The <br />site ie approximately 40 scree in size and ie located about halfway between Castle Rock and <br />Parker off of Crowfoot Valley Road in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 8, Township 7 <br />South, Range 66 West, 6th P.M. <br />The site ie gently eloping rangeland dominated by short-grass prairie vegetation. There is <br />a small tributary drainage to Lemon Gulch that traverses through the southwestern part of the <br />permit area that harbors come woody type vegetation, however, this area ie not elated for <br />disturbance. All permanent structures, such as fences, have been properly identified on the <br />pre-mining map. All of the baseline information that was submitted as part of the <br />application appears to be accurate. <br />Two items that were discussed in the field involved the access road into the permit area and <br />the poetmining topography. The access concern was whether any substantial upgrades were <br />going to be made to the existing two track road to support the mining operation. Mr. Spence <br />indicated that no upgrading was necessary due to the limited amount material haulage that <br />would be occurring and that no material would be removed during under wet conditions. The <br />second concern involved surface water drainage after reclamation ie completed. A small gully <br />currently rune through the northeast part of the permit area. Thie area ie elated for <br />disturbance and the concern was that the proposed postmining topography did not address <br />replacement of the small drainage feature to handle the small watershed above the reclaimed <br />area. The operator indicated that some additional conservation features such as contour <br />furrows or terraces would be installed to address this situation or the small drainage would <br />be re-established to convey runoff from the small watershed above the reclaimed area. <br />Additional items discussed included the proposed eeedmix, the exact location of the proposed <br />sedimentation pond, and the extent of the proposed disturbance. The Colorado Division of <br />Wildlife had indicated a concern about the potential disturbance of woody habitat along the <br />perimeter of the proposed affected area. Ae previously mentioned, the operator identified <br />the extent of the proposed disturbance and it dose not include the existing woody habitat. <br />I 6 E Contact Address <br />NAME Wavne Spence <br />OPERATOR Denver Brick Comoanv <br />STREET Box 1600 (401 Santa Fe Road) <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Castle Rock.
