<br />Final Shoreline Configuration. No permanent water bodies are proposed in <br />connection with the reclamation and revegetation efforts at this site. The two <br />proposed wetland areas may be flooded with water during the wetter portions of <br />the year but it is believed that they will not hold water on a year round basis. <br />Averaoe Thickness of Replaced Overburden. The proposed average thickness of <br />the replaced overburden is 8.4 feet, with a range of between 3.5 and 1 5 feet and <br />is pictorially shown on Map 4, Tellier Gravel Pit -Reclamation Plan Map. <br />Average Thickness of Replaced Topsoil. The proposed average thickness of the <br />replaced topsoil will be a minimum of one foot as recommended by the NRCS and <br />is pictorially shown on Map 4, Tellier Gravel Pit -Reclamation Plan Map. <br />EXHIBIT F <br />Reclamation Plan Map <br />The anticipated physical appearance of the site following the cessation of mining, <br />is shown on Map 4, Tellier Gravel Pit -Reclamation Plan Map. This map shows the <br />proposed topography of the site as well as the proposed flow directions of the <br />surface waters on the site. <br />EXHIBIT G <br />Water Information <br />The location of all tributarydrainages,wells, springs, stockwater ponds, reservoirs <br />and ditches on the affected site and within two hundred feet of the site are shown <br />on Map 2, Tellier Gravel Pit - Premining Conditions Map. Exploration activities on <br />the proposed mine area have documented that ground water was encountered in <br />1 1 of the 1 5 holes drilled. The depth of groundwater was between 12 and 33 feet <br />deep and is encountered in areas where the gravels overlay the shale. This <br />groundwater discharges into the Yampa River to the north, since there are no <br />spring or seep areas located along the hillside to the north of this site. <br />Since this will be a wet pit, a dewatering trench will be constructed as shown on <br />Map 3, Tellier Gravel Pit -Mine Plan Map. This trench will be excavated along the <br />south and west boundaries of the property to intercept groundwater which is <br />flowing down dip towards the center of the Yampa Valley. The neighbors to the <br />east have a well.l.ocated next to their house, bu_t since the bottom of. the drainage <br />between the proposed mine area and this well is lower than the proposed limit of <br />dewatering activities it is impossible forthis action_to intercept theirwater supply. <br />Waters collected in the dewatering ditch and from runoff off the mine disturbance <br />areas will be directed through a series of proposed sediment ponds before it is <br />discharged into the receiving drainage. As shown on Map 3, Tellier Gravel Pit - <br />Mine Plan Map, all of the drainage flowing off the proposed mine access road will <br />12 <br />
