<br />It is extremely unlikely that any toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered during the <br />• mining operation since the total depth of excavation (20~ is shallow and tests down to this depth <br />show [hat the material is alluvial in nature. However, in the event that such materials are encoun- <br />tered, they will be covered with topsoil from the stockpiles [o the same depths outlined in the recla- <br />ma[ion plan and no more mining will occur in this area. <br />The operator commits to clearly marking the permit boundary at all comers. <br />2. Mine Facilities <br />There will be no permanent mine facilities on site. There will be no office of any kind, no lighting, <br />no fuel storage area, no cement plants, no asphalt plants, no truck scale or power poles. Crushing <br />and screening equipment will be portable in nature and will be moved off-site once mining is com- <br />pleted. This equipment will consist of a hopper, crashing unit, small feed conveyor, screen plant <br />and two slacker conveyors. The crusher and screen plant will have its own generator and diesel tank <br />to supply it. The tank size is estimated to be 3000 gallons and will have its own containment equal <br />• or greater than the tank size. <br />The site will use all existing roads to haul the product to its final destination. It is planned that the <br />material will be used to re-surface existing roads and provide new road base for any new roads <br />within an economic distance to the site. <br />3. Water Information. Rights and Augmentation <br />Since the mine will encounter water in the mining operation below 3-4 feet of excavation, and a <br />permanent lake will be left as part of the reclamation plan, it is demonstrated in this section that <br />there are sufficient water rights/augmentation for [his operation. Water for dust control and materi- <br />als handling will come from the same water right, which is supplied to the site through the irrigation <br />ditch located immediately north of the access road, at the south end of the field. <br />u <br />Piceance Pi[ 7/01 1$ <br />
