_' <br /> <br />The most critical problem associated with this operation is the potential <br />of further high water created by spring snowmelt to cause a breach in all <br />banks and buffers between the river, canal, and ponds, and is a potential <br />and immediate hazard to the adjacent land owner from flooding, a threat <br />which might otherwise not exist had the above conditions not been created <br />as a result of the mining operation. Further, due to the proximity of <br />disturbance on and near the St. Vrain, accelerated sedimentation and siltation can <br />be expected for the St. Vtain and the above mentioned ponds. In addition, <br />stability is so critical along the access road between the pond and the <br />St. Vrain that on going erosion will no doubt create a breach regardless of <br />the snow melt situation, unless action is taken to prevent such a breach. <br />No topsoil stockpiles were observed thus compounding the reclamation problem. <br />~~ Reclamation goals should emphasize returning hydrologic stability to the area- <br />a~ <br />~ad Ja <br />
