required. Ground wateTwill be pumped to the existing slo~jh found adjacent to the <br />extraction area and ultimately to the Gunnison River. <br />CRUSHING AND STOCKPILE AREA -All of the gravel processing of the excavated <br />material will occur within the identified process area. The screened or crushed material <br />will be stockpiled nearby according to size in an area separate from overburden and top <br />soil stockpiles. <br />ASPHALT PRODUCTION - A portable asphalt plan may be erected on the site. Any <br />asphalt production which occurs will be limited to the identified process area. Maximum <br />production for portable plants is about 2000 tons per day. Operation of the plant is <br />typically limited to the months between March and November. The plant will meet or <br />exceed all State and Federal pollution requirements, and is inspected on a regular basis <br />by governmental authorities. <br />HAUL ROAD -The existing roads and access serving the site are well maintained and are <br />in good repair. Access to the site is gained from US Highway 50 utilizing a separate <br />ingress/egress easement. Production levels will not increase as a result of the permit <br />boundary modification. Therefore, increases in traffic will not change over the historic <br />volumes. The northerly 600 feet of the haul route is paved the remaining haul routes will <br />have a gravel surtace. <br />Given the maximum production of the crushing, asphalt and concrete production coupled <br />with available trucks, it is estimated that a peak of 5 trips per hour wilt utilize the haul route <br />at maximum production. <br />Two types of trucks will be used; 10 yard dump trucks with a capacity of 15 tons and 23 <br />ton capacity belly dump trucks. <br />In order to control dust on the haul road and within the mining area, water will be used. <br />Dust control measures will be conducted on an as needed bases. <br />OTHER USES - In addition to the above listed activities the following are also ancillary to <br />the mining and processing activities: <br />Parking for workers <br />- Scales <br />Portable office and lab <br />Equipment storage and maintenance <br />Portable toilets <br />Portable fuel and water storage <br />There will be no permanent storage of oil, fuel or hazardous material within the permit <br />boundary. Since the stroage of these products is tempoary, earthen containment dikes will <br />be constructed around the containers. Dikes will constructed in a fashon to contain at <br />least 110 percent of the volume of the largest storage vessel within the containment area. <br />rev. n,2s v~ D - 2 <br />
