Great Western Railway of Colorado's railroad right of way. The railroad tracks where the conveyor <br />will cross are currently not being used by Great Western Railway of Colorado; therefore, Lafarge <br />has an agreement with Great Western Railway of Colorado to have an at -grade crossing for the <br />conveyor as well as for trucks. The conveyor bridge will be composed of steel; the footings are <br />anchored in concrete. Details for the conveyor bridge can be found on Exhibit C. Upon completion <br />of mining operations, the conveyors will be removed and all areas affected by the conveyors will be <br />revegetated. <br />All existing on -site roads are shown on Exhibit C, Pre - Mining Plan. Any existing gravel access <br />roads shared with ongoing oil and gas production on the perimeter of the mining cell will remain in <br />place once mining and reclamation are complete. The roads will be maintained by the operator to <br />provide required access to the various activities on the property. Existing roads are typically 12' to <br />15' wide, gravel access lanes. If needed, roads will be relocated to accommodate mining activities. <br />Relocated access lanes will be constructed with 6" of native sand and gravel from the floor of the <br />mine and remain in place once mining and reclamation are complete. <br />The main vehicular access to the site will be off of F Street. The only traffic that will use this <br />access will be up to employees who will run the equipment. Generally there will be about four <br />employees working on the site, but there is the potential for up to 10 employees on the site. A small <br />parking lot area is proposed in the southeast corner of the site to accommodate employee vehicles. <br />Mine Schedule <br />The Iverson Mine operation will process up to approximately 600,000 tons of aggregate per year. <br />At this rate, Lafarge anticipates mining and reclaiming the site in approximately four to five years. <br />However, the rate of mining and overall life of the mine is dependent upon demand and market <br />conditions. <br />Equipment <br />The following equipment and facilities may be utilized at the Iverson Mine site: <br />Loaders (2) <br />Diesel Powered Generator Set as needed (2) <br />Dozer (2) <br />Scrapers (2) <br />Grader (1) <br />Trackhoe (1) <br />Water Truck (1) <br />Pumps as needed (2) <br />Conveyors and Feeders <br />Portable Toilet (2) <br />Fuel Station (10,000 gallon diesel fuel tank) <br />Iverson Mine <br />DRMS 112 Reclamation Permit Application <br />Page D4 of D4 <br />
