Mining Piati continued page #2
Overburden deposits are very thin - sometimes urrly one foot
thick. The operator does not anticipate large overburden piles.
Due to tkre scattered nature of the gravel depuyits it is
impossibe to map future overburden and topsoil locations. Small
overburden and topsoil piles will be located near the gravel
excavations and out of the way of the mining operation and
drainage charrrrels.
Moffat County will develop at least twu local access roads
from the existing access road to the Gravel Mining Zone as shown
on Exhibit C-2. The exact location of these roads have noC been
determined.

A ROW Grant was issued to Moffat Courtty by the Little Snake
Resource Area on November 18, 1999. (Serial Number COC62780 see
Exhibit N-2) A State Highway Access Permit Application was
presented to the Colorado Department of Transportation on January
28, 2000, for a change in access use to accuuunodate Moffat
County's gravel mine operation. (See Exhibit N-3) A C-DOT
approval is pending and expected.
Surface ntitritrg will occur in twu ways. For road-base
production we will use 5 yard front-end loaders to excavate along
a vertical face, and to transport the mined material to the
crushing and screening plant. This processed material will be
stockpiled by a conveyor in the permitted area for' future use.
The second mining method will be for "pit-run" materials which
may consist of sand, gravel or rock to be loaded into trucks and
transported off-site to construction sites in the county road
system as needed. In all cases, during periods of inactivity, tkre
vertical face will be sloped back for safety reasons.
There will be no acid forming or toxic producing materials
to address. There will be no washing or chemical processing
plants on tkre site. The operatiotr will trot impact the hydrologic
balance or create off-site damage. The disturbed areas will be
re-vegetated accordiny to the reclamation plan (Exhibit E) for
the future use of rangeland.
