<br />' needed by means of a service Crock. Equipment will be refueled and serviced at which time <br />the service truck will leave the premises. Flammable or combustible materials such as diesel. <br />' gasoline or petroleum solvents will no[ be stored on the site. <br />J. No major drainage patterns exist in the area. Therefore no water diversions ate required. <br />' Minor drainage is nanrrally occurring ttmoff patterns that tun only during snow-melt or storm <br />events. <br /> Runoff originating above the pit or within the pit area will be temporarily detained on mined <br /> areas to allow for soil infiltration. Detainment will be accomplished by means of hay bales or <br /> silt fencing installed at the lower edges of the mined areas above natural drainage ways or <br />' draws and along the pit access road. Positioning of the detainment measures will allow for <br />sedimentation m drop out in the permitted areas only. Due to the configuration of the Phase I <br /> mining plan it is anticipated that the hay bale check dams or silt fencing will be used with <br /> daily monitoring and possible reconstruction, protecting the access road and drainage areas <br />' below the pit. Additional erosion control may be placed at the upper perimeter of the <br /> proposed pit ro inhibit erosion along the pit's interface with the existing reclaimed area. As <br /> Phase II commences the final Pit floor is being graded to more gentle 10:1 slope allowing for <br />' diffusion of runoff. Additional information regarding erosion and drainage is included in <br /> Chapter 5 of this report. <br />' K. Public comment about hauling and mining issues may be addressed to the permit owner by <br />writing Mr. Raymond Dellacroce, 17 East Arvada St., Colorado Springs, CO 80906, telephone <br />(719) 634155. Public comment may also be channelled through the appropriate county or <br />' state official. To assist this procedure, all haul units shall have the operators name visibly <br />displayed on the unit. The pi[ shall be posted according to Mined Land Reclamation Rules <br />and Regulations identifying the name of the pit operator and the permit number. <br />L. Pit reclamation will be performed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 6: <br />Reclamation Performance Standazds. The site will be mined and reclaimed in three sections as <br />' seen in figure 2.2A through 2.2C. Reclamation will occur concurrently with mining in an <br />adjacent area. After topsoil is removed and mining commences in a phased area, the <br />previously mined area will be graded, mpsoiled, and seeded. The land will be reclaimed to its <br />pre-existing classification of dryland pasture. Toe slopes in outer areas will be graded no <br />steeper than 3H:1 V. Mos[ of the pit area will be graded to blend into the naturally occuring <br />contottrs which dissipate the water on gentle slopes east of the distutfied area. The disturbed <br />' area will predominately consist of no more than 10 vertical feet of fall per 100 horizontal feet. <br />Some topographic shaping will be implemented in certain areas to enhance cosmetic appeal. <br />The final contours aze illustrated by the proposed grading plan as seen in Figure 2.2a through <br />' 2.2c. Temporary drainage diversion berms and small sedimentation checks may be <br />implemented in the permit area to prevent or remedy local erosion or silting problems. The <br />fmal reclamation grade of one mining area will be designed ro meet the proposed final <br />reclamation grade of the adjacent mined area. <br />' Once the final reclamation grade is completed, topsoil from the previously stockpiled top 4 - 6 <br />inches of the site will be replaced m a depth of approximately 4-6 inches. Topsoil and <br />' subsoil in this area are very similaz. The site will be seeded in accordance with <br />recommendations of the Soil Conservation Service.
