(1)(f) The Exhibit Map E shows the area that has been disturbed within the permit boundary, <br /> along with the access road that leads from the permit area south to Highway 24. The <br /> area contained within the permit area is 9.9 acres, and the pit is roughly circular having a <br /> radius of a little over 150 feet. The current pit and immediately surrounding area is <br /> shown overlain on a 2-foot topographic contour map. There are no permanent <br /> impoundments nor waste rock stockpiles. <br /> (1)(g) There are no roads within the permit area, thus no roads to improve. Access is from an <br /> existing road leading from the south end of the permit area to Highway 24. The road is a <br /> private access road used by the landowner and by the permit owner to access his property <br /> and the permit area. Maintenance of the road is the responsibility of the landowner since <br /> it is not within the permit boundary. <br /> (1)(h) Historically no water has been used at this operation beyond drinking water for people <br /> working on the site. It is anticipated that these people can bring their own water from <br /> their homes or can procure it from the local Safeway store. It is not anticipated that any <br /> additional significant use of water will occur in the future. <br /> (l)(i j) The nearest water well is located approximately 500 feet to the southeast and has a collar <br /> elevation similar to the elevation of the current bottom of the pit. The well was drilled to <br /> a depth of 320 feet and the driller reported static water at 48 feet below the surface. <br /> Thus, the anticipated depth to static water should be at approximately the same depth <br /> below the current pit bottom within the permit area. The nearest intermittent stream is <br /> located greater than 300 feet distant northwest beyond the permit area and beyond the <br /> remaining part of the mountain. As discussed above, most precipitation has been and <br /> will continue to be retained within the permit area, where it infiltrates into the permeable <br /> subsurface. Since there is no groundwater to be encountered, and no discharge to <br /> surface waters, there is no conflict with current Colorado water laws. <br /> (1)k-1) The operation is located in granite rocks that are similar to those located on the top of <br /> Pikes Peak, and neither the rocks on top of Pikes Peak, nor rock at the permit area have <br /> been found to be acid generating. Per standard good workmanlike practice, and as has <br /> occurred previously on the site, refuse generated by the project will be properly disposed <br /> of. Since there is no groundwater to be encountered, and no discharge to surface waters, <br /> there is no conflict with current Colorado water laws. <br /> (1)(m) Processing of the material, as defined in Rule 1 of Mineral Rules and Regulations is <br /> interpreted to include in this case only excavating of the material, loading it in trucks and <br />
