<br />Ammended <br />ERHIHIT "C" <br />PRE-MINING AND MINING MAPS <br />The attached Pre-Mining and 14ining Piap shows the proposed gravel pit <br />located 0.75 miles south of Highway 50. A reclaimed portion of the Mesa <br />- County Landfill lies South of the site. <br />The site of the proposed gravel mining activity is currently vacant of <br />structures and serves as rangeland. The property will continue to serve <br />as rangeland after the reclamation of the gravel pit. The property lies <br />atop a large mesa-like hill. Several small gullies adjoin the site. <br />There is a pre-existing disturbance where some gravel extraction has <br />occurred on the site in the past. The permit area's location, being <br />adjacent to the county landfill and hidden from view, has made it easy <br />for the public to leave trash and debris on the site in the past. In the <br />pre-existing disturbance area there are broken pieces of steel-reinforced <br />concrete culvert, dumped by someone in the past. The asphalt road (29 <br />3/4 Road) which leads into the property has since been closed at the top <br />of the hill by Mesa County at the request of the property owners. <br />A survey of the property located in the immediate vicinity reveals <br />several land uses. The most obvious land use is the site of Mesa <br />County's Orchard Mesa Landfill which adjoins the subject site to the <br />South. Even though the predominate land use adjoining the property is <br />rangeland, it is very limited. The Mesa County Road Department has <br />previously extracted gravel from a 2D acre site immediately east of the <br />subject property. The applicants for the new permit are currently <br />operating a gravel pit immediately east of the Mesa County Road <br />Department gravel pit. A small single-family development known as Burns <br />Subdivision, is located about 1,000 feet north of the site. <br />The land within 200 feet to the north and east of the proposed site is <br />awned be Charles and Sandra DuCray, principles of both Mountain Region <br />Corporation and Orchard Mesa Aggregates. The adjacent land to the south <br />and east of the site is owned by Mesa County, known as the Orchard Mesa <br />~ /Landfill. <br />~k~4/ <br />
