INTRODUCTION <br />The proposed Simmons Pit is located approximately 2 miles west of Mancos in Montezuma <br />County, Colorado. The site is bordered on the south by HWY 160; and agricultural land on the <br />East, North and West. The site is currently used as irrigated pasture as shown on Map C-1. All <br />maps are located in Appendix D. The surrounding landowners are shown on Map C-1 and the <br />mailing addresses of those landowners are listed in Exhibit R. <br />Topography of the site slopes gently down toward the west and is perched on an alluvial terrace. <br />Within the permit area, there will be 47.93 acres that are not disturbed and 46.07 acres that will <br />be disturbed. The resulting permit area will be 94.00 acres. The significant amount of <br />undisturbed land is used to have the permit area of the already approved County High Impact <br />Permit and the DRMS Permit equal. <br />The permittee for this site is Oldcastle SW Group, Inc., dba Four Corners Materials. Throughout <br />this application, the name has been shortened to Four Corners Materials or FCM. <br />The site will be reclaimed to a land use of irrigated pasture and rangeland. The topography of the <br />reclaimed land is shown on Map F. <br />The estimated production for the site is 120,000 tons per year. The gravel thickness is <br />approximately 8-20 feet and overburden is expected to vary between 0-14 feet. <br />Simmons Pit, March 2009 i-1
