<br />The processing azea contains the crushing and screening for the raw material. Some of the <br />material will be washed for use in the on-site concrete plant. An on-site asphalt plant will also <br />use some of the washed material. The processing azea also includes a concrete casting facility <br />where concrete forms are made for construction projects. <br />The settling basin may be sectioned by berms. These berms will allow water accumulate in the <br />each section before spilling over into the next section. This procedure allows a large amount of <br />sediment to settle out of the water, so that the last section will have clean water. The clean water <br />can be reused for processing. <br />Mining will proceed to Cell 2 and progress as shown on Exhibit C. <br />Before the remaining cells are mined a dewatering trench will be constructed azound portions of <br />their perimeters. A sump hole will be created at the lowest point of the dewatering trenches. <br />The sump holes and dewatering trenches will allow sediment to settle before the water is pumped <br />to the South Platte River using a groundwater discharge pump. Water may also be pumped into <br />adjoining cells. <br />Lastly, Cell 5 will be mined. As the azea in Cell 5 is reduced in size, the processing equipment <br />will be moved closer to the south border of the property and eventually moved off-site. During <br />the life of the operation, the processing equipment will be a combination of portable and <br />stationary pieces. <br />Table D-1 outlines the maximum azea of disturbance at any one time in the life-of--mine. Table <br />D-1 is based on disturbance in Cell 2. See Exhibit L for more detail. <br />Sediment Basin 4 acres <br />Stripped ahead of Mining 10 acres <br />Active mining area 10 acres <br />Topsoil and overburden stockpiles 3 acres <br />Dewatering trench 1 acres <br />Roads 2 acres <br />Processing plant 27 acres <br />Lakeshore final graded with topsoil 2 acres <br />Lakeshore seeded 2 acres <br />Total Disturbed Area 61 acres <br />Lafazge will maintain a 200 feet setback from the South Platte River, a 25 feet setback from the <br />property boundary, and 25 feet setback from Weld County Road 6 and 8. These setbacks aze <br />labeled on Exhibit C. <br />Adjacent to the South Platte River, the operator may mine and backfill within 100 feet between <br />October 1~' and May ls'. During these low runoff months, there is little risk of high river flows <br />and bank breaching. <br />D-2 <br />
