A traffic study has been prepared separately, and addresses traffic projections for the operations. <br />Impacts are given for the proposed haul routes and intersections in the vicinity. Dust mitigation <br />will include frequent application of water and/or magnesium chloride to the site haul road, as <br />needed, for dust control. United Companies will work with Mesa County Planning and <br />Transportation Departments regarding access to 32V2 Road and improving sight distances at the <br />D and 32 '/2 Road intersection. <br />Drawing C -2 indicates collection and detention of on -site runoff, typical of gravel mining <br />operations. The site is currently in agricultural utilization with furrow irrigation. Eventual <br />elimination of this practice, with associated over watering and chemical - bearing tailwater, will <br />aid in the improvement of water quality discharged from the site to the adjacent 33 Road Drain <br />and nearby Colorado River. A large overhead high voltage power line (Excel Power) and 27" <br />sewer outfall line (Clifton Sanitation District) partially abut the project along the southeast side <br />of the site. These lines will be avoided and easements respected. United has worked closely <br />with Mesa County to provide a final reclamation plan that is in accordance with local codes and <br />produces a site both aesthetically beneficial to the community and environmentally functional to <br />the vicinity. Portable sanitation facilities will be provided to all workers at the site with sanitary <br />waste delivered off site for treatment at an approved disposal facility. No individual sewage <br />disposal systems (ISDS) are proposed. No unwarranted stresses on Mesa County utilities or <br />service providers are projected due to this operation. <br />7. Water Information, Rights and Augmentation <br />All water rights issues such as availability of water for this operation, consumption rates, dust <br />control, etc. are presented in Exhibit G - Water Information. <br />Otter Creek Pit December 12 D - <br />
