• Normal hours of operation are limited to between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM. <br />• Peak production is estimated not to exceed 200,000 tons per year. <br />• Hauling of the resource will occur intermittently, year round. <br />By using the above listed assumptions the following maximum traffic projections can be made: <br />1. 200 peak daily trips <br />2. 12 peak loads or 24 peak hourly trips <br />PETROLEUM STORAGE- There will be no permanent storage of fuel on the site. However, a 10,000 <br />gallon portable diesel fuel tank will be located near the gravel crushing unit when it is present. All fuel will <br />be stored in above ground steel tanks and will have lined containment dikes to prevent any discharges of <br />fuel from leaving the site or percolating into the ground. Dikes are to be constructed in a fashion to <br />contain at least 110 percent of the volume of the largest fuel storage vessel within the containment area. <br />A policy for the handling and disposal of hazardous waste will be established for the operation. A key <br />element of the policy will include annual training for all workers at the facility for spill containment and <br />controls in the event that a spill should occur. Another component of the policy includes notification of <br />appropriate regulatory agencies when a release of more than 25 gallons of a petroleum product occurs. A <br />reportable spill of any toxic or hazardous substance (including spill of petroleum products) within the <br />permit area are reportable to any Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the <br />Environment, the national Response Center, the Colorado Emergency Planning Commission, a local <br />Emergency Planning Commission, a local Emergency Planning Committee, or the Sate Oil Inspector. <br />The operator shall notify the Office of a reportable spill within the permit area using the same timeframe <br />required by the permit, license, notice, Act, Rule or Regulation governing the reporting of the spill to the <br />appropriate agency. Notice of a reportable spill shall be Faxed to: Minerals Program Supervisor, Division <br />of Minerals and Geology, FAX (303) 832-8108. The FAX shall include atoll-back number of a <br />responsible company official for DMG staff to use as a contact. <br />LIFE OF MINING AREA -Several factors affect the total life of most sand and gravel operations. Most <br />notable is the surrounding communities' future aggregate needs. Other factors include: <br />^ Local, State, and Federal Economic Trends <br />^ Future Local Growth Trends <br />^ Major Public and Private Improvement Projects - <br />Rail and Airport Improvements <br />School Buildings <br />Governmental Buildings <br />^ Major Commercial Buildings <br />Based on the information presented herein, in conjunction with past aggregated needs in the area, it is <br />forecasted that the gravel will be depleted in about 1 D years. It should be pointed out that forecasts are <br />based on current and past information. Inherent with any forecast is a degree of uncertainty. A 10 year <br />life span is a relatively short period of time for a sand and gravel operation such as exists at the 20 Road <br />Gravel Pit. <br />
