H. If we do use any water it would be towards washing materials only for <br /> projects that find this process necessary. If we do wash materials it would be <br /> at a rate of no less than 20 gallons per minute. The water used will come from <br /> our ditch water source and the run off would go back into the recharge pit. <br /> See letter from Colorado Division of Water Resources. <br /> 1. We do anticipate dealing with water in the recharge pit. This has been <br /> established above so if we run into more water inside the recharge pit this <br /> would not be a problem. Since we would not be using any chemicals, the <br /> quality of the water would not change. The only other part of the project that <br /> we for see possible running into ground water would be after we go so far <br /> down in phase 1. In the event this does happen we will stop mining that phase <br /> and go on to the next phase of the project. <br /> J. As stated above we are providing a letter from the Colorado Division of water <br /> resources approving us to use our ditch water in a washing process and letting <br /> it run off back into the recharge pit. Any water that might be used would be <br /> charged to my water credits for the recharge of water at 1 acre foot for <br /> anything lost through evaporation or that might adhere to the sand. If we do <br /> expose water in any other place we would stay above the water table until such <br /> time that we have contacted necessary parties so as not to cause any problems <br /> with our water rights. <br /> K. Since we are familiar with the materials of this site being it is on the same <br /> property as our farm we don't anticipate exposing or finding any acidic or toxic <br /> materials, but if we do run into this problem we will take all necessary and <br /> legal action to handle the problem before moving on. <br /> L. We will slope the walls of the pit to a 3 to 1 slope and reseed Dryland seed <br /> which is formulated by B.L.M. and then return the property to pastureland. <br /> M. We will be processing materials on site. We will be using loaders and <br /> excavators to get materials and then we plan to crush materials with a crusher <br /> and also use a screening plant. No chemicals will be used when extracting <br /> materials. The only materials using water would be as stated above to <br /> wash materials. <br /> N. Primary and Secondary Materials to be extracted will be various sand and <br /> gravel products. The extracted materials will be used on roads and various <br /> other construction jobs. <br /> O. N/A <br /> 50 <br /> Exhibit D-Reclamation Plan <br /> 1. Any reclamation to be done will be done as necessary since we plan to reclaim <br /> the land as we go. Such as: Replacing top soil, replanting vegetation and <br /> making the area back into pasture land. <br /> A. This will be done in various phases. We will only be mining 2 <br /> acres at a time except the area of the recharge pit because this pit will <br /> always be there. In the recharge pit the only reclamation that would be <br /> done would be to haul the materials off site. <br />
