Rule 6.4.5 Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan <br />3. The anticipated amount of topsoil (growth medium) that will be on-site at all times will <br />be approximately 9,000 loose cubic yazds. <br />4. The anticipated quantity of overburden will be approximately 10,000 compacted cubic <br />yazas. <br />5. The Landowner has decided to have the haul roads reclaimed by seeding as per the <br />other affected lands with-in the permit boundary, therefore no letter requesting that the <br />haul roads be left in place as stated in the original application will be necessary. <br />6. In response to the letter provided by the Division of Wildlife we have read and <br />understand the concerns that AI Trujillo Area Wildlife Manager has mentioned. The <br />riparian habitat areas that are on site will be not be disturbed by the mining operation they <br />are close to the Highline Canal and this area is not scheduled for extraction of material. <br />The DOW also expressed concern for the Western Burrowing Owl that nest in the azea <br />the operator will be on the lookout for such nesting sites and will avoid them during the <br />nesting season of Mazch 15 to October 31 of each yeaz. As stated above a survey will be <br />taken between Mazch 15 and October 31 of each year to see if any Burrowing Owls are <br />present. If Burrowing Owls aze present a 150-foot no mining radius will be maintained <br />until the Owls have vacated the nesting areas. The cottonwood trees and willows will be <br />left and great caze and consideration will be given to the preservation and conservation of <br />said trees they will be a priority. <br />Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G- Water Information <br />7. As stated in the original application a STROM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />(SWMP) and a SPILL PREVENTION CONTROL and COUNTER measure plan (SPCC) <br />will be completed by the applicant and forwazded to the Water Quality Control Division, <br />State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Since new maps aze <br />required for the above-mentioned permit we do not plan on amending the existing maps <br />submitted with the original application. Upon the applicant getting the SWMP and the <br />SPCC pernut from the Water Quality Control Division, State of Colorado Department of <br />Public Health and Environment the applicant will forward a copy to the Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br />8. The proximity of the Highline Canal to the extraction activity will be no closer than <br />approximately 25 feet. The applicant operator will use a backhoe excavator to drag back the <br />material from the Canal area this will preclude any loose material from rolling into the Canal <br />great caze will be taken when any excavation equipment is with-in range of the Canal. The <br />mining operation will not ever come closer than 25 feet of the Highline Canal and the <br />stability of the Canal will be of utmost concern when mining. <br />All the topsoil, overburden and product stockpiles will be placed on-site to prevent any storm <br />water event from carrying any silt into the canal. As part of the Storm Water Management <br />(SWMP) Plan, Best Management Practices will be taken see supplement In Exhibit "D" of <br />the original application. <br />
