(1)(f) The Exhibit Map E shows the area within the permit boundary. The area contained <br /> within the permit area is 9.4 acres, and the area where material is to be removed is <br /> roughly rectangular to produce a final leveled area having dimensions at large as 200 by <br /> 1,200 feet. A small storm water impoundment is shown on Exhibit Map E-1 for storm <br /> water runoff once the area is leveled. There will be no mine benches, stockpiles, or <br /> waste rock disposal areas, etc. <br /> (1)(g) No new roads will be constructed within the permit area as permittee will use the already <br /> existing roads. The existing access road from Highway 67 will be used to reach the <br /> permit area. That road is a private access road used by the landowner and permit owner to <br /> access his property and the permit area. <br /> (1)(h) No water is anticipated to be used for mining purposed at this site. <br /> (1)(i j) The nearest water well is located approximately 650 feet to the northeast and has a collar <br /> elevation of 9,935 feet and a depth of 30 feet. The lowest elevation of the level area is <br /> 9934 feet, approximately the same elevation as the ground surface at the nearest well and <br /> 6 feet above the bottom of the adjacent gulch to the south. The next closest well is <br /> located 1,200 feet to the east. It has a collar elevation of 9936 feet, and a depth of 52 <br /> feet. As discussed above, the soils are well drained and the static groundwater surface is <br /> below the area to be leveled. There are no nearby intermittent steams, and the small <br /> draw that is located immediately south is dry except during very large precipitation <br /> events. <br /> Any runoff generated as a result of the leveling will be retained on an onsite detention <br /> pond (Exhibit E-1). During the life of the project sufficient temporary holding pond <br /> capacity will be in place to contain the amount of storm water generated as the project <br /> progresses. At time of completion, the leveled area will be about 4.9 acres, and the <br /> regraded sloped areas about 2.0 acres for a total of 6.9 acres total disturbance. The 10- <br /> year 24 hour storm event is shown to produce 2.47 inches of total precipitation, and the <br /> SCS Runoff Curve Value (CN) for disturbed ground is 52. The calculated runoff <br /> generated from the maximum 6.9 acres of disturbance will be 32,200 cubic feet of water. <br /> The pond volume for the retention pond shown, having a depth of 2 feet, is 36,000 cubic <br /> feet and of sufficient size to contain that volume. The shallow design of the structure <br /> will allow the storm water to be contained, and the porous gravelly bottom will allow <br /> rapid drainage into the soils. Since there is no groundwater to be encountered, and no <br /> discharge to surface waters, there is no conflict with current Colorado water laws. <br /> (1)k-1) The operation is located in colluvium generated from granite rocks that are similar to <br /> those located on the top of Pikes Peak. Neither, the rocks on top of Pikes Peak, nor rock <br />
