The operation is not expected to intercept the regional ground water table or impact ground <br /> water as discussed above. <br /> (c) Compliance with applicable federal and Colorado dredge and fill requirements: <br /> This requirement is not applicable since no wetlands will be impacted. <br /> (d) Remove temporary or large siltation structures from drainage ways after disturbed <br /> area are revegetated and stabilized, if required by the Reclamation Plan: <br /> No detention ponds or livestock watering pond will be constructed on the floor of the operation. <br /> (2) Earthen dams, if necessary to impound water, may be constructed if the formation <br /> of such impoundments will not damage adjoining property or conflict with water pollution <br /> laws, rules or regulations of the federal government, the State of Colorado or with any local <br /> government pollution ordinances: <br /> Please see 3.1.6(1)(d) above. <br /> (3) All surface areas of the affected land, including spoil piles shall be stabilized and <br /> protected so as to effectively control erosion: <br /> All surface areas of the affected land will be stabilized and protected so as to effectively control <br /> erosion. The Operator does not plan on having any spoil piles. The proposed excess overburden <br /> pile will be located on the floor of the Phase 1. The pit floor will be sloped at a 1.5% grade <br /> toward the nearest downgradient drainage which will help prevent erosion and control runoff, <br /> allowing precipitation to infiltrate into the pit floor. In addition,the toe of stockpiles will be <br /> surrounded with runoff control material, such as straw bales or other suitable material, provided <br /> the erosion control measure does not interfere with mining or reclamation operations. <br /> 3.1.7 Ground Water—Specific Requirements: <br /> Ground water is discussed in Exhibit"G". <br /> 3.1.8 Wildlife: <br /> (1) All aspects of the mining and reclamation plan shall take into account the safety <br /> and protection of wildlife on the mine site, and all associated facilities with special attention <br /> given to critical periods for wildlife: <br /> Wildlife use during active mining is not anticipated. Regardless,the Operator will consider the <br /> safety and protection of any wildlife entering the site during mining and reclamation operations. <br /> Finally, no described critical periods or species of concern are known by <br /> Applicant/Operator/Landowner. <br /> 32 <br />
