Bureau of Land Management Decision Record <br /> Royal Gorge Field Office DOI-BLM-CO-F020-2018-0083-EA <br /> 1. Soils— <br /> a. Develop and implement an erosion control and sediment plan that covers all <br /> disturbed areas. <br /> b. Minimize the operation of equipment, if feasible, when ground conditions could <br /> result in excessive rutting,soil puddling,or runoff of sediments directly into <br /> waterbodies and to decrease the potential for soil compaction and erosion. <br /> 2. Water Quality, Surface and Ground— <br /> a. Maintain the natural drainage pattern of the area,wherever practicable. <br /> b. Install sediment and stormwater controls before initiating surface-disturbing <br /> activities,to the extent practicable. <br /> 3. Paleontological Discoveries— <br /> If significant paleontological resources are discovered during surface disturbing actions <br /> or at any other time,the proponent or any of his agents must: (a)stop work immediately <br /> at that site; (b) contact the appropriate BLM representative,as soon as possible; and(c) <br /> make every effort to protect the site from further impacts,including looting, erosion,or <br /> other human or natural damage.The BLM or designated paleontologist will evaluate the <br /> discovery and take action to protect or remove the resource within 10 working days. <br /> Work may not resume at that location until approved by the official BLM representative. <br /> 4. Waste Hazardous and Solid— <br /> a. It is assumed that conditions associated with the proposed project site are <br /> currently clean and that no contamination is evident.No hazardous material,as <br /> defined by 42 U.S.C.9601 (which includes materials regulated under CERCLA, <br /> RCRA and the Atomic Energy Act,but does not include petroleum or natural <br /> gas),will be used,produced, transported or stored during project implementation. <br /> Any solid wastes developed during operation must be disposed of in accordance <br /> with State regulations. <br /> b. Since this project involves some type of oil or fuel use, transfer and/or storage,an <br /> adequate spill kit is required to be onsite.The project proponent will be <br /> responsible for adhering to all applicable local, State and Federal regulations in <br /> the event of a spill,which includes following the proper notification procedures in <br /> BLM's Spill Contingency Plan. <br /> c. Nothing in the analysis or approval of this action by BLM authorizes or in any <br /> way permits a release or threat of a release of hazardous materials(as defined <br /> under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,Compensation,and Liability <br /> Act of 1980,as amended,42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.,and its regulations) into the <br /> Decision Record-2 <br />
