The permits are for mine and reclamation operations, including ancillary features <br />such as a conveyor, crusher, and haul road in a 385 acre impact zone, within a 1,911 acre <br />permit boundary. The BOCC approval included a conveyor as the primary haul method <br />from the Dowe Flats quarry south to Ute Highway (Colorado Highway 66) continuing to <br />the existing cement plant. The final design of the conveyor overpass and associated <br />landscaping north of Ute Highway are subject to review by the Land Use Department and <br />approval by the BOCC. <br />Existing Haul Road Structures <br />Where the conveyor crosses Ute Highway, it will be adjacent to the quany entrance mad <br />(haul road), as requved by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The <br />approved Special Use permit also includes landscaped berms to screen haul road traffic and <br />noise from adjacent property owners (refer to Figure 1). These requvements of the Special <br />Use Permit must be integrated with conveyor and haul road engineering and regulatory <br />constraints, which will require that some existing structures be demolished on <br />Southdown's property on the north side of Ute Highway. These structures, described in <br />Table 1., include a single family residence, shed/garage, shed/chicken house, barn and <br />silo. <br />Design, engineering and environmental wnstraints on the location and design of the <br />conveyor and haul road corridor include: <br />1. conveyor design <br />2. haul mad design <br />3. berm design <br />4. landscape design <br />5.
