GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS: <br />The site is located approximately fifteen miles north and east <br />of the City of Grand Junction, Colorado to the northwest of the <br />Public Service Power Generating Plar:t. The site is approximately <br />one mile to the northeast of the present course of the Colorado River. <br />The site is in the lower portion of a drainage known as <br />and is located to the southwest of the bottom of the drainage. The <br />site is in the Southeast Quarter of Section 28, Township 10 South, <br />Range 98 West, of the 6th Principal Meridian. This location is shown <br />on the enclosed Site Location Map. <br />Topographically, the site of the proposed waste pile occupies a <br />small basin-like feature on the side of the Coal Canyon drainage. <br />This feature is located off the "nose" of a long ridge-like feature <br />~~ with approximately north/northeast to south/southwest lineation. ~n <br />r~c_.,.,s cam,-~c- ,,;-l-o =. ;.-c cmm~_,~ i~c~+od~ the majgy~ty.._of the sA~'~''- 1i ~~ _~ ;.kP <br />~+-c.b~s r-m +.+h i-~ ~ ~~T^, +_~~~~'~ b~~~ ~ 1.1 ~ i mi I-c. n f the <br />gp~le. The vast majority of the drainage from the higher ground above <br />the pile will be carried around the pile location, either in Coal <br />Gulch to the north and west of the pile or in another small drainage <br />located to the soutY of the pile. <br />The pile itself will be made using coal processing waste from <br />the GEX Colorado Cameo Mine. The material to be used will principally <br />consist of fine particles of coal and carbonaceous rock, mixed with <br />larger particles of "gange rock". A preliminary plan and cross-section <br />of the pile has beer: forwarded to ROCKY MOUNTAIN GEOTECHNICAL. The <br />preliminary contours indicate slope angles of roughly 3.3:1 and a <br />maximum elevation for the pile of approximately 4880 mean sea level. <br />The anticipated storage of the pile is to be approximately 1.5 million <br />cubic yards. <br />
