3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br /> It is extremely unlikely that any toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered during the <br /> mining operation as the site was historically used as rangeland and no toxic or acid-producing <br /> materials were encountered at the adjacent Weimer Ranches#2 Pit. However, in the event that <br /> such materials are encountered,they will be covered with overburden and topsoil from onsite <br /> stockpiles to the same depths outlined in the reclamation plan and no more mining will occur in <br /> the area.No blasting or explosives will occur/be used during mining nor on site. <br /> Fuel will be brought to the site by a mobile fueling truck and will be housed in the portable fuel <br /> tanks detailed below.No permanent structures will be built within the permit area as part of this <br /> operation. <br /> Water required for dust abatement operations at the site is to be supplied from commercially <br /> available,nearby sources (Nucla, CO)and truck-hauled to the site.Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 <br /> gallons will be used per day for haul road dust control. <br /> No washing of gravel will occur on site. <br /> Gravel processing equipment is portable; however,the processing area will remain in the <br /> northwest corner of the site. An APEN will not be required as the site will not mine>70,000 <br /> tons of material per year and is therefore exempt. Portable mining equipment such as loaders, <br /> trucks and excavators will be serviced on an as-needed basis onsite. Upon reclamation, all <br /> portable equipment will be removed from the site. A summary of equipment and related tanks <br /> that may exist on site at any given time is listed below. <br /> - —500-gallon portable diesel fuel tank in secondary containment(110%of tank capacity) <br /> The following list is the best estimate of equipment that will be used onsite throughout the mine <br /> life: <br /> - 1 Front end loaders <br /> - 1 Dump truck <br /> Weimer Ranches#4 4:.,R I.
