<br />} The proposed mining operation will be concerned with the extraction of sand a¢d <br />gravel and the subsequent processing of it into asphalt materials and aggregate <br />^ base courses. <br />The affected area will irrwlve a portion of a previously mined area (Permit <br />t~hnnber 80-T) and will require appraarimately 9.5 scree including access roads, <br />plant, stockpile sites and an area for gravel extraction. <br />Operatiorn9 are scheduled to canoence mid March 1989 acid will probably caazt{rnio <br />1 thrcogi~ June of 1989. The time schecfiile Sa directly related to a contract that <br />J is geld betweer- the Colorarb Department of Higka2ys and the applicant. Activity <br />at this site beyond this time frame would be intermittent std dependent upon a <br />specific need, such as a current situation, and would probably last a similar <br />duration. <br />Ae mentiaa~ed, this site was previously mired by various concerns, including the <br />1 Colorado Department of Highways, order Permit No. 80-7 with the Mined Lard <br />Reclamation Divisicn. During the operations of the previous mining efforts, <br />the topsoil was stripped off most of the area that is irm~lved in this permit <br />applicatioa~. There are mi*+{~r amounts of topsoil on the very perimeter of the <br />affected area. It is believed, however, that there is probably an adequate <br />amount of topsoil on the extreme northeast portion of the pit to adequately <br />l provide 6" to 12" of topsoil to the pit banks. This topsoil will be salvaJed <br />)i and stored at the east end of the permitted areas as indicated in <br />Exhibit E -Mining Plan Map. <br />This soil will most probably be utilized Smnedistely upon co~q~letion of the <br />mining operation in the reclamation of the affected areas, specifically to the <br />pit banks above water line. Historically, the depth of the gravel deposit at <br />I this site hoe been 26' to 27'. <br />It is the intent of the applicant to commence operations oat the southwest <br />' boundary of the site. This area is rww order water. The entire depth of deposit <br />was not extracted during the previous operation; therefore, there is a <br />substantial amount of gravel available dust inside the current edge of the lake. <br />The lake will be dewatered to a point eo that a crusher plant cant be set up in <br />the area sktocat in Exhibit E. Extractioar will ooaooence at the southwest section <br />and will psroceed in a northeast direction. <br />In addition to the crusher plant, am asphalt plant will be situated oar the site <br />for production of hot-mimed asphalt. <br />-6- <br />
