It is understood that the proposed <br /> surface mining and reclamation operation would be located at or near Section 6, Township 3N, <br /> Range 66W, 6th Principle Meridian. All affected lands will be reclaimed to support a post- <br /> mining land use. We offer the following comments for your consideration: <br /> Your plans should be coordinated with the state water quality office that has jurisdiction within <br /> the area where the project is located to ensure compliance with federal and state water quality <br /> standards and regulations mandated by the Clean Water Act and administered by the U.S. <br /> Environmental Protection Agency. Please coordinate with the Colorado Department of Public <br /> Health and Environment concerning state water quality programs. <br /> If you have not already done so, it is recommended you consult with the U.S. Fish and <br /> Wildlife Service and the Colorado Division of Wildlife regarding fish and wildlife resources. In <br /> addition, the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office should be contacted for information <br /> and recommendations on potential cultural resources in the project area. <br /> Since the proposed project does not appear to be located within Corps owned or operated <br /> lands, your plans should be submitted to the local floodplain administrator for review and <br /> approval prior to construction. It should be ensured that the proposed project is in compliance <br /> with the floodplain management criteria of Weld County and the State of Colorado. In addition, <br /> please coordinate with the following floodplain management office: <br /> Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> Attention: Ms. Jamie Prochno <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 721 <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> Telephone: 303-866-3441 ext. 3215 <br /> Fax: 303-866-4474 <br /> Email: iamie.prochnoCa-)state.co.us <br /> Any proposed placement of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States (including <br /> jurisdictional wetlands) requires Department of the Army authorization under Section 404 of the <br /> Clean Water Act.
