the aggregate placed in stockpiles. Other rock products may be hauled <br />directly from the operation without prior sizing. <br />As the pit increases in size, benches will be created to facilitate <br />stability, safety and reclamation. The benches will create an overall piY <br />slope (as measured along the crests of the benches) of about 45 to 55 •75 - / y,.~ <br />degrees, depending on the competency of the rock. Anticipated spacing and <br />heights of the benches are discussed in Exhibit E. <br />Runoff diversions may be constructed upslope of the pit operations <br />during mining. The ditches will be maintained as necessary during mining <br />but will not be ` flt` i'tMl~ ree~~a~ettew(refer to Exhibit <br />E). <br />Process and stockpile areas will be initially located in the existing <br />disturbed areas, and may move somewhat along the floor of the pit as mining <br />progresses. Any buildia~s which may be constructed rill be temporary and <br />removed upon completion of operational In addition, depending on the local <br />need for various rock products, a portable asphalt batch plant maybe <br />placed temporarily on si,~e. <br />To the extent possible reclamation will occur in conjunction with the <br />mining operation. As discussed above, benches will be developed during <br />mining. Some soil replacement and revegetation can occur on the higher <br />benches during mining. Final reclamation will occur as operations in a <br />particular phase have been completed. <br />Access to the site will continue to be on the existing road directly <br />off Colorado Highway 24 to the south. <br />A building owned by the landowner is located near the north boundary <br />of the permit area as illustrated on the Exhibit C map. The applicant has <br />an option to purchase the property. Upon completion of permitting the <br />
