-lo- <br />III. Cultu_ral_and_H15tor1c Resources - Rules 2.04.4 and 2.05.6(4 <br />Pursuant to Rule 2.07.6(2)(e), and on the basis of evidence submitted by <br />the applicant, (See Exhibit 5 correspondence from Colorado Historical <br />Preservation Office) the Division finds that the proposed operation will <br />not adversely affect any publicly owned park or place listed on the <br />National Register of Historic Places. <br />The operation 1s in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />IV. Geolovy -Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6(2) <br />A geology description is provided on page3 2.04-8 through 2.04-9 of the <br />application. Map 2 is a regional geology map and Map 10 is a site <br />surface geology map. <br />The Terror Creek permit area 1s located on a gently sloping colluvlal <br />deposit which extends from the steep canyon slopes north of Highway 133 <br />to the streamlaid alluvium of the North Fork of the Gunnison River. <br />Strata exposed on the steep slopes to the north of the permit area are, <br />in ascending order, the Mancos Shale and Mesa Verde Formations of Late <br />Cretaceous age. The colluvial deposit upon which the load-out is <br />constructed consists of an unconsolidated mixture of large, angular <br />shaped boulders, and rocks and cobbles of various sizes. The <br />unconsolidated material stratlgraphlcally overlies the Mancos Shale 1n <br />the permit area, and since the early 1900's has been graded to its <br />present surface configuration to allow for irrigated agriculture. <br />The only stratlgraphic unit affected by the minor excavation associated <br />with construction of the load-out bench, foundations, and diversion <br />structures is the unconsolidated surf lclal deposit. Since no deep <br />excavation or mining is proposed, underlying strata will not be affected. <br />The proposed operation 1s in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />V. f~drologic Balance: Surface Water - Rules 2.04.5, 2.04.7, <br />2.05.3, 2.05.6(31 and 4.05 <br />The surface water hydrology information, sediment control and protection <br />of the hydrologic balance sections of the application has been reviewed <br />by the 01v1sion. Surface water information is provided on pages 2.04-10 <br />and 2.04-11. Sediment and drainage control is addressed on pages 2.05-3 <br />and 2.05-4, design calculations are in Ezhiblt 9 and methods to be <br />employed for protection of the hydrologic balance are detailed on pages <br />2.05-20 through 2.05-25. <br />The permit area Ss drained by the North Fork of the Gunnison River. One <br />unnamed ephemeral drainage crosses the western portion of the permit <br />area. Agricultural land within and adjacent to the permit area is <br />^w~l~ *~Ilhf"Iae~S~r~A~1l~~~~~i~i~~wll~il+h~Mw~w6 - ,- r•,• <br />
