17.) Affected acres may be a total of +/- 93.25 acres, however mining and reclamation <br />will be carried out in stages no larger than 46 Acres. Please see attached mining map. <br />18.) Proposed hours of operation are from Sunrise to Sunset Monday- Saturday every <br />week, year round. <br />19.) Estimated life of operation is difficult to forecast, however we believe this mine will <br />have an economic Life of 20 to 40 years depending on the local market conditions. <br />20.) Main shift employees will be between 3 to 10 people depending upon the time of the <br />year and the number of orders that are to be filled. <br />21.) The proposed haul route would be out of the mine site on Pickney Road CR 343 <br />then to Thacker Road to Interstate 25. the distance is approximately six (6) miles. A <br />map of haul route is provided. <br />22.) The number of vehicle trips per day would be on average of 16 to 20. A trip is <br />defined in this application follows : "A vehicle leaving the pit and then returning counts <br />as two trips. Thus if the operator has 4 trucks hauling making 2 round trips per day that <br />would be 8 loads out and 8 return trips to be loaded. The total trips would then be 16." <br />23.) Hours of hauling would depend upon the time of the year, however it would <br />normally start around 6:00 A.M. and run to approximately 6:00 P.M. during operation. <br />24.) Dust control will be accomplished with water trucks on the haul road and the <br />processing plant site. <br />25.) Proof of Water: <br />a. Bottled water will be brought in for drinking water. <br />b. Water for the use of dust control will be purchased water form an approved <br />source such as the Colorado City Metropolitan District or some other legal <br />purveyor. <br />26.) Portable - temporary toilet will be provided for the employees use. <br />The proposed mine will be reclaimed to be harmonious with the environment as it is today. The <br />applicant has an existing 110c Reclamation Permit with the State of Colorado, thru the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board (MLRB) Permit, enforced by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br />This request is to add additional acreage to the existing Permit Area. The applicant is applying for a <br />conversation from an 110c to an 112c permit with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br />Mining has been ongoing on this property since 1967 and was formally permitted in 1977 when the <br />"Reclamation ACT' was passed into law in the State of Colorado. This Pit is fully permitted by all <br />the other required agencies. This active commercial operation needs to expand its land area. In <br />accordance with MLRB Reclamation requirements, the operator will have to increase the <br />Reclamation Financial Warranty with the State of Colorado to insure reclamation will be carried <br />out. <br />Since , <br />Joe Gaglia o <br />Consultant <br />cc: file
