MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D (CONT) <br />west and north since they will be hidden behind the hill that is <br />left was mining progresses. <br />Mining equipment may include but is not limited to, front-end <br />loaders, scrapers, motor graders, bulldozers, track-hoes, drills, <br />tractor trailers, tandem-axle end dumps and articulated haul <br />trucks, and water trucks; for dust control. Processing and sup- <br />porting equipment to be found on site may include, but is not <br />limited to screening plants, wet and .dry; portable crushers, porta- <br />ble conveyors, a concrete batch plant and a portable asphalt batch <br />plant. A storage/maintenance building, constructed of enameled <br />steel siding of colors complementary to the surroundings will be <br />constructed on the property. This building will be utilized for <br />storing mobile equipment used at the mine, performing maintenance <br />work on the equipment and will include a mine office. A scale and <br />scale house will also be installed once the floor of the mine <br />reached it final level. A request for installation of a temporary <br />building will be part of the Grand County Special Use Permit. The <br />building will be removed when mining is complete or if a deal can <br />be made with the landowners it will be left for their use. <br />MINING PLA1V <br />The Cottonwood Quarry will be a dry mine, except for the water <br />used to produce washed gravel products. The material will be mined <br />using front-end loaders, dozers and haul trucks once blasting has <br />loosened the rock. A Blasting Plan was prepared by Gorden Revey of <br />Revey and Associates. The entire plan including Geotechnical <br />stability information is part of the Geotechnical Exhibit of this <br />submittal starting on page 51. Screening, crushing, washing and <br />stockpiling will occur on site when the mine is in full operation. <br />Dewatering of the pit will not be needed. Production from the <br />Cottonwood Quarry will begin in 2004 and continue for 80 to 120 <br />years, depending on demand for the products in the market area. <br />This mine will produce specification aggregates, washed rock, <br />rip-rap, ballast, sand and crusher fines et al. Most all of this <br />material will be sold but it is estimated that approximately 38 of <br />the total rock removed will be crusher fines for which there is no <br />market. These fines will be used during reclamation to make the <br />root zone over the rock floor or flat benches created when mining <br />reaches the final floor elevation. <br />initially a road will be built from County Road 55 in the <br />southwest part of the site along the hillside to the level area <br />where mining will start. The road may be build across the southern <br />side to have the appropriate grade up to where mining will begin. <br />7 <br />
