Construction Site information: Describe structures, equipment, and physical <br />characteristics of the construction site to control spills and prevent releases to the <br />environment. Identifies petroleum/contaminate spill risks at the construction site, <br />including the locations, types, and quantities of petroleum/contamination on-site. <br />Description of Site: <br />The mine will be located at the Northeast corner of Section 24, Township 6 North, Range <br />68 West, Sixth P.M. in Larimer County, Colorado. The site is bordered on the east by <br />County Road 13 and on the north by State Highway 392. To the south the limits of <br />mining are bounded by the Cache la Poudre River and the property line on the west. <br />The permit boundary will encompass approximately 45 acres with approximately 30 <br />acres being mined. The remaining area will consist of setbacks from roads and the Cache <br />la Poudre River, utility right-of-ways, and site access roads. Various setbacks from <br />adjacent roads, fences, adjacent structures, and the Cache la Poudre River will be <br />observed as mining occurs. See Exhibit C-2, Mining Plan Map, for information on the <br />setbacks and their locations. <br />Approximately 30 acres will eventually be mined on the site. Mining will begin on the <br />south end of the site near the river and will progress in a northerly direction with no more <br />than 15 acres being exposed at any one time. The SerFer Project site will be mined over <br />the anticipated span of three and a half years. The processing plant will be located on the <br />east side of the site, and an access road will be built to allow traffic to the plant, as shown <br />in Exhibit C-2, Mining Plan Map. <br />Processing Equipment <br />Screen, crusher, log washer, sand screw, conveyors, and other miscellaneous <br />processing equipment. <br />Miscellaneous <br />An employee/storage trailer, scale house, and scale, will be located on-site. <br />Dewatering pumps and generators and watering trucks will be used as needed. <br />As mining progresses, topsoil and overburden will be stripped with excavators and haul <br />trucks to expose the aggregate product below. All soil and overburden material will be <br />used on-site for reclamation; so long-term stockpiling of these materials is not <br />anticipated. Overburden stockpiles will be located within the proposed mining cells and <br />placed so that they do not impede potential floodwaters. <br />Fines produced by the onsite processing facilities will be temporarily stored in settling <br />ponds located on the southeast end of the site. The fines will be allowed to settle from <br />the wash water and then allowed to partially dry to facilitate removal from the temporary <br />settling ponds. The fines will then be mixed with overburden material and placed in <br />areas of designated backfill or into the reclaimed section.
