ExHieri D <br />Mwwo PuW (coNT) <br />wpm Asuc 2002 <br />a temporary surface runoff collection pond during mining and <br />reclamation. <br />Amendment # 8 - SECONDARY ACCESS ROAD <br />The "Secondary Access Corridor" is where a second access <br />road will be built. This road will provide one way access from <br />Highway 6 to the mining area. As a result of the increased <br />demand for product the operator began to plan for future hauling <br />needs in 1999. This increased demand had put more pressure on <br />the single entrance than expected in 1983. The analysis and the <br />current operation indicate that a change is needed to the way <br />trucks enter, flow thru and exit the site. To optimize traffic <br />in and around the mine it has become necessary to add an addi- <br />tional access point into the mine. <br />The new road proposal is to build a one-way access to the <br />mine floor so that vehicles traveling up Highway 6 will enter the <br />mine from the east near where Highway 40 meets Highway 6. This <br />east entrance would nearly eliminate all trucks turning right <br />into the existing entrance and reduce the time trucks coming off <br />I-70 have to sit in the decell lane waiting to make a left turn <br />into the quarry. It would also improve the traffic pattern in <br />the quarry and eliminate some of the circulation problems being <br />encountered now. <br />In 1999 the Frei applied for an access permit from CDOT and <br />received preliminary approval (permit #199103) based on the road <br />being a right in only access. The permit requires a decell Zane <br />with a 90 degree turn on to the mine property from the CDOT <br />R.O.W.. The exact details of the entrance design is not known at <br />this time. This will be finalized once we have approval. This <br />negates Amendment #3~„8,~, that allowed backfilling in the ravine. <br />As the new road is constructed the fill will be removed and used <br />in the mine for reclamation. <br />8 <br />
