The shattered limestone, in many different sizes, is <br />then run through the rock crusher and screened to obtain the <br />desired sizes. The crushed rock is then stockpiled near the <br />crusher. Front end loaders are utilized to load the stockpiled <br />limestone into haul trucks. The fines (3/4-) are also stockpiled <br />near the crusher for use as road surfacing or for backfilling of <br />the quarry areas during reclamation of the site. <br />Roads, as well as the crusher and screening operations, <br />will be sprayed with water to suppress the dust. No other air <br />contaminants are produced during the quarrying and hauling operations. <br />About twenty truck loads of limestone per day will <br />traverse 400 yards of private haul road and 3/4 of a mile of the <br />Forest Service access road (Transfer Trail) south from the quarry <br />site to the lower portion of the Oasis Creek subidvision paved <br />access road and then to Carbondale via State Highways 6 & 24 and <br />82 or to other destinations via Interstate Highway 70. <br />2. Earthmoving. <br />All earthmoving will be accomplished by D8 bulldozer <br />w/ripper and front end loaders. All topsoil will be segregated <br />and stockpiled near the crusher site for use in reclamation of <br />the site. Cuts and dills will be required to construct the haul <br />road and the working areas for the crusher and stockpiles of <br />crushed limestone, limestone fines and topsoil. See Exhibits C-2 <br />and C-4. During final reclamation the fill materials in these <br />areas will be utilized to backfill the cuts thereby achieving <br />approximate original contour. This will not apply to the quarry <br />site itself where the solid rock formation will lend itself more <br />to appropriately sized benching backfilled with the limestone fines <br />
