slope and moved to the process areas. Mining will be done with dozers, front end <br />loaders and tracked excavators. Extracted aggregate material may be directly loaded <br />to trucks fir offsite and/or moved for processing, to a working stockpile in the <br />operations areas. <br />Any and all topsoil found existing at the site will be stripped and stockpiled nearby <br />for use in concurrent site reclamation. No topsoil will be stripped until necessary to <br />expose the: aggregate. The west and north permit boundaries will be 50 feet from the <br />small nornnally dry drainages and they will not be disturbed. <br />Dependin{; on local needs and market conditions, mining and processing for road <br />base, fill material and asphalt pavement may take from 5 to 15 years or longer. <br />Limited screening and crushing, asphalt production and material stockpiling <br />operations, may be temporally located at the site from time to time. <br />The access road will have sufficient drainage and berms to allow for storm runoff and <br />sediment retention. Topsoil stockpiles to be left for more than 1 growing season will <br />be seeded with the USDA recommended seed mix via broadcast method for <br />stabilizati~~n. Vehicle, haul truck and equipment speeds will be 15mph or lesson the <br />access road. The access road and gate will remain for the landowners and State of <br />Colorado use after mining and reclamation activities at the site are completed and will <br />require no~ reclamation. <br />Site Operations <br />It is anticipated that gravel extraction and material processing activities will <br />commence uf-on completion of the entire permitting process, which is anticipated <br />sometime in early June 2008. Grading activities on the hillside may commence at the <br />landowners direction for road improvement. Access construction will commence when <br />the State Land Board R.O.W. Lease final. <br />Hours; of operations at the site would be M-F during daylight hours or at the <br />direction of a specific public works Site/Project Engineer. All processing equipment for <br />crushing ancU'or asphalt production for this project will be mobile and self contained <br />equipment. Products to be extracted and processed by the proposed operation include: <br />crushed rock for base grade, general backfill and material for asphalt additives. Asphalt <br />production equipment will be part of the activities at the site. <br />An average daily workforce of 3-4 personnel would be onsite to excavate material <br />and operate tlhe various types of processing equipment. Sanitary facilities will be <br />available onsite. A mobile truck scale and a temporary fuel storage facility may be part of <br />an equipment mobilization to the site and both would be located at the gate area of the <br />site. All processing equipment for sand and gravel and asphalt production has or will <br />have current air permits as required by the State of Colorado. These permits apply to each <br />equipment type to be moved onto and operated at the site. <br />
