LIMITED IMPACT 110 A~ICATION FOR • <br />PIT NUMBER ONE <br />APPLICANT: MARILYN VAZQUEZBRUCE DIAMOND <br />EXHIIiTI' C <br />MIIVING PLAN (Page 1 of 2) <br />This proposed operation is to provide Construction Materials to the industry in the Upper <br />Arkansas River Valley. Primary products will be graded sands and gravels, cobbles and boulders. <br />Topsoil is anticipated as a secondary product. The products are to be processed on this site by a <br />portable screen. This operation will not have any structures. It will not use any water or <br />chemicals, and it will not disturb any ground or surface water. <br />Operation will commence upon notification by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board that <br />all permit requirements have been met. The anticipated life of this operation is approximately 40 <br />years. <br />Excavation will begin on the north end of the Affected Area and proceed southerly. Very rocky <br />topsoil covers this site to a depth of approximately 2 feet. Topsoil for reclamation will be <br />screened to remove rocks larger than 6" and stockpiled in rows at the top of the cut on the east, <br />west and north sides of the Affected Area. The topsoil stockpiles will be sloped no greater that <br />2H:1 V, to minimize erosion. Based on local experience, the stockpile will quickly revegetate from <br />native seed. <br />Slopes into the pit will be cut at the rate 2H:1 V, in preparation for reclamation. At a vertical <br />depth of approximately 20 feet below the existing ground, the pit will be flattened, possibly with a <br />,~ <br />slight downhill slope to the south. <br />All materials below the growth medium are usable. No overburden or waste rock is anticipated. <br />Excavation will be done as material is needed. All other stockpiling will be minimal and <br />temporary, and will be contained within the pit. <br />This proposed operation will consist of an existing access road from the county road to the pit <br />(across the applicant's property), the single pit excavation, and a portable screen. No structures <br />or any other facilities are planned. <br />The Affected Area to contain the actual pit of this proposed operation is 300 feet east-west by <br />1325 feet north-south, with proposed buffers of 50 feet on the north, and 25 feet on the east, west <br />and south. The pit will measure 250 feet by 1250 feet. <br />The access road to this proposed operation, from Chaffee County Road No. 301 (see Exhibit A, <br />Affected Area, Parcel 2, Access Road), is approximately 700 feet long. It is the existing driveway <br />used by the Applicant to enter their property. The driveway continues on an existing farm road <br />and enters Parcel 1-Pit of the Affected Area. The existing road surface is unimproved and will be <br />upgraded and maintained with material from this pit as needed. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />
