M-2008-078 - GP Ranches, LLC - West Farm Pit - 112 (c) Application Adequacy Review 01 Response March 17, 2009 -8- permit boundary, but due to concerns that the property owners to the south of the proposed operation had, it was moved north to a new location away from those property owners, and through the proposed permit boundary. An acceptable mining setback has been followed adjacent to this corridor in the event that rail spurs are constructed within it. This rail corridor is currently in the planning stages for multiple, non gravel product uses. GP has been approached by a local power company, a local manufacturer, and a wind energy company in the area, to place rail spurs in this corridor for their use in staging and storing their coal cars, manufacturing materials cars, and wind energy equipment cars. The rail spurs would be permanent if they are constructed. If future market conditions warrant shipping gravel products via rail beyond the local market, GP may in the future revise their permit to include a rail load out facility within the permit boundary, and utilize one of the spurs for these deliveries. GP appreciates your consideration of this information in response to your questions and requests, and looks forward to your response. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
