Mr. Connor Drinkard <br /> RE: Carr Pit East M-2022-005 <br /> June 27, 2022 <br /> armoring, etc. can be readily used to slow stormwater runoff, stabilize disturbed areas, and <br /> minimize sediment transport. At natural topographic low spots upgradient and adjacent to the <br /> berm, sediment ponds will be constructed to catch stormwater and reduce suspended <br /> sediment prior to discharge into the Lone Tree Creek drainage area. <br /> 6.4.1 Exhibit A—Legal Description <br /> 4. The project site is located in NW'/a, NEl/a, SW'/a, and SEl/a of the SWl/a in Section 22, <br /> Township 11 North, Range 67 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Weld County, State of <br /> Colorado. <br /> 6.4.2 Exhibit B—Index May <br /> 5. Please see attached revised Exhibit B —Vicinity Map. <br /> 6. Please see attached revised Exhibit B —Vicinity Map. <br /> 6.4.3 Exhibit C—Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Land <br /> 7. Please see attached revised Exhibit C-5 — Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map. The site mining <br /> limits have been revised to exclude the Lone Tree Creek channel and associated wetlands and <br /> additional description has been added to the exhibit notes. <br /> 8. Please see attached revised Exhibit C-5 — Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map. The exhibit cross- <br /> sections have been revised to illustrate the range of anticipated soil/overburden depths and <br /> additional description has been added to the exhibit notes. <br /> 6.4.4 Exhibit D—Mining Plan <br /> 9. Please see attached revised Exhibit C-5 — Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map. The site mining <br /> limits have been revised to exclude the Lone Tree Creek channel and associated wetlands and <br /> additional description has been added to the exhibit notes. Although included in the overall <br /> permit boundary and affected area, the creek channel and associated wetland/riparian area <br /> will not be disturbed during mining and reclamation. The only exception will be if an access <br /> road needs to be constructed across the Lone Tree Creek drainage to access the southern <br /> mining area (Phase II). If an access road is constructed, only the area within the footprint of <br /> the road will be temporarily disturbed. In lieu of the road, an elevated conveyor may be used <br /> to minimize disturbance to the creek drainage area. Construction of the access road or <br /> elevated conveyor across the Lone Tree Creek drainage will be detailed in a permit technical <br /> revision submitted to, and approved by, the Division prior to any disturbance within the <br /> drainage. <br /> 10. There are no jurisdictional wetlands or other waters of the U.S. within the Carr Pit East <br /> mining limits. Areas with potential jurisdictional wetlands were identified during initial site <br /> assessments and have been excluded from the mining limits. Jurisdictional wetlands likely <br /> occur exclusively within the Lone Tree Creek drainage area and may be disturbed and <br /> `blue ea-th Page 3of12 <br />
