Primary, Sernndary, and Incidental Products to be Produced The primary products produced from the Li11y Mines is white marble to be used for cultured mazbie production, pool construction, and landscape rock. The high quality calcium cazbonate may also be used in cement production and environmental control uses such as acidic soils mitigation. Mazble production will also include raw material for the manufacturing of joint compound products. Lower (near US50) Staging Area The one-acre staging azea located 900' East of the intersection of US Highway 50 and Forest Service Road 228 is covered for entry and use under FS Road Permit SAL-378. However, USFS District Management has determined that the Forest Service will allow no stockpiling of material or storage of equipment more than twenty-four hours. The area will be used for truck turn out and loading/unloading of mining equipment during mobilization procedures. Forest Service Road 228 from US Highway 50 to above Mine Site This 17.8 acre area encompasses a 60' m;n;mum affected land boundary along Forest Service Road 228 from the intersection of US Highway 50 and FS Road 228 approximately 2.2 miles to southern boundary of the permit area. US Forest Service documentation included in this submittal refers to special use permit SAL-378, a US Forest Service conditional use permit for road use and maintenance. Relocation of Forest Service Road 228 Within Affected Land $oundaries Initial plans for road re-location have been modified to allow for maximum flexibility with USFS during the period of time necessary to meet all potential NEPA requirements prior to submittal of a formal re-location plan to the DMG. USFS personnel have verbally approved an interim plan to extend FS Road 228 along the western side of the containment berm from it's present location west of the Taylor Gulch crossing northwards along the berm to the northern end of the presently disturbed area. A notarized letter approving this interim measure has been requested and will be fotwazded to DMG as soon as it is available. In addition, the initial Taylor Gulch crossing and rip- rap channel has been constructed to allow for high cleazance vehicle access until the proposed in-site road re-location is completed (2007). Existing Road 228 will not be mixed or removed prior to receipt of written USFS approval ofroad re-location. Moreover, an alternative public access road using the roadway built to access the AML alit opening located in the southeastern corner of the proposed affected land may be considered for use. Regazdless of the alternative selected for public access in the future, a permit amendment will likely be required. Colorado Mazble, Inc., plans on developing a long-range road re-location plan for FS Road 228 that will be submitted within the next two to three years. 13
