for viewing of the quarry. <br /> 2. Roads shall be located sufficiently far from streams to minimize fill material into <br /> the waters of the US. This route fills only the minimum volume to establish the <br /> access road. <br /> 3. The fill shall be designed to prevent restriction of expected flood flows. Diversion <br /> of Yule Creek into a historic channel will provide unrestricted flood flows. The <br /> historic channel has a much larger cross section than the existing channel. <br /> 4. The fill shall be properly stabilized and maintained to prevent erosion. Coarse <br /> broken marble will be used as fill for the roadway. No erosion issues are <br /> anticipated. <br /> S. Fill material placement shall be made in a manner that minimizes encroachment of <br /> machinery into areas outside the fill area. The fill area is bound by steep rock <br /> slopes. Machinery encroachment will not be an issue. <br /> 6. In design, construction, and maintenance of the road, vegetative disturbance within <br /> the waters of the US shall be minimized. The area to be filled does not have <br /> vegetation. <br /> 7. The design, construction, and maintenance of the road shall not disrupt the <br /> migration of aquatic life. The diversion of the creek follows a similar grade and <br /> will maintain similar migration paths. <br /> 8. Borrow material shall be taken from upland sources whenever feasible. All fill <br /> material will either be waste marble from mining or moraine material that cut off <br /> the eastern channel. <br /> 9. The fill shall not impact threatened and endangered species or adversely affect <br /> critical habitat of such species. The mine lies outside the critical habitat range of <br /> all listed threatened and endangered species in Western Colorado. <br /> 10. Discharges into breeding and nesting areas for migratory waterfowl, spawning <br /> areas, and wetlands shall be avoided. The channel to be filled is either bare marble <br /> bedrock or broken bedrock and does include any of the listed areas to be avoided. <br /> 11. The discharge shall not be located in the proximity of a public water supply intake. <br /> The site lies more than 2 miles above the Town of Marble. <br /> 12. The discharge shall not occur in areas of concentrated shellfish production. No <br /> shellfish exist at this location. <br /> 13. The discharge shall not occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic <br /> River System. Yule Creek is not in the National Wild and Scenic River System. <br /> 14. The discharge of material shall consist of suitable material free from toxic <br /> pollutants in toxic amounts. Only local moraine or inert marble will be utilized as <br /> fill. <br /> 15.All temporary fills shall be removed in their entirety and the area restored to its <br /> original elevation. Once the ridge in the Franklin Quarry is mined sufficiently to <br /> allow for working room and access, the temporary fill will be removed and the <br /> creek will be returned to its previous location. <br /> Minimal activities will be necessary to utilize the historic eastern channel. Vegetation and <br /> topsoil will be removed along the channel bottom and stockpiled to be used in <br /> revegetation of dump benches and other reclamation efforts on site. Waste marble blocks <br /> will be used to create Rosgen Arches within the diversion channel. This will reduce the <br />
