e) Timetable <br />The various stages of the operation are as follows, and are described in further detail below: <br />1. Pre - development <br />2. Development <br />3. Operations <br />4. Reclamation <br />1. Pre - development <br />Pre - development activities include securing all necessary permits and completing exploration of <br />the deposit to determine the true quantity and quality of the gravel reserve. <br />Weld County regulations will require a site specific Development Review Plan and Use by Special <br />Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility, including Open Pit Gravel Mining in <br />the A (Agricultural) Zone District for the following described real estate being parcel. <br />In addition to the Weld County Permits and Approvals, a State of Colorado Reclamation Permit will <br />be required for the extraction of Construction Materials from the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board. <br />2. Development <br />Development activities will include pre - stripping of the gravel zone, processing site construction <br />and establishment of crushed and screened material stockpiles. <br />Pre - stripping activities will provide material for construction of a 30 foot wide access road from <br />Weld County Road 99 into the processing area as well as a 24 foot wide, 5% grade haul road from <br />the processing area into the mining zone. The processing area will contain a crusher, screening <br />and staking machine or machines, a truck scale and an office trailer for a site attendant. A 3 wire <br />barb wire fence will be erected for cattle and wild life protection. <br />A water quality feature and diversion swales and berms will also be established. <br />3. Operations <br />Operations consist of normal stripping and mining of the gravel deposit and reclamation of the <br />spoil overburden that has been placed in the final deposit zone. <br />Normally, the seasonal stripping and mining operation would be scheduled for approximately <br />three summer months. The actual schedule would be dictated by material sales. For the purpose <br />of this discussion, 100,000 tons of within - specification material sales shall be used to dictate <br />duration of operations throughout the summer months. <br />3 <br />
