(Mertensia ciliata), dandelion (J'araxacum officinale), clover(J'rifolium spp.), and death <br /> camas(Zigodenus venenosus). <br /> Willow Woodland, A Wetland Plant Community <br /> The willow woodland community occurs adjacent to the creek channel, in the most mesic <br /> portion of the site. This woodland comprises almost a half-acre (1.7 percent) of the site. <br /> The area is characterized by a dense willow canopy composed of the same species found <br /> in the willow/spruce/fir woodland. The same dense shrub and lush herbaceous <br /> components that are present in the willow/spruce/fir woodland also occur in this <br /> community. <br /> (b) Identify any permanent manmade structures within two hundred <br /> (200)feet of the affected area and the owner of each structure. Each <br /> structure should be located on Exhibit E - Map: <br /> As shown on Exhibit E, the only permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the <br /> affected area are Boulder County, County Road 128 and an Excel power line which supplies <br /> power to the mine site and runs somewhat east and west from the site toward Nederland <br /> and up onto U.S. Forest Service property. In addition there is a Qwest phone line on the <br /> south side of the proposed permit boundary which runs somewhat east and west. These <br /> structures have been a feature on and around the mine site for many years during its <br /> periods of activity and in-activity. <br /> (c) A description of the water resources in the area of the proposed <br /> operation. Identify surface and subsurface waters that would receive <br /> drainage directly from the affected area. Provide any available <br /> information from publications, or monitoring data on flow rates, <br /> water table elevations and water quality conditions: <br /> Surface Water Resources: <br /> Coon Track Creek bisects the proposed permit area. Associated with the drainage are <br /> some wetlands on either side of Coon Track Creek. No site specific stream flow data are <br /> available for Coon Track Creek. Stream flow rates and surface water quality data are <br /> provided in Attachment I for the basin in general. <br /> Wetlands on the Calais Mine property are primarily associated with Coon Track Creek, <br /> which is a narrow and well-defined channel that flows through the length of the property <br />
