<br /> <br />4. APPLICATION FORM: <br />The application for mining and reclamation permit <br />is enclosed with the required data. <br />5. SURFACE OWNER OF AFFECTED LAND: <br />The area involved by this application is owned by <br />Mr. Harley T. Jackson. A copy of our lease agreement <br />with Mr. Jackson is enclosed. <br />6. SUBSURFACE RIGHTS OF AFFECTED LAND: <br />The subsurface rights for this area are also owned <br />by Mr. Harley T. Jackson. <br />MINING"PLAN: <br />A. GENERAL PROPOSAL: <br />We plan to mine the natural sand and gravel <br />deposit from the proposed pit, crush, process and <br />stockpile the resulting aggregates at the site. The <br />processed aggregates will be removed from the pit <br />area as demand requires. <br />Our use of the aggregates will be for the construction <br />of the aforementioned highway project, both as granular <br />bases and select borrow. <br />B. THE CRUSHER PLAN: <br />The crusher, which will process the sand and <br />gravel that is removed from the pit will be located <br />on this property. It will not be a permanent crushing <br />operation but operated as the demand necessitates. <br />We will haul the sand and gravel to the crusher from <br />the deposit with trucks. During hauling operations <br />a water truck and motor grader will be utilized to <br />keep the haul road maintained and dust at an absolute <br />minimum. Also adequate noise abatement equipment <br />will be employed with the crushing equipment. <br />Our initial move-in and start-up on this pit will be <br />at the location shown. The gravel will be mined the <br />full depth. In this manner, the reclamation can be <br />done as the mining progresses. <br />C. THE PIT OPERATION: <br />_~ The overburden will be removed and stockpiled <br />from the area of the pit exposing the natural sand <br />and gravel deposit. Because much of the sand and <br />gravel deposit lies below the water table, a sump <br />/~^,~~o -~ dewatering operation will be used in the pit. A dike <br />will be constructed between the Gunnison River (shown <br />in blue) and the pit area which will be a minimum of <br />fifty feet in width. At that time, the material can <br />be loaded into the trucks with a front end loader, for <br />
