RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (coot) suitable for that purpose. This material will be "inert Mate- rial" as defined by the Colorado Department of Health. The pit will be reclaimed so that a suitable grade for drainage exists, all surface runoff will be directed into the natural drainages on the site. No areas will be silted in from wash water nor will the temporary wash ponds remain when reclamation is complete. All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and to protect areas outside the affected land from slides or other damage. Backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after mining is completed in a given area. All refuse will be hauled away or disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. There are no acid-forming or toxic materials involved in this operation. The minimal amounts of petroleum products stored at the site will be done as prescribed by applicable laws. The storage tanks will be surrounded by a berm adequate to retain any fluid should a tank rupture. In addition, there is adequate absorbent materials on site to contain any spills that would occur outside the berms. The Division will be notified as required if a spill occurs. There are no drill or auger holes on the land. Maximum slopes will be within the limits set forth in the Rules and Regulations of the Board and will be capable of being traversed by machinery. The operator does not expect prevailing hydrologic condi- tions to be disturbed. We will comply with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations (as the operator understands them) governing injury to existing water rights in order to minimize any disturbance, which might occur to the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and surrounding areas and to the quality of water in surface and ground-water systems both during and after the mining operation and during reclamation. In addition, the operator expects to comply with applicable Federal and Colorado water quality laws and regulations. Any water used in the operation of the processing plants and gravel pit will come from water owned by the operator purchased from an outside agency suitable for that use. Extne~T G contains specific informa- tion concerning impacts and uses of water at this mining opera- tion. This is not a dredge facility, so there are no temporary siltation structures involved in this operation and no mining will be done within the confines of the river. if a U.S. Army 16
