have a total setback of 107 feet from the mining limits. The ditch was assumed to <br />be carrying the normal level of water during the summer use time period. The <br />mining side slope in this location will be near vertical. <br />Case 4 -South Platte River. The South Platte River runs through the west side <br />of the permit boundary. The mining depth was assumed to be 29.5 feet in this <br />azea based on bore log information provided by Aggregate Industries -WCR, Inc. <br />The proposed mining setback was set 40 feet from the property line. This <br />provides a 160 foot setback from the mining limits to the outside top of bank of <br />the river. The slurry wall was located 30 feet from the mining limits and 10 feet <br />from the property line. The mining side slope in this location will be neaz vertical. <br />Case 5 - Howe/Haller Pit. The north permit boundary is adjacent to Lafarge's <br />Howe/Haller Pit. The mining depth was assumed to be 30 feet in the azea based <br />on bore log information provided by Aggregate Industries -WCR, Inc. The Bull <br />Seep is located approximately 5 feet north of the property line. The proposed <br />mining setback was set 45 feet from the property line, providing a 50 foot setback <br />to the Bull Seep. The Bull Seep was assumed to be carrying the normal level of <br />water during the summer use time period. The Howe/Haller Pit was assumed <br />mined to 30 foot depth and reclaimed with a 3H:1 V embankment. It was also <br />assumed to be full of water with 2 feet of freeboard. The mining side slope in this <br />location will be near vertical. <br />Case 6 -Steady State Condition. The north permit boundary is adjacent to <br />Lafarge's Howe/Haller Pit. The mining depth was assumed to be 30 feet in the <br />area based on bore log information provided by Aggregate Industries -WCR, Inc. <br />The Bull Seep is located approximately 5 feet north of the property line. The <br />proposed mining setback was set 45 feet from the property line, providing a 50 <br />foot setback to the Bull Seep. The Bull Seep was assumed to be carrying the <br />normal level of water during the summer use time period. The Howe/Haller Pit <br />was assumed mined to 30 foot depth and reclaimed with a 3H: I V embankment. It <br />was also assumed to be full of water with 2 feet of freeboazd. The mined slope <br />was assumed to be reclaimed with a 3H:1V embanlanent. The pit was assumed <br />full of water with 2 feet of freeboard. <br />The cross-sections located in the Appendix show the estimated phreatic surface <br />associated with each case as well as the geometry used in the mining, shiny wall, and <br />embanlanent conditions. <br />METHODOLOGY <br />The mining embankment configuration shown in the computer analysis represents the <br />estimated conditions for this site. If mining conditions differ from the estimated <br />conditions, the slope stability will need to be reevaluated on a case by case basis. <br />
