<br />Right, Change of Water Rights and Approval of Plan for Augmentation will be obtained <br />from the District Water Court for the mining activities. In the unlikely event that the <br />application is not accepted prior to beginning grading activities required as part of the <br />reclamation efforts, sufficient overburden will be saved to grade the excavation area to an <br />elevation of at least 2 feet above the seasonal high ground water elevation. <br />HAUL ROAD -The primary roads and access serving the site are well maintained and are <br />in good repair. Access to the site is gained from U.S. Highway 50. Given the maximum <br />production of the extraction process coupled with available trucks and scrapers it is <br />estimated that a peak of 450 loads per day will utilize the haul route during maximum <br />production periods. Because of the location of the site in respect to the highway project, <br />haul trucks and/or scrapers will not need to utilize the highway's existing paved lanes or <br />any other public roadways to deliver the material. Additionally, flaggers and other traffic <br />control devices will be utilized throughout the life of the project. <br />Two types of trucks will be used; 30 yard dump (rock) trucks with a capacity of 40 tons and <br />25 ton capacity belly dump trucks. Scrapers have a capacity of 16 to 1 S cubic yards. <br />In order to control dust on the haul routes and within the extraction area, water will be <br />used. Dust control measures will be conducted on an a continual basis. The water source <br />will be that which is also used for highway construction purposes and will hauled to the site. <br />OTHER USES - In addition to the above listed activities the following are also ancillary to <br />the extraction activities: <br />^ Parking for workers <br />^ Portable office and lab <br />^ Equipment storage and maintenance <br />^ Portable toilets <br />There will be no permanent storage of oil, fuel or hazardous material within the permit <br />boundary. Since the storage of these products is temporary, earthen containment dikes <br />will be constructed around the containers. Dikes will constructed in a fashion to contain <br />at least 110 percent of the volume of the largest storage vessel within the containment <br />area. <br />
