�F <br /> Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> T of the February 19, 2016 permit submittal. Also, a Spill Prevention, Control, and <br /> Countermeasure (SPCC) plan will be developed and submitted to the Colorado Department of <br /> Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) prior to construction activities. Bishop-Brogden <br /> Associates prepared a detailed discussion, with references cited, of potential groundwater <br /> contamination and groundwater flows in the vicinity of the quarry in their response to comments <br /> report included in Exhibit G of the July 14, 2016 submittal. This report demonstrates that "the <br /> wells to the north and west of the proposed quarry area are upstream and up ground water <br /> gradient from the mine and there is not potential for water quality impacts to occur to these <br /> wells as a result of mining activities" (BBA, 2016). Bishop-Brogden Associates also demonstrates <br /> that the fault acts as a barrier to flow perpendicular to the faulting and that the sandstone aquifer <br /> east of the fault is a separate groundwater system from groundwater in the granite. Therefore, <br /> there is also no potential for water quality impacts to occur in nearby wells. <br /> References: Bishop-Brogden Associates, Inc., 2016.

These wells likely depend on the fracture <br /> system within the granitic rock for water supply, while wells in the adjacent upturned <br /> sedimentary rocks may depend upon both these fracture systems and infiltration along the <br /> granite-sedimentary rock boundary for recharge. The proposed quarry sits on or near several <br /> faults and the blasting and mining could have adverse permanent impacts upon the area's water. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application M-2016-010 <br /> Responses to Objection Letters <br /> July 28, 2016 6 <br />
