Mr. Jerry White Lorimer County Planning Division April 25, 1995 Page 3 This operation is directly related to the construction activity in the azea. Generally in the winter months mining activity will be light. Through the spring it will progress, with summer and fall being the busiest seasons. Generally speaking, the summer and fall months will be twice as busy as the winter months. The most concise way to explain the truck traffic generation is by the following Table 5-1. TABLE 5-1 TRUCK TRAFFIC GENERATION Quarter of the year Dec., Jan., Febr. March, April, May June, July, August Sept., Oct., Nov. Percent of Sales .15 .25 .30 .30 Tons Sold 33,750.00 56,250.00 67,500.00 67,500.00 Working Days per Week 5 5 6 6 Working Days per Quarter 65 65 78 78 Working Hours per Day 8 8 8 8 Average Tons per Day 519.23 865.38 865.38 865.38 Average Truck Trips per Day 45 75 75 75 Average Truck Trips per Hour 8 13 13 13 A normal yeaz is divide into four, three month quarters. These quarters aze offset by one month of a normal calendaz yeaz quarter. Also, the volume of sales on the summer and fall months is twice as much as the winter months. Using these percentages on 225,000 tons per yeaz sales, we can calculate up with tons sold during each quarter. Following through the table, one can see how the average truck trip per hour aze calculated. The number of truck trips may very greatly from the average and is dependent on whether business is slow or busy. The maximum number of employees working the sight will be 20. Therefore, there will be a maximum of40 trips per day genetated by employees. Also, we expect an additional eight trips per day will be generated by deliveries, inspections and miscellaneous traffic.
