8) Will groundwater be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or disturbed(check one): <br /> (0)Yes or ([✓]) No. <br /> a. If yes, please describe: <br /> 9) (Optional) Please provide additional information about the Mining Plan: <br /> Mining will commence in July 2024 or as soon thereafter as this permit is approved and <br /> will continue until the completion of the 1-76 Panel Replacement Project. The completion of <br /> this project will be in the fall of 2025. Reclamation will be complete just after the project is <br /> finished. <br /> Significant Disturbances to the Land: This pit will be mined from East to West starting at <br /> the Eastern border just inside of the berm being used as a perimeter erosion BMP. The pit <br /> will be cut to the final contours shown on the reclamation plan which leave a flattened <br /> bench. No product stockpiles will be required since the product will not be processed only <br /> loaded into trucks. Topsoil will be stockpiled in the Northeast corner of the pit as well as <br /> being utilized to build compacted berms along the down stream perimeter of the pit for <br /> erosion control purposes. No overburden material is anticipated based off of soil borings <br /> but if encountered it will be stockpile next to the topsoil and re-spread following mining. <br /> Total dimensions of excavation: 700 LF x 350 LF <br /> Processing: The deposit will not be washed, crushed, or processed in anyway on site. It <br /> will be loaded into trucks and hauled away. Thus no wash ponds or chemical agents will <br /> be required. This area is virgin land and no refuse (physical or chemical) is anticipated to <br /> be encountered. The only water use anticipated will be for dust control onsite. <br /> Drainage and Hydrologic Impact Control: This site is located across and existing hill, thus <br /> there is no concern of any impacts from upland drainage since the topography is sloping <br /> away from the proposed mining site. A 2 foot tall compacted earthen berm will be <br /> constructed from existing topsoil and overburden along the Western and Southern borders <br /> of the pit in order to provide erosion and sediment control. This proposed BMP is in <br /> compliance with the erosion and sediment requirements for the contracted project along <br /> Highway 76. A temporary fence will be installed and maintained around the pit perimeter to <br /> prevent any off site damage. <br /> Proposed Future Land Use: This property will remain as rangeland following mining <br /> operations. All final slopes will be 4:1 or shallower to allow livestock and ranch vehicles <br /> safe access. See reclamation plan (map) for final stable configuration. <br /> Commodities: The only commodity to be produce from this site is earthen fill for CDOT <br /> project 25037 <br />
