Exhibit D CMLRB 112 Permit Application
Agile Stone Systems. Inc.
• 5.0 Crossings
The crossings were designed by Verkaik and Associates Engineers (12/97) to allow free
access along the entire length of the stream to any fish and wildlife, to limit any sediment
release from operations and to limit any potential damage downstream of the structures in
the event of any lazge storm event. The details of the Tallahassee Creek crossing designs
aze subject to the regulations of Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the Army Corps of
Engineers. The designs have been favorably reviewed by the Colorado Division of
Wildlife and The Army Corp of Engineers. (See enclosed letters.)
6.0 Railroad Tracks
A rail loop approximately 0.6 miles in length. Product stockpiles will be located along
the north half of this loop for loading product into railroad cars. An additional 0.5 miles
of `tivye" and stub tracks will be constructed which are referred to in the "Roads and
Railways" table as the West Wye, the East Wye, and Stub tracks. The loop will have a
wye at both the east and west ends will both wyes connecting to railroad track on the
railroad right of way. The applicant has granted the UPRR and the current common
carrier rairoad, Rock & Rail, Inc. buying the track from the UPRR the right to build
track from their right of way into the project area to connect to the applicant's tracks.
The stub tracks will be used to store cars requiring maintenance and/or storage. These
tracks will remain after mining to service the operational and maintenance requirements
of the shortline and tourist railroad operations.
• Approximately 0.32 miles of rail track will be constructed north across the east end of the
gravel baz into the granite quarry area. 1-3 stub tracks each about 0.1 of a mile will be
built at the quarry for loading of product from the quarry. (The stub tracks are
incorporated within the single stub track drawn on the Mining Plan Map.) Quarry tracks
will be moved as the quarry floor expands from mining to maintain track proximity to
transport rock to crushers and load products from appropriate stockpiles. The track to the
quarry will also be connected to the loop track by a 0.173 mile connecting track.
Railroad track construction will include available topsoil salvage and grading. Any top
soil recovered will be placed onto the temporary topsoil stockpile. A profile drawing
depicting the rail loop from main line to the Tallahassee Creek granite quarry crossing is
included along with sections showing cut and fill along the loop path. After any topsoil
incurred is removed, the roadbed area will be graded and track placed on top. Ballast will
be placed between and on the sides of track ties. Track right of way (ROW) will be 20'
to 24' wide with a single lane maintenance road adjacent to the tracks.
7.0 Service Area
The service area is a 5 acre azea comprised of a pazking lot, fuel tank and combination
maintenance -office -locker room building with an adjacent truck scale. Engineered
plans have been provided in Exhibit B in the "Maintenance Building" plan and design.
The service area will not be reclaimed when mining is finished since both railroads and
. the ranch will need to use the maintenance facility and the fuel and parking azeas.
