b. Terrace Irrigation Company was contacted regarding the two ditches that cross- <br /> cut the southeastern quarter of the section. Agreements will be reached prior to <br /> mining in that area(>40 years from now) and signed documents will be submitted <br /> to the DRMS once a formal agreement between the Terrace Irrigation Company <br /> and the Operator is reached. See changes to Exhibit G—Water Information, page <br /> G-1. <br /> "The pit features three irrigation ditches in the southeast quarter of the section, see map C-1. The <br /> eastern-most ditch is a Claunch A.R. Ranches ditch used to service their pond adjacent to the <br /> southeast corner of the site. The two ditches that cross-cut the eastern quarter section are owned <br /> by the Terrace Irrigation Company and serve as an overflow ditch that enters the Terrace <br /> Irrigation Company Claunch Lateral ditch that runs along the southern perimeter of the site. As <br /> mining in phases 10 and 11 near these ditches will not occur in the next 40 years, ample time will <br /> allow for an agreement to be made between the Terrace Irrigation Company and the Operator <br /> and conversations regarding said agreement are initiated. Following an agreement, all <br /> documentation will be submitted to the DRMS and Conejos County. Furthermore, 100 foot set- <br /> backs are in place surrounding the site to maintain distance from adjacent properties, irrigation <br /> ditches, or private right of ways as dictated by Conejos County; see Map C-2 for set-back <br /> locations." <br /> Additional changes were required by Conejos County regarding their required buffer distance. <br /> Conejos County requires a 100 foot set-back of all mining activities from adjacent properties, <br /> irrigation ditches, or private right of ways. This 100 foot set-back is now included in Maps C-2 <br /> and F-1. Text changes are in Exhibit D page D-7, "Conejos County stipulates that mining <br /> activity will not occur within 100 feet of the property boundary and no residential use properties <br /> are within 200 feet of the pit." <br /> Changes of acreage of disturbed ground were required due to the addition of the Conejos County <br /> 100 foot buffer and are found on pages E-1 and L-1 and overburden and topsoil availabilities <br /> values are changed on page D-6 and page E-1. <br /> E-1: "The total disturbed area to be reclaimed under this permit is 571 acres. Reclamation plans <br /> can be viewed on Map F-1. As of November 2017, approximately 8 acres in the northeastern <br /> corner of the site are reclaimed; 40 of the 571 total acres are currently in reclamation." <br /> L-1: "Mining at the Garrett Pit will mine an additional 571 (disturbed area) acres of land." <br /> D-6: "The anticipated topsoil to be removed and stockpiled in undisturbed future mining areas <br /> amounts to 170,400 CY.... The anticipated overburden in all unmined areas to be removed and <br /> stockpiled beneath the topsoil discussed prior totals to 3,278,300 CY." <br /> E-1: "3,278,300 CY (plus the 10 CY in current onsite berms) of overburden will be available for <br /> use during reclamation. Exact amounts of overburden required for reclamation are unknown and <br /> are potentially unnecessary due to the inherent shallower than 3H:1 V mining slopes resultant of <br /> dozer push to stockpile style mining. However,the available overburden for potential resurfacing <br />
