CAMEO GRAVEL <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />The Ute Water filtration plant is located approximately 1/4 mile to the South on a lower <br />(100 ft.) bench just North of Rapid Creek. <br />Palisade Water filtration plant is located across Rapid Creek approximately'/: mile <br />South from the site. <br />A previous rip/rap quarry, which is not active at this time, was located on William <br />Scoggins property (Mesa County Conditional Use Permit C~5-86) approximately 1!8 <br />mile to the Southwest of this proposed site. <br />The closest residence is William Scoggins, located North of Rapid Creek. The next <br />closest resident is Emery Atchinson, approximately 1/4 mile westerly of William <br />Scoggins. Both residents have been contacted and have no objections to the project <br />(See enclosed Approval Forms). <br />9.) TRANSPORTATION <br />Trucks wilt be used to transport the material approximately 314 mile from the storage <br />yard site to the I-70 frontage road. The existing haul road to I-70 will be improved with <br />select materials during the life of the quarry on an as-needed basis. <br />All but two short sections of the existing haul road are on property owned by the <br />applicant. The short sections (700 & 800 feet) of road are on property owned by <br />Powderhom Properties. Easements have been secured by Rudy Fontanari to use <br />these roads (See Exhibit "N"). <br />It is estimated that an average of 25 loads with a maximum of 150 loads will be hauled <br />from the site per day. A water truck will be used for dust suppression on the haul road <br />as needed. <br />Access to the I-70 distribution point will be at the truck stop interchange near Island <br />Acres. The I-70 roads have been designed for heavy use and should not be negatively <br />impacted by the additional proposed haul traffic. The close access to a major point of <br />delivery enhances the value of the proposed mineral extraction site. <br />10.) COMPATIBILITY OF LAND USE <br />This site is located within the perimeter of an identified minerals resource area (A4) on <br />Plate 2 of the "Mineral Resource Survey of Mesa County". Evaluation of the minerals <br />resource (See Bames Geologic Report) confirmed the sites to contain deposits of <br />commercial value. <br />No residential or commercial developments exist or are proposed which will restrict the <br />ability of the owner to extract the minerals available. <br />4 <br />
