<br />be directed into a sediment pond located near the base of the slope and treated <br />before it is discharged into the drainage. Phase I Mine block which is located to <br />the north of the natural gas pipe line, will have all runoff waters treated in a <br />sediment pond constructed in an area without gravel located in the northeast <br />corner of the proposed mine area. As shown on this map, all drainage waters <br />running along the north and east side of this mine area will be directed through <br />this sediment pond before being discharged into the drainage. <br />Phase II Mine Area, located to the south of the natural gas line, will have runoff <br />waters treated in a sediment pond which will be constructed in the northeast <br />corner of this mine block, and located to the east of the proposed mine access <br />road. As depicted on Map 3, Tellier Gravel Pit -Mine Plan Map, a diversion ditch <br />will be constructed along the east side of the haul road to intercept all surface <br />runoff leaving the mine area. <br />The peak operational demands for water to be used for dust suppression is <br />estimated at approximately 3,000 to 4,000 gallons per day during the summer. <br />This water will be obtained from the water collected in the dewatering trench, the <br />sediment ponds and if necessary from the Tellier Spring. <br />The applicant will be applying for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination <br />System (NPDES) permit with the Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality <br />Control Division, within the next few days. <br />EXHIBIT H <br />Wildlife Information <br />Enclosed are two letters written by the local District Wildlife Managers of the <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife, which describe the wildlife resources of this site. All <br />of the recommendations they have made with respect to reclamation and <br />revegetation have been incorporated into this permit application. In on-site <br />meetings held with Ms. Elizabeth Miller, the District Wildlife Manager, with the <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife, a formal request was made for a wildlife statement <br />relative to this site. A copy of her report and recommendations for reclamation are <br />enclosed. Examination of the Colorado Division of Wildlife WRIS mapping for this <br />area reveals no critical or important wildlife habitats in the vicinity of this <br />proposed gravel pit. Given the fact that virtually all of the disturbance associated <br />with this action will be restricted to converted cropland and pasture lands where <br />all of the native vegetation has been removed, there is very little chance this <br />action will have any adverse impact on wildlife. <br />EXHIBIT I <br />Soils Information <br />13 <br />
