OPERATIONS <br />See Exhibit C. Operations will be conducted during daylight hours, generally <br />Monday through Friday, with some extended hours and weekend work as needed <br />for specific projects. <br />TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION <br />Materials mined and processed at Cedar Point will be processed on site and <br />then transported by truck to plants or construction sites for use. Material transported <br />will use SH-160, in accordance with existing highway access permit, and the <br />proposed expansion is not expected to increase traffic onto state highways. <br />TRUCKS <br />A variety of trucks will be used to haul materials from the Pit, including single dump <br />trucks, semi-dump trucks, and trucks with pups. Most commonly used will be dump <br />trucks with pups. Average haul for all vehicles will be 22 tons per vehicle. All trucks <br />are properly permitted for highway use and meet weight requirements for county <br />and state highways. All drivers have CDL (Commercial Drivers License) if required for <br />the vehicle being operated. <br />DUST CONTROL DURING HAULS <br />Dust control practices to be used in the pit, including the access road, will be based <br />on pit traffic, and will include traffic control, water spraying (see Exhibit G), and use <br />of dust control agents such as magnesium chloride brine (magwater) or ligneous <br />sulfide, as needed. When hauling material less than 1/4-inch, haul trucks will be <br />controlled to prevent dust, including Carping (chemically or physically) or wetting of <br />material in accordance with state and local requirements. If necessary, hauling will <br />be curtailed during extreme high wind conditions. <br />BLASTING AND NOISE CONTROL <br />Actions will reduce the impact of noise caused by the mine and associated <br />activities. <br />BLASTING There will be no blasting done on site. <br />NOISE POTENTIAL <br />Due to the location of the site, east of Mud Creek and above the valley floor <br />but oriented away from the highway and nearby residences and commercial <br />activities, little if any problem with noise is expected, as discussed above, and <br />noise reduction is taken into account in the overall design and selection of <br />stockpile and plant locations, direction of working, and other noise control <br />Exhibits for 112(c) AM-02 Application - M-1994-108-2010- Page 64
