The existing permit allows for the <br />extraction and crushing of gravel material on site for road base, screened rock, and sand. <br />The request for this technical revision is to add a hot and cold asphalt plant to the existing <br />operation. This revision would expand the area of Phase I to 18 acres to accommodate the <br />asphalt plant and a containment structure. The containment structure would consist of a <br />30' X 60' bermed azea underlaid with a minimum 20 mil PVC impermeable liner. The <br />berm would be a minimum of 18" high with 2:1 side slopes. The containment structure <br />would store oil in steel tanker trailers. <br />It is anticipated that this operation would produce approximately 20,000 tons per year of <br />processed material. Two 5,000 ion stockpiles will be maintained for %"minus material <br />for the hot plant and 3/8" minus material for the cold. See the enclosed map for location <br />of the plant, containment azea, and the stockpiles. <br />If I can be of any further assistance please contact me at your earliest convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />Permitting contact <br />cc: Art Beavers <br />2917 L50 Lane, Hotchkiss, CO 81419. 970-872-2433 • cranhckl@rmi.net <br />
