quickly move to adjacent areas and back into the area once it is <br />• reclaimed. <br />No major disturbance to the existing topography is planned. During the <br />life of the loadout facility, the limited topographical disturbance will <br />probably not have any measurable impacts on any wildlife in the area <br />because of the limited acreages of disturbance involved. Following <br />discontinuance of the loadout use, the area will be restored to a <br />topography as shown on the Post-Disturbance Topography Map (Map 10). <br />Wildlife utilizing the immediate area of disturbance will probably be <br />displaced during loadout activities. This displacement will probably <br />not produce any negative impacts on the adjacent range due to the small <br />size of disturbance associated with the loadout facilities. The area to <br />be disturbed by the loadout facility is minimal, and the ability of the <br />area to support much wildlife is also limited. <br />No State or Federally listed threatened or endangered fish and wildlife <br />species have been reported to occupy the area of planned loadout <br />facilities; therefore, impacts on such species will not occur. <br />Because of the small extent of surface disturbance to be caused at TCC <br />loadout facility and its significant distance from any intermittent or <br />perennial drainages, the impact of the activities on the aquatic <br />communities of the North Fork of the Gunnison River will be minimal. A <br />detailed sediment and drainage control plan will be implemented so that <br />any discharge from the disturbed area will meet the applicable effluent <br />limitations required under an NPDES permit from the Colorado Department <br />of Health, Water Quality Division. <br />Protection of Hydrologic Balance <br />General Requirements <br />• TCC loadout activities will be conducted to minimize changes in the <br />prevailing hydrologic balance in both the immediate site and adjacent <br />2.05-19 <br />
