The mining operation will be <br />started as soon as all local and state permits have been obtained. The <br />life of the mine is predicted to be ten years. <br />Mining will start in the existing disturbance, which will be taken down <br />another four to five feet. Mining will then continue to the South, <br />leaving a undisturbed barrier on the West side of pit between the pit <br />and the Teller County Road. The removal of topsoil will take place on <br />an as need to basis as the excavation moves to the South. Removal of <br />top soil will vary from two inches to eight inches and will be placed in <br />the configuration of a berm as a visual barrier on the West side of the <br />pit near the entrance. <br />The material at the site has virtually no overburden. The predicted <br />mining depth is thirty feet to forty feet. <br />The mining operation will be conducted by the county road crews on a <br />need basis with a minimal amount of stockpiling to be done. The <br />equipment to be used in the operation will consist of a bulldozer to <br />scrape and pile the material, a front-end loader to load dump trucks so <br />that material may be transported to use sites. There may be an <br />occasional need to screen and stockpile material. On these occasions, <br />stockpiles will be located as shown on the map or located in previously <br />mined areas. <br />The area disturbed by mining will be a irregular shaped tract, <br />containing approximately nine and eight-tenths acres. Approximate <br />dimensions for the site are as follows; <br />Southwesterly - - 700 feet, <br />Northwesterly - - 975 feet, <br />Northeasterly - - 180 feet, <br />Southeasterly - - 1150 feet. <br />The subject parcel adjoins Teller County Road #86 (AKA Phantom Canyon <br />Road) and access is gained from said road. No new construction of roads <br />will be necessary. The reason for the project is to improve existing <br />county roads. <br />From all preliminary investigations, there are no indications that <br />ground water will be encountered throughout the entire project. <br />,~ ~.~.. <br />
