i) Groundwater and surface water may be encountered, but our operation will not <br /> affect the quantity or quality of this surface or groundwater. <br /> j) We will comply with Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to <br /> existing water rights by not using water in conjunction with the operation. The <br /> goal of removing this sediment is to increase water storage capability in Paonia <br /> Reservoir, which is beneficial to relevant water rights holders. <br /> k) If refuse and acid or toxic materials are exposed while harvesting this sediment, <br /> they will be handled and disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness <br /> and protect the drainage from pollution. This area has been studied extensively, <br /> and acid-forming materials are not expected. <br /> 1) By avoiding using water with this operation, we will maintain the existing <br /> hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable <br /> configuration of the reclaimed area. <br /> m) Sediment may be piled for a matter of days for dewatering. The harvested <br /> sediment deposit will not be further processed on site. <br /> n) Primary and secondary commodities to be extracted are clay, sand, and gravel, <br /> intended for use as feedstock for ceramic manufacturing. <br /> o) Expected incidental products to be mined are hematite and possibly mica. These <br /> will either be used as feedstock in ceramic manufacturing or sold to the arts and <br /> crafts industry. <br /> p) No explosives are to be used in conjunction with this operation. <br />
