� � �.., s.... III Iiilllliillii ill EL PASO COUNTY 110 PERMIT APPLICATION 1? 1980 October 17, 1980 !_Mar, PEaaMFlri Exhibit A The area of disturbance varies with each location. Most of the gravel deposits are lenticular and small in acreage. Our mining plans are to remove the gravel from the deepest part of the deposit first then work our the sides until we hit clay or sand. We can list the area of dis- turbance in the existing pits but cannot determine the extent of the operation in the future as we have not done any core drilling to deter- mine the exact extent of the individual deposits. We currently do not have any pits larger than 7.5 acres including haul roads. The areas of existing disturbance are as follows: NJ 1 10 41t otNe, s Alford, 01142 - 5 acres, no haul road Asper, 01274 - 5 acres, no haul road Dellacroce, 71341 - 4.5 acres + 1.5 acre haul road 13 Devorss, 16284 — 5 acres, no haul road Edwards State, 45032 - 4 acres + 1 acre haul road Haver, 12173 — 4 acres, no haul road Hodgen, 32833 - 5 acres, no haul road Mayhew, 03121 - 5 acres, no haul road Norris State, 46013 — 5 acres + 1 acre haul road Polders, 02332 - 7 acres, no haul road Sokol, 22223 - 7.5 acres, no haul road - r,,,ax Thieman, 04023 - 5 acres, no haul road Wilson, 13083 - 3 acres, no haul road (stock pond) Wyatt, 34111 - 5 acres, no haul road Yoder, 05013 - 5 acres, no haul road (stock pond) Exhibit B 1. The two pits that will be left as stock water ponds are the Wilson (13083) and,Yoder (05013) pits. Our practice is to slope at 4 :1 or gentler, similar to the Dewell pit, which you have inspected. 2. (Top Soil) Our normal plan is to stockpile the top soil at one side 3. of the pit floor to protect it from blowing. Our experience has been 4. that a good weed cover will grow from the seeds embedded in the soil after the first rain. We are agreeable to the extra steps if wind erosion becomes a problem. All of our pits are dry operations, and we have had no severe problem with water erosion. Exhibit C 1. I have attached a copy of an aerial photo showing the Dellacroce pit. The county had Landis fly the entire county east of the Rampart Range and these aerial photos will be available shortly. I believe we can indicate on the photos the pits as they appeared this summer when the photos were taken. We do not have an individual map or survey of each pit. I believe these aerials will actually be more accurate than a map. I will send a photo for each pit as soon as they are available. 2. We have indicated in Exhibit A the pits which have a specific haul road
