16. Excavation will be in the hill tops of the site and therefore will be kept above any <br /> possible ground water elevation. The operation will not require any type of <br /> dewatering. <br /> 17. This property is hilly with slopes crossing the proposed pit limits on the north, <br /> south and easterly sides of the mining area. It is the intent to excavate the property <br /> so as not to allow any runoff from excavated area. Adequate temporary berming <br /> (as shown on Exhibit E—Mining Plan Map), will be performed on the <br /> northeasterly edges of the excavation areas to insure runoff water will be directed <br /> to existing north-south oriented drainage gullies. A series of earthen check dams <br /> will be constructed across these gullies (as shown on Exhibit E—Mining Plan <br /> Map) to contain runoff within the pit perimeter. The pit floor material is granular <br /> and water will percolate into the pit floor. Should it become necessary silt fences <br /> will be used as required along with berm maintenance. CRCC erosion supervisors <br /> will regularly monitor the performance of these measures and adjust as they deem <br /> necessary. Runoff from water outside the excavation area, if necessary, will be <br /> diverted to its normal runoff pattern. <br /> 18. The operation will not affect any Colorado water laws or regulations governing <br /> injury to existing water rights. No ponds will remain to evaporate water, nor will <br /> any water course be interrupted. No change in the runoff pattern will result. <br /> 19. No explosives will be required in the mining operation. <br />
