The operation is not expected to intercept the regional ground water table or impact <br /> ground water as discussed above. <br /> (c) Compliance with applicable federal and Colorado dredge and fill <br /> 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 <br /> disturbed 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 <br /> operation. Attachment IV shows using New Jersey Barriers to trap runoff sediments. We <br /> propose using a similar structure to control sediments into the adjacent drainageway. The <br /> sediment trap may be easily cleaned as need and the structure may be easily removed <br /> once mining and site reclamation are complete. <br /> (2) Earthen dams, if necessary to impound water, may be constructed if the <br /> formation of such impoundments will not damage adjoining property or conflict with <br /> water pollution laws,rules or regulations of the federal government,the State of <br /> Colorado or with any local 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 <br /> and protected so as to effectively control erosion: <br /> All surface areas of the affected land will be stabilized and protected so as to effectively <br /> control erosion. The Operator does not plan on having any spoil or overburden piles. If <br /> overburden piles are necessary,they will be of a temporary nature, less than two years, and <br /> will be located on the floor of the Phase where active mining is occurring. The pit floor <br /> will be sloped at a 1.5%grade toward the east which will help prevent erosion and control <br /> runoff, allowing precipitation to infiltrate into the pit floor. All topsoil piles, if not added to <br /> or used within 180 days,will be seeded with the approved topsoil stabilization seed mix. <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 <br /> safety and protection of wildlife on the mine site,and all associated facilities with <br /> special attention given to critical periods for wildlife: <br /> 31 <br />
