(b) The operator/applicant will comply with applicable Federal and <br />Colorado water quality laws and regulations, including all the standards <br />adopted by the State Water Quality Control Commission. <br />(c) No dredge of streambeds will be done, and the fill areas will not <br />injure the water quality nor restrict historical flow. <br />(d) Some earthen structures will remain that were used to control <br />stormwater after mining. Reclamation requires some structures eg: earthen <br />berms. <br />(2) No dams will be constructed on this mine site. Earthen berms will be used to <br />manage stormwater. The berms will be embankments cut from native grade will <br />a slope not steeper than 3H:1V. Natural patterns will be reestablish during <br />reclamation. <br />(3) All surface areas of the affected land, including spoil piles, will be stabilized <br />and protected so as to effectively control erosion. <br />3.1.7 Groundwater - Specific Requirements <br />Groundwater is discussed in Exhibit "G" - Water Information. <br />3.1.8 Wildlife <br />(1) The operator will consider the safety and protection of wildlife on site. No <br />described critical periods or species are known by this operatoriapplicant or <br />landowner. <br />(2) No habitat management is planned on this site. <br />3.1.9 - Topsoiling <br />(1) Topsoil will be stockpiled in close proximity to the mine areas in order to <br />shorten haul distances to and from the areas that were stripped. Once the <br />topsoil has been removed and segregated from the other spoil or product, it will <br />be saved for replacement. If the duration before use exceeds one full growing <br />cycle, the topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with a western wheatgrass (9 # / <br />PLS) to control erosion. <br />(2) Mining on the affected lands will disturb little to no woody vegetation. <br />(3) Stockpiles will be configured to minimize erosion and will be located in <br />areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized. As <br />stated in 3.1.9 topsoiling (1) above, if necessary, stockpiles will be seeded for <br />the purpose of stabilization. <br />
