Haul roads will be graded and constructed using the existing pit run where needed outside <br /> the processing area in order to move material from the mine using haul trucks, loaders, or <br /> scrapers. These roads will be mined and removed as the mining is completed. <br /> Access roads to the processing plant will be constructed with aggregates made at the site <br /> where the entrance to the permit boundary is located to the scale house and through the <br /> scaling area until the access reaches the stockpile locations. The roads around the <br /> stockpiles will be constructed from the existing pit run similar to the haul roads. <br /> Miscellaneous Equipment <br /> Dewatering pumps, electrical trailer, generator trailer, small portable generators and <br /> watering trucks will be used as needed. <br /> As mining progresses, topsoil and overburden will be stripped to expose the aggregate product <br /> below. Topsoil will be stripped and salvaged from areas where overburden material will be <br /> stockpiled. All soil and overburden material will be used on-site for reclamation; so long-term <br /> stockpiling of these materials is not anticipated. Overburden stockpiles will be located within the <br /> permit boundary. See the attached mining plan in Exhibit C for the stockpile locations. <br /> Mining of the aggregate will progress down to the underlying bedrock. Since reclamation will <br /> occur concurrently with mining, it is not anticipated that overburden material will be stockpiled <br /> long-term prior to use in production of road base. During mining, the face will have a 3H:1V <br /> slope to bedrock or the bottom of the future reclaimed reservoir and the reclamation slope will <br /> be the same 3H:1 V slope (i.e. the reclaimed slope will be completed as mining occurs). The <br /> processed aggregate material will be temporarily stockpiled near the portable processing plant. <br /> The operator may import materials from off-site locations and export materials to other sites. <br /> The applicant and/or operator recognize that per Rule 3.1.5(9) of the Construction Material <br /> Rules and Regulations that if imported materials are used as backfill there must be <br /> documentation that is notarized and provided to the Division stating materials are inert. The <br /> applicant/operator will provide documentation to the Division if off-site materials are going to be <br /> used at the time of reclamation. <br /> Recommendations for monitoring of slope stability, including, conducting a visual inspection of <br /> the excavated slopes on a weekly basis for the duration of mining, conducting a visual <br /> inspection after a major precipitation event that has saturated the ground using the same <br /> procedures, contacting qualified personnel to evaluate and recommend remediation work to <br /> stabilize the area in the event a visual inspection detects signs of potential slope failure, and if <br /> no visible signs of slope failure are detected during mining, reducing visual inspections to once <br /> every six months after mining completion, or after every major precipitation event. <br /> All local, State, and Federal rules and regulations will be followed for the storage and handling <br /> of any fuel for the facilities. <br /> Topsoil Handling Plan <br /> As stated previously the topsoil will be stripped to expose the aggregate product underlying the <br /> topsoil. The topsoil will be stripped using scrapers and stockpiled in the topsoil stockpile area as <br /> depicted in Exhibit C. Topsoil will be stripped and salvaged from areas where overburden <br /> material will be stockpiled. The volume of topsoil is approximately 170,000 cubic yards. The <br /> depth of the topsoil is approximately twelve inches over the majority of the mining area. The <br /> MI Central Colorado Water Conservancy District <br /> V i JET Consulting,Inc.
