No night mining activity is scheduled for the operation; however portable lighting may be used <br />within the pit from time to time. The portable lights will only be used at the bottom of the pit for <br />the purpose of after hour equipment maintenance and crushing activities. Due to the depth, the <br />surrounding topography, and the buffers aoound the property, lighting is not expected to cause a <br />nuisance to any neighbors. Furthermore, lighting will be shielded in order to further ensure that <br />the lights do not cause a nuisance. The portable mining equipment such as loaders, dozers, trucks <br />and excavators will be serviced on an as-needed basis onsite. Upon reclamation, all portable <br />equipment will be removed from the site. <br />There will be no new fence around the operation, since it is inside private property, and there is a <br />buffer of at least 30' on all sides for excavation within the permit azea. In some cases, the permit <br />azea is in line with the property boundary. No problems aze expected with vandalism. It is <br />extremely unlikely that any toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered during the <br />mining operation since the past mining shows that the material is alluvial in nature. However, in <br />the event that such materials are encountered, they will be covered with subsoil and topsoil from <br />the stockpiles to the same depths outlined in the reclamation plan and no more mining will occur <br />in this area. <br />The operator commits to clearly mazking the permit boundary with stakes surveyed on site. <br />The site will use all existing roads to haul the product to its final destination. It is planned that <br />the mined material may be used to re-surface existing roads, make concrete aggregate or provide <br />new toad base for any new roads within an economic distance to the site. <br />If any "reportable quantity" of hazardous material or waste is released into the environrnent, the <br />operator will notify staff of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety as well as <br />all other appropriate local, state and federal agencies. This is more completely described by an <br />excerpt from the February 8, 2002 DRMS memorandum regazding Minerals Program <br />Notification of Toxic or Hazardous Materials Spills at Mine Sites." <br />"A reportable spill is a spill of any toxic or hazardous substance (including spills ofpetroleum <br />products) within the permit area reportable to any Division of the Colorado Department of Public <br />White River City Pit, April 07 D-9 <br />
