<br />actual quarry area, as depicted on Exhibit E-Map. There is a small cabin near the quarry <br />site which will be utilized as an office. Perdue intends to erect a metal building near the <br />office to be used as a mechanic's shop, however, that building has not yet been erected on <br />a foundation. The building will be used [o repair private vehicles and equipment as <br />needed, and will NOT be used in the quarry operation. Because use of the building will <br />not be associated with the quarry operation, i[ therefore will be located outside the permit <br />boundary, as depicted on Exhibit E-Map. There will be no processing facilities or <br />underground openings at the affected area. <br />f) There will be no significant disturbances to the land other than those described in <br />paragraph b) above. <br />g) The existing Stone Canyon Road is approximately 60 feet wide. The drive providing <br />access to the quarry operation is approximately 14 feet wide. It is not anticipated that any <br />improvements will be necessary to existing roads or that any construction of new roads <br />will be required. <br />h) No water will be used in conjunction with the operation. <br />[t is not anticipated that groundwater will be encountered or that any surface water will be <br />intercepted or disturbed. <br />j) Because there are no water resources on the property and because it is not anticipated that <br />any groundwater will be encountered or any surface water intercepted or disturbed, there <br />should be no injury to any existing water rights. <br />k) It is not anticipated that any refuse, acid or toxic producing materials will be exposed <br />during mining since the land has never been used for any other purpose. However, <br />should any such substances be encountered, they will be handled and disposed of in <br />accordance with applicable Colorado laws and regulations. <br />I) By using only existing roads and mining only a small portion of the affected area at a time <br />and reclaiming said areas upon completion of mining while opening another adjacent <br />small area to be quamed, Perdue expects that there will be no disturbance to the <br />hydrologic balance and no off-site damage. Given that the proposed future use of the <br />land is rangeland, the steps outlined in the reclamation plan should be consistent with <br />such use. <br />m) The only on-site processing of the deposit will be stacking quarried stone on pallets for <br />shipment. No chemicals will be used. The process area will be located immediately <br />adjacent to the strip being quarried on [he opposite side from the stockpiled soil. <br />n) The primary commodity to be mined is flagstone for decorative/landscaping use. There <br />are no secondary commodities to be mined extracted. <br />
