This <br />recommendation is consistent with the mining plan that has been submitted for the <br />operation. In so doing, this operation will not adversely affect the stability <br />oP any significant, valuable or man-made structure within two hundred feet of the <br />affected land. <br />As depicted on the Mining Plan Map, a haul road will be constructed along the <br />north portion of the property. This road will be paved with asphalt in the <br />interest of controlling fugitive dust from the road during hauling. The roadway <br />will be 30 feet wide and 1000 feet long. This road will be left in place after <br />completion of mining to serve as access for the area in the south-east corner of <br />the property that will not be mined. <br />A truck scale will be placed in the alignment of the haul road at a location 900 <br />feet east of Highway 550. Eventhough the scale is portable, it will be situated <br />on a concrete foundation that will be 70 feet long, 10 feet wide and 3 feet high. <br />A mobile office trailer will be located ad~aeent to the scale. <br />United Companies d Mesa County, fnc. <br />
