130,000 t /10 months activity = 13,000 tons per month. <br />13,000 tons/month /24 days per month = 541 tons/day <br />Since 60% of tonnage will use 15 ton trucks and 40% will use 24 tons, the average is 18.6 tons. <br />Therefore, at 541 tons per day, this is 541/18.6 = 291oads per day over 12 hours. <br />This is 2.41oaded trucks per hour, and 2.4 empty trucks will return per hour. Other traffic such as <br />employees, sales, fuel, etc. will be estimated at 1.0 vehicles per hour, therefore the total traffic per <br />hour is expected to be 2.4 x 2 = 4.8 +1(other traffic) = 5.8 vehicles per hour rounded to 6 vehicles <br />per hour. A maximum peak flow would be 7-8 vehicles per hour. <br />This is well within CDOT limits for requirements of accel or decel lanes from the operation, even if <br />one entrance was used. Since this traffic will be equally split between Access #6 to the north and ei- <br />ther Access # 1 or Access #4 to the south, the peak hourly traffic at either entrance would be 3-4 vehi- <br />cles per hour. <br />7) The projected final use of the site (see reclamation plan) is a combined use of commercial, resi- <br />dential and open space with ponds. The reclamation plan calls for much smoother surfaces, place- <br />ment of topsoil or substitute topsoil on all azeas, seeding and tree sapling planting. The Trust also <br />plans to work with the local office of the CDOW to discuss any ways that the final site could be en- <br />hanced for wildlife. The commercial portion is planned along Highway 9 (which is also shown on <br />the existing town master plan) and residential is planned for the area further east of the Highway. <br />Wetland azeas will be planned along the ponds to be left as part of the plan. It is believed that the <br />nature of this plan will make the site much better for the town and the Trust. <br />Alma Placer 7/03 36 <br />
