raw material (sandstone) to the mill size ( - 8") and the conveyors will put <br />it into stockpiles for trucking to operator's sand processing plan[ at <br />Lap~~rte, Colorado, The primary crusher and conveyors are shown on Exhibit E <br />in RED. No underground mining will 6e conducted on the site. <br />6. An ~~pen pit excavation with approximate dimensions of 200' x 2000' is shown <br />on Exhibit E. The sandstone material will be drilled and blasted. Mining <br />~oi1:L occur by use of vertical faces. The side walls will be benched or <br />slo~~ed as needed or necessary for safety precautions and/or reclamation. <br />7. An existing ranch trail will be used to provide access to the site. The <br />ranch [rail is approximately 12' wide and 5,000' in length to the intersec- <br />tion of the Northern Colorado Rod and Gun Club access road. (Area equals <br />1.4 acres.) No grade improvements will be made. Ease course material will <br />be ::p read to provide an all weather surface. <br />8. Water is not available on the property. Water will not be necessary in the <br />conducting of mining other than as may be required for dust suppression. <br />9. Operator does not anticipate or reasonably expect to intercept or disturb <br />any groundwater or surface water. The mine site itself is just below tl,e <br />cre~:t of a relatively steep hillside with no evidence of any water anywhere <br />in the general vicinity. It is not likely that a heavy rainfall will wash <br />sediment from the mine site. There will be no runoff. <br />10. It is not reasonably likely that under any circwnstances, operator would in- <br />terfere with groundwater or surface water or underground aquifers. The <br />depth of the usable deposits of approximately SO' is well above any ground <br />water or aquifers. Operator did not come into contact with any ground wa- <br />ter or aquifers when conducting exploration on the property through core <br />drilling. This exploration was under permit from the State of Colorado. <br />11. See Item No. 5 above. In addition, operator will not be using any chemicals <br />at the mining site. This mining operation will involve the extraction of a <br />naturally occurring sandstone and limited crushing to ( - 8") witl, extensive <br />off-site processing at operator's Laporte sandplant. No tailing ponds, <br />heaps, or vats are part of the mining plan. <br />12. Operator is required to obtain the following permits: <br />A. Limited Impact Mining Permit (110(2)). <br />B. Application for Zoning Action - Larimer County. <br />C. Air Pollution Emission Permit - Colorado Department of Health. <br />1. Jaw crusher <br />2. Fugitive dust <br />3-2 <br />
