truck traffic is not expected to change from present levels as a result of permitting of the <br />expanded area, but rather from fluctuations in market demand as presently occurs. The <br />amended Bromley Lakes operations are expected to operate at the same volume as the <br />currently permitted facility; however, the total combined life of mining will be increased <br />by several years by the additional reserves represented by the additional acreage <br />requested by this permit amendment. Off-site haul routes, likewise, will remain the same. <br />Concrete batching will continue to be done in proximity to the site at an adjacent <br />property owned by Ready Mixed. It is anticipated that the preferred disposition of the <br />processed sand and gravel will be for concrete production by Ready Mixed both at the <br />adjacent site just outside the DRMS permit boundary and at Ready Mixed's downtown <br />Denver batch plant. Approximately 50 percent of the reserves will be sold locally as sand <br />and gravel. The other 50 percent will be used for concrete batching at one of the two <br />referenced concrete batch plants. Up to 50 percent of the concrete batching consumption <br />will be done at the batch plant site adjacent to the permit site. Sand and gravel that is <br />hauled off-site will be hauled from the site north (local deliveries only) and south on <br />County road No. 31 (Brighton Road) to Brighton and other locations. Metro Denver <br />bound trucks will generally head South on County Road 31 to connect to U.S. 85 and <br />other freeways. <br />Reclamation grading and seeding will occur concurrently and follow the mining <br />operation. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan; provides the details of the proposed site <br />reclamation which, in general, will consist of regrading and seeding mined slopes, <br />armoring upper regraded slopes for wave resistance within water storage and open lake <br />areas, and backfilling to new graded elevations for any area that previous to mining was <br />higher than 100-year floodplain elevations. Slurry wall construction for the water storage <br />areas is currently planned as a collaborative effort between Ready Mixed and the City of <br />Brighton and may be procured as design-bid-build, or as design-build depending upon <br />ongoing negotiations between Ready Mixed and Brighton. It is currently planned that <br />slurry wall construction will occur after mining is completed. The plant site will be ' <br />reclaimed as an open lake similarly as the water storage areas, but without a perimeter <br />slurry wall. <br />26
