Setbacks are required for manmade structures owned fy Lamar Light and <br />Power, Southeastern Colorado Power Association, Bent County and Mr Verhoeff. <br />Bent County requested a 50 foot setback from the 60 foot ROW for County Road ]J. <br />The transmission line owned by Lamar Light and Power traverses the north portion of <br />the property. Transmission line poles will have a 75 foot radial setback and 50 foot <br />easement where no mining will occur. The distribution line is located north of County <br />Road JJ and will not be affected by mining. Mr. Verhoeff requested a 50 foot setback <br />from fences and well structures. Water pipelines and corrals owned by Mr. Verhoeff <br />may be relocated or replaced as needed during mining. <br />Groundwater is not expected to be exposed at this excavation elevation; <br />therefore no impact to the hydrologic balance is anticipated. No acid or toxic <br />producing materials will be exposed during mining. No explosives will be used in <br />conjunction with mining or reclamation. <br />Comments received August 17, 2012 from Colorado State Historic <br />Preservation Office (SHPO) indicate the southern portion of the subject property is <br />located adjacent to a formally recognized segment of the Santa Fe Trail. As <br />indicated in the mine plan map, the southern portion of the property is not included <br />in the proposed affected area and this portion of the trail will be avoided. However, <br />due to the meandering nature of historic trails there is a potential for associated <br />features or artifacts to be present within the proposed affected area. In the event <br />that an unidentified archaeological resource is identified during the mining operation, <br />extraction will cease in the vicinity of the discovery and the SHPO will be immediately <br />notified. Mining will resume in the vicinity of the discovery only upon receipt of <br />SHPO approval. <br />6i <br />
