(g)The haul road will be widened from County Road R to the active mining area. The <br /> haul road may need periodic grading to accommodate heavy truck traffic. The haul road <br /> will be a trail road, so it will be very minimal in width dimension. No drainage or runoff <br /> issues are anticipated with this location. <br /> (h) There will be no water used in conjunction with the mining operation. <br /> (i)The pit will not intercept any groundwater due to its slope and water runoff. Ponds of <br /> water may occur for a short period of time after a significant rainfall. No detrimental <br /> effects of quality are anticipated. The County will stay within two feet above the seasonal <br /> high groundwater elevation. <br /> 0)Applicable water laws should not be affected. Cheyenne County, as a political <br /> subdivision of the State of Colorado, will always adhere to Colorado Water laws <br /> regarding injury to existing water rights. <br /> (k)Any exposed refuse encountered will be disposed of properly in the Cheyenne County <br /> Landfill if warranted. Acid of toxic materials will be carefully analyzed and disposed of <br /> according to all local, state, and federal rules and regulations. If acid or toxic materials <br /> are found, Cheyenne County will initially contact the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br /> and Safety as well as the local and state health departments for their expertise in dealing <br /> with situations such as this. <br /> (1)There will be no disturbance to hydrologic balance. Reclamation will be consistent <br /> with the future land use of native pasture ground. Cheyenne County, as Operator, does <br /> not intend to interrupt any of the groundwater sources. Operator intends to maintain the <br /> proposed excavation depth of 10 to 20 feet. If water accumulates in the pit, two possible <br /> actions will be taken: <br /> 1) Mining operations will cease until the water evaporates. <br /> 2) If the collected water for some reason is excessive, the operator intends to manually <br /> pump the water out of the pit. <br /> (m)Sand and gravel deposits may be stockpiled on the site for use on county roads. <br /> There will be no on-site screening, crushing, asphalt, mulching, leaching, or mixing. <br /> (n) Primary commodity to be mined is sand and gravel for use on county roads. No <br /> secondary commodities will be mined. <br /> (o) No incidental products will be mined. <br /> (p)There will not be any explosives used in conjunction with the mining or reclamation. <br /> PAGE 2 <br />
