b) Permanent man-made structures <br /> There are 4 power polies within 200 feet of the affected area. A letter of agreement has <br /> been signed by KC Electric Association dated March 20, 2018. <br /> c) Water resources <br /> The excavation will not occur within a drainage area. Aside from runoff during rainfall, the <br /> excavation should not encounter any water during mining. Rainfall in the area averages <br /> about 14.9 inches per year. The site will generally not be impacted by water. The water <br /> table is in the area is approximately 140 feet deep. <br /> d) Wildlife <br /> Common species in eastern Colorado could include bird species of Cassin's sparrow, <br /> chestnut collared longspur, lark bunting,western meadowlark,ferruginous and Swainsan's <br /> hawks, and pheasants. Small mammals that might be found include white-tailed and black- <br /> tailed jackrabbit, badger, pronghorn antelope, coyote, swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long- <br /> tailed weasel,and several species of mice. Reptiles might include the western rattlesnake, <br /> race snake, western box turtle, and six-lined racerunner. Other animals and birds common <br /> to Kit Carson County could also be found at the site from time to time. Based on several <br /> visits to the site, no wildlife has been observed. There are no known threated or <br /> endangered species. <br /> Exhibit C: Mining Plan <br /> a) The mining is expected to begin as soon as possible after a permit is obtained. The <br /> operation will provide material for construction projects and road building in the area. <br /> Anticipated life of the pit is indefinite. Since the County will only use material when they are <br /> working on roads in the area,the supply will undoubtedly last for a number of years. <br /> b) The mining plan is to begin removal of the material beginning at the top elevation of the pit <br /> area where an old disturbed area already exists. Mining will move down and around until <br /> the entire area is excavated. Excavation will continue as the need for material continues <br /> and as the supply remains available. There is topsoil in the area which averages about 4" in <br /> depth. The pit will have the topsoil stripped and stockpiled for re-application during <br /> reclamation. Any topsoil stockpile will be seeded with grass to prevent soil erosion. <br /> c) There is no waste rock or material at the site. <br />
