planned to be conducted in phases. (Please see the attached Exhibit "C"Mining Plan <br />f ' MaP) <br />18. Proposed hours of operation: <br />The proposed hours of operation are from Sunrise to Sunset, Monday through Saturday, <br />year round. The operation will likely be closed for all major holidays. However, in <br />emergencies, such as floods or fire fighting, the operation may need to be open outside <br />normally scheduled business hours. <br />19. Estimated life of the operation: <br />The estimated life of the Operation is difficult to predict. However, if the market demand <br />for the product is in the range of 750,000 tons per year over the life of the mine, the mine <br />could be expected to be in operation for up to 25 years. This estimate may vary due to <br />market demand and therefore the Operation could run longer. <br />20. The number of operational employees: <br />The Main shift employees will be between 3 to 10 people depending upon the time of <br />year, the number of orders and the production schedule that will be needed to meet <br />market demand. <br />21. Mine site access: <br />The mine site will contain three points of egress and ingress. The Blue Grass Gravel Pit <br />West Pit will connect to 39~' Lane, which then intersects with State Highway 96 East (US <br />50). A Pueblo County access permit and a Colorado Department of Transportation <br />(CDOT) access permit will be obtained prior to commercial use for product hauling. The <br />Bluegrass Gravel Pit East Pit connects to State Highway 96 East (LJS50) from two points <br />along the northern permit boundary for egress and ingress. Similar permits will be <br />obtained for these access points. <br />22. Number of truck trips per day: <br />The estimated number of product truck trips per day will average 240. This number <br />includes sod deliveries, since the site is also a sod farm, construction aggregate and <br />concrete and/or asphalt transport. <br />
