3.Project Description — 100 percent coverage in the area of the trees.The non-irrigated hydroseed mix would include — 80 percent Zorro fescue and 20 percent rose clover. The hydroseed mix would be applied at 55 pounds per acre. Site Access A paved entrance to the plant site would be constructed off of Koster Road approximately — 2,100 feet south of Blewett Road. The driveway will be paved at least 100 feet into the plant site. The on-site equipment and material haul roads would be unpaved. All employee and customer parking would be located at a designated parking zone, surfaced with asphalt and located on the — site within the Phase IX area, the plant site. Secondary access will be off Blewett Road at the Phase IVB area. The applicant proposes to participate in the funding of a new intersection at Interstate 5 and Blewett Road. Otherwise access to the freeways will be from Highway 132 and Bird Road. Utilities There are five known wells on the project site. Locations are shown on Figures 3-3 and 3-4, the Mining Plan (Options 1 and 2). There are three agricultural wells with a capacity of about 1,300 gallons per minute (gpm) each and two domestic wells with the capacity of 20 gpm each. Most likely Agricultural Wells No. 1 and No. 3 as well as Domestic Well No. 2 will remain operational.The other two wells will be abandoned.The wells will be connected to the plant facilities and office during the construction phase and provide water supply during the operation of the project. Grid power will be supplied by connecting to existing power at the intersection of Koster and Blewett Roads. Service will be underground on-site and a transformer will be located next to the aggregate processing site. Fuel for the asphalt plant will be provided by existing natural gas service. The Project would also utilize diesel fuel and gasoline for vehicle fuel and back-up power generation. There would he two 10,000-gallon aboveground diesel fuel tanks, and one — 3,000-gallon aboveground gasoline tank. There is no public sewer serving the project site. A new septic tank would be installed within the — plant site to service the office area and another tank would be installed to service the relocated house and barn. The existing septic tank/leach fields serving the house and barn would be removed during mining excavation. — Power, fuel and water usage are discussed below in Section 3.6.3. Site Drainage All disturbed surface runoff would either be directed to silt ponds or contained within the mining — excavations. No separate dedicated storm water retention ponds are proposed.
