aggressive watering of roads and limiting the disturbed area should prevent significant dust <br /> impacts. <br /> d) Visual impact: The mine will be located within a large tract of land. Visual impacts will be <br /> minimal as daily activities are expected to be seasonal and as demand requires. <br /> e) The product from this mine will positively impact the local community by supplying <br /> construction materials for the foreseeable growth of this part of Ouray, San Miguel and Montrose <br /> Counties. The sandstone has been proven to be a desirable product for landscapers, general <br /> contractors, river projects and environmental restoration projects recently completed within the <br /> above-mentioned Counties. Similar rock is currently being supplied to Telluride from <br /> neighboring such as New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, even as far as Arkansas. This quarry <br /> would produce a locally available product that will reduce impact on our roads, greenhouse gas <br /> emissions (transportation distances) and produce sales tax income that is otherwise going to out <br /> of state entities. <br /> f) The hydrological system will detain all runoff so that sediment will not leave the site and <br /> cloud any downstream waters. There will be sanitation facilities located in the Mining Area, <br /> therefore no leach fields or other means of sewage disposal within the Mining Area. <br /> g) The Horsefly Rock Source will be reclaimed to rangeland and wildlife habitat as shown on <br /> Map C3. The operator will work closely with the County,NRCS, CDPW and the DRMS to <br /> ensure that the reclamation plan is the most appropriate for achieving the post-mining land use. <br />
