PC: 9-6-90 <br /> QX-90-1 <br /> To transport material from the excavation site to the processing <br /> facility, an unpaved access road would be constructed from the <br /> proposed quarry, south of the Mokelumne River, to the existing <br /> processing facility north of the river. This access road would be <br /> approximately one mile in -length and 30 feet in width. The 100- <br /> foot-long bridge used to access - the existing quarry would be <br /> dismantled and reconstructed across the river for the new access <br /> road. Material from the proposed quarry site would be transported <br /> to the processing facility by two 70-ton-capacity, rubber-tired, <br /> off-highway haulers. The material would be processed into sand, <br /> gravels, and asphalt which would be transported via truck to market <br /> areas. Trucks leaving the processing facility would be commercial <br /> vehicles with capacities up to 25 tons. <br /> Excavations would take place from 6 : 00 a.m. to 6 : 00 p.m. , Monday <br /> through Friday. The processing plant would operate from 5 : 00 a.m. <br /> to 9 : 00 p.m. , Monday through Saturday. <br /> Although the quarry would operate seasonally, depending upon <br /> weather and the demand for supply, the processing facility would <br /> normally be open year round for sales from existing stockpiles. <br /> The processing facility itself would not operate during inclement <br /> weather or when demand for materials is minimal. The proposed <br /> quarry and processing plant would employ approximately 14 people, <br /> the same number now employed in the existing operations. <br /> To mitigate potential impacts from the project on the Mokelumne <br /> River and the area ' s water table, , the quarry will be set back a <br /> minimum of 1000 feet from the river, and no extraction will take <br /> place below the water table. <br /> TRAFFIC• <br /> Processed aggregate would be transported by truck (up to 25-ton <br /> capacity) to market areas. Trucks leaving the processing facility <br /> would first travel along Jahant Road. Westbound trucks would <br /> access markets along the Highway 99 corridor, and eattbound trucks <br /> would access markets along Highways 12 and 88 to the east and the <br /> Lodi and Stockton areas to the southwest. The processing facility <br /> would generate an average of 150 one-way trips per week and a peak <br /> of 200 one-way trips per week. <br /> -24- <br />
