SITE DESCRIPTION EXHIBIT B(CONT) <br /> PERMANENT MAN-MADE STRUCTURES <br /> Highway 160 ROW on the north side of the property is the only <br /> structure within 200 feet of the affected lands. There are no above <br /> or below ground communication or power lines, fences, bridges, <br /> wells, pipelines, water storage impoundments, railroad tracks, <br /> cemeteries or communication antennas within 200 feet of the <br /> affected lands. <br /> WATER RESOURCES <br /> There are no water structures on the site. The closest <br /> stream is the Rio Grande River that at its closest point is <br /> approximately 250 feet south of the site. Review of well data from <br /> the Office of the State Engineer's files on the surrounding area <br /> indicate the highest ground water table is associated with the <br /> river alluvium. That is approximately 15 feet below the proposed <br /> floor level of the mine. As our plan is to process material from <br /> the stockpiled material on site, there will be no subsurface <br /> excavation, therefore no ground water will be exposed. There is no <br /> hydraulic connection between the area under the mine and the <br /> rivers alluvial aquifer. We do not expect to encounter ground <br /> water on this site for that reason. We will not affect the <br /> hydrologic balance or the surface or subsurface water in the <br /> area. <br /> MINING PLAN EXHIBIT C <br /> 63.3-This is a stockpiled mining operation, the mine is <br /> located approximately 5.9 miles west of South Fork, Colorado and <br /> 100 feet south of highway 160. From South Fork, Co. , follow US HWY <br /> 160, 5.9 miles west to entrance gate on the south side of the road, <br /> thru the gate bare left along this road to the pit area. The <br /> location of the entrance is shown on the vicinity map exhibit <br /> supplied with this application. The material to be mined is the <br /> stockpiled material left from previous CDOT road jobs. The purpose <br /> of this permit is to clean up the stock piled material and make it <br /> into saleable material, and bring the property back to a more <br /> natural looking state. <br /> The entrance road is an existing well graveled road, this road <br /> will be maintained and used after the mining operation is complete. <br /> The site is currently used as rangeland and <br /> consists of a gravel terrace paralleling the north side of the Rio <br /> Grande River. The useable material is stockpiled on site. <br /> 21 <br />
