r <br />.' • • <br />"EXHIBIT F" <br />Water Resources: <br />(1) Surface water resources are limited to the snow and r.sin runoff <br />from a relatively small drainage basin. Examination .if the <br />U.S.G.S. map marked "Exhibit A-1" indicates by the topography <br />that the drainage basin is serviced by three generall:j dry <br />gulches, and the main gulch, Jackson Gulch, originate: in the <br />eastern part of Section 16. This drainage area has less than <br />500 acres which could contribute runoff water to or from the <br />affected area of the mining operation. This area is .in essence <br />the head waters of this small source of water and pro rides no <br />constant flow of water from the basin. The historica.L Normal <br />recipitation in this area i ~_ no nat- <br />ura within the area to retain any of the runof:`.. Sur- <br />face runoff is permitted to drain from the affected area by <br />the natural drainage channels, but small check dams helve been <br />provided in a few locations to limit errosion and pro~ride settle- <br />ment. Also some french drains of either rock or perforated pipe <br />have been installed to provide for the flow of surface water. <br />Underground water resources appear to be nonexistant. The ex- <br />traction of quarry rock has not entersected any underground <br />aquifiers. Several test holes drilled in the area have not <br />revealed the presence of underground water. Four (4) inter- <br />mittent springs on the property have provided from tine to <br />time a small flow of water. <br />(2) This mining operation has altered, in some parts of tkie af- <br />fected area, the normal flow of water generated within the <br />affected and surrounding areas. These alterations have re- <br />duced the gradations of the normal water channels, elc~minating <br />a portion of the errosion and silting in the runoff welter. No <br />pits or basins are generated in the quarry to retain or conta- <br />minate the water when there is any runoff. Other than above <br />mentioned, the mining operation has no significant imF~act on <br />the quality or quantity of water. <br />(3) No water right ownership is involved in this operation. <br />(4) No permits or certificates are indicated for this operation. <br />(5) "Exhibit F" provides a letter from the Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources dated February 24, 1976 and a letter from the <br />Colorado Department of Health dated March 1, 1976. <br />Y-a~ea' i5 ~rUc,~cec4 in -~rdv~ ~.¢ASG~n~-~ V(~ ~1ki~11o(r <br />
