Note that the sediment pond and processing operations are contained within the pit boundaries <br />and have been included in the mined areas described in the table. The processing facilities will <br />move around in each pit as it is mined <br />As topsoil and overburden from a new mining area will be used to reclaim the previous area, <br />earthmoving efforts will be reduced as well as the maximum area to be reclaimed. Any fines <br />from the crushing and screening operations will also be salvaged and used in the reclamation. A <br />table of expected mining lives for each Pit is included in Table D -3. The life of each Pit is based <br />on the anticipated annual average of 100,000 tons per year sold from Pit 1 and 250,000 tons per <br />year for Pit 2 and 425,000 tons per year for Pit 3. Due to recent wide fluctuations in demand, <br />these numbers may change and should only be taken as an approximation. <br />Table D -3 <br />Mining Tonnage per Area <br />Pit Acres Tons Life (years) <br />1 21.0 1,197,000 12.0 <br />2 24.0 993,000 4.0 <br />3 19.0 636,000 1.5 <br />Total 64.76 2,826,000 17.5 <br />Note: Tonnage calculated at 1.5 tons per cubic -yard and areas include mining areas only, not <br />areas along the perimeter. <br />Primary access to the property is from D Road to the existing road immediately north of the 33 <br />Road Drain. Mesa County will be improving the D Road access as part of the agreement between <br />United Companies and the County.
