Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />To establish a hydraulically seated condition for planned water storage reservoirs, it may <br />be appropriate to recover shale materials from the pit floor during the reclamation <br />process. The operation may utilize shale and other native materials in the construction <br />of either a clay liner or slurry walls. <br />Phasing Plan <br />The applicant proposes to mine the site in two primary phases, each associated with one <br />or more stages corresponding to 1+/- year of production. The phasing and mining within <br />each phase generally involves removing construction materials in the north to south <br />sequence across the site. Table D-1, below, reflects the phasing plan given an <br />estimated market for 2,000,000 tons per year. <br />Table D-1: Mining Phases <br />Phase Mined <br />Acreage Estimated <br />Duration of <br />Mining (years) Direction of <br />Mining <br />1 199 Year 1 - 9 North to South <br />2 238 Year 10 - 15+ North to South <br />TOTALS 437 15+ years <br />The phases depicted on Exhibit C are used to indicate the direction and sequence of <br />mining. As indicated previously, Lafarge's timeline, presented in Table D-1, is based on <br />current demand. There is a possibility that demand may increase or decrease in the <br />future and production will need to be altered accordingly. Annual production and areas <br />of disturbance will be identified in the Annual Report. If production is altered significantly <br />beyond what is presented in Table C-1, a technical revision to the Permit will be filed. <br />Access <br />Lafarge will construct a new roadway beginning at Old Pueblo Road approximately '/< <br />mile east of the I-25 interchange (Exit 122). The roadway will travel south on the west <br />side of the property and parallel the railroad tracks towards the plant site area. From the <br />plant site, the internal access road will travel south and bisect the property into an east <br />and west side. The access road will be approximately 30 feet wide. <br />Sundance Sand and Gravel Resource uoui~ <br />Lafarge West, Inc. 9 September 2006 <br />
