• TRANSPORTATION <br /> Trucks will be used to transport the material approximately 314 mile from the quarry site <br /> to the 1-70 frontage road. The existing haul road to 1-70 will be improved with select <br /> materials during the life of the quarry on an as-needed basis. <br /> All but two short sections of the existing haul road are on property owned by the <br /> applicant. The short sections (700 & 800 feet) of road are on property owned by <br /> Peabody Coal. Easements have been requested and are in the process of being <br /> prepared. <br /> It is estimated that an average of 25 loads with a maximum of 150 loads will be hauled <br /> from the site per day. A water truck will be used for dust suppression on the haul road <br /> as needed. <br /> Access to the 1-70 distribution point will be at the truck stop interchange near Island <br /> Acres. The 1-70 roads have been designed for heavy use and should not be negatively <br /> impacted by the additional proposed haul traffic. The close access to a major point of <br /> delivery enhances the value of the proposed mineral extraction site. <br /> • <br /> 3 <br />
