sides of the mine. An overburden berm will be maintained along the north permit boundary as seen <br /> on Map C-6 until time for final reclamation. This berm will provide a visual buffer between the active <br /> mining area and neighbors north of the operation. It will be a continuation of the berm built during <br /> the mining of Phase 1 C, and be 15 feet tall. Overburden stored in this berm will be used in final <br /> reclamation. Most of the original topsoil berm will remain in place until final reclamation, since <br /> topsoil stripped from most mining will be immediately used in reclamation in mined out areas. Both <br /> the overburden and topsoil berms will be used in final reclamation to complete backfilling and <br /> topsoiling as needed. Temporary topsoil storage within the processing area will be conducted as <br /> need. See the mining maps for the topsoil storage areas. <br /> 4. Water Handling <br /> No water diversions or impoundments will be needed a part of the mining operation. Water will be <br /> used in processing and dust control, and will come from either the Basin Ditch or will be brought on <br /> site by water trucks. Area surface water will be allowed to drain to the site, since the size of <br /> excavation will be substantially bigger than the volume of runoff the local area will generate. No <br /> water will be discharge from the site during mining. <br /> 5. Schedule of Operations <br /> Consistent with the Garfield County Code, the Cerise Mine will operate 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. <br /> Monday through Saturday with crushing, digging, and heavy hauling allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 <br /> pm allowing for administrative and maintenance activities to take place until 8:00 p.m. No <br /> operations except emergency maintenance to ensure the integrity of operating equipment will take <br /> place on Sunday. <br /> 6. Garfield County Impacts <br /> The Garfield County land use permit has been approved by the Garfield County Board of County <br /> Commissioners. This permit addresses the impacts the operation will have on the local citizenry. <br /> 7. Importing of Material <br /> The pit may accept concrete materials that have been removed from existing sites in order that they <br /> can be recycled through the plants on site. Fill material may also be accepted into the mine site. Fill <br /> material will be spread out on the mined out pit floor and will be blended into the final landscape. <br /> Some material may also be re-sold as construction material. None of this material can be accepted <br /> by the Operator without certification by the deliverer that it is inert and safe. <br /> Cerise Mine <br /> .erne 2021 D-5 © Leµicki&Associates <br />
