<br />• DIVISION OF MINERALS &. GEOLOGY BOARD PERh11T APPLICATION <br />REGULAR OPERATION (ll2) <br />PROTECT NAME: HOGUE/RIVER PIT <br />1'n t,~ 12 <br />ESHIBIT D - MINING PLAN <br />Phase li <br />.4. Maior Disturbance Areas <br />Phase II operations will expand operations to [he west from <br />Phase I operations. Approximately 1355 of this area is <br />designated wetlands. Total area of Phase II will be <br />approximately 10 acres. Phase I will incorporate portions <br />of Phase I for interior roads and portions of the pit for <br />backfill areas. The estimated life of Phase 11 is ~ years. <br />The plant site will be relocated during Phase II. After <br />the southwest corner of Phase II is mined, the plant site <br />will he relocated to this area. This will allow <br />reclamation of Phase I and move the plant further from U.B. <br />Highway 40. As in Phase I, the plant will be located in <br />• the pit area. This will help reduce the visual and noise <br />impacts of the operations. The plant may be located as <br />much as 25 feet to 35 feet below the existing surface in <br />this location. Interior access to the relocated plant site <br />will enter the project at the northeast corner. enter into <br />the pit area and angle to the southwest as shown on the <br />attached map. <br />Phase II mining operations will expand the pond as shown on <br />the attached map. Approximately 10 acres will be utilized <br />for gravel mining in Phase [I. An additional 16.200 cubic <br />yards of topsoil will be generated from Phase li. <br />This topsoil will be stockpiled along the west boundaries <br />of Phase III as shown on the "Mine Phasing" map. Topsoil <br />may also be stockpiled in the northwest corner of the Phase <br />[ pit. This topsoil will be utilized for reclamation and <br />commercial use. Reclamation areas of Phase i will be <br />topsoiled directly from topsoil stripping operations in <br />Phase II. <br />As in Phase I, the topsoil removal area will be minimized <br />by only removing topsoil in the immedia[e vicinity of <br />actual mining. Wetlands exist in the area to be mined in <br />Phase II. Therefore, to eliminate placing fill in a <br />. wetlands area, we will utilize the following method of <br />topsoil removal and gravel extraction. <br />Duckels Construction, Inc. dba Yampa Aggregates <br />41230 Routt County Rd. #129, steamboat Springs.
