The operator <br />submitted an amendment application to increase the permit acreage. The proposed expanded acreage lies <br />south of the existing permit. The operator proposes to excavate the 30-50 foot gravel layers that form the top of <br />the hill outcrops in the expanded acreage. The hilly areas total about 400 acres within the 2,260 proposed <br />expanded acreage. <br />Drove to and reviewed a new road which traverses a portion of the proposed expanded area. This road is just a <br />realignment of County Road 112. The project was funded by Holcim, Inc. according to the applicant so the <br />existing county road around the cement plant could be abandoned and reclaimed. Other road projects <br />include installing a culvert under the existing road near the power line ROW and widening the road for a short <br />distance. <br />Observed a drilling crew in the canal ROW. They said they were testing the soils to determine the depth to <br />bedrock for a new bridge over the canal. The old existing bridge is deteriorating (wood is rotting). <br />As noted above, the operator proposes to mine the hill fops within the expanded area so most of the proposed <br />expanded area will not be disturbed. <br />The operator has agreed not to mine within 200 feet of the existing man-made structures (sub-station, power <br />lines, irrigation canal, etc.) so the mining operation will not adversely affect the stability of the significant man- <br />made structures. <br />Did not observe any obvious problems. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Tom Smith <br />OPERATOR: Rocky Mtn.
