Mr, Wesley Potts • -3- .April 14, 1983 <br />5. What is to be the life of this operation? Your statement on your <br />,! ~ Forest Service operating plan for one month of operation (10/30/81 <br />ft to 11/30/81) is out of date and does not make sense. In this regard, <br />~ what months of the year will you mine? <br />6. Your Forest Service plan mentions ':, acre of land required for waste <br />disposal and %2 acre for other operations. Not including the haul <br />~oad, this 0.75 acre exceeds the 1/3 acre requested in your application. <br />Also, waste disposal is not mentioned by you. Please clarify these <br />atters. <br />In summary, the mining and milling operation has not been described in <br />sufficient detail. Further details should be supplied on all phases of this <br />operation. <br />Exhibit D <br />1. Water Resources <br />a. What will be the consumptive uses of water in this operation? <br />What is the industrial-use water right associated with these <br />/ uses? <br />b. How is drainage control to be done on this sii;e to prevent <br />sediment from moving into nearby drainages? <br />c. Any discharge from the mine workings or point discharges from <br />ponds will require an NPDES discharge permit from the Colorado <br />Department of Health. <br />2. Soils and Vegetation <br />a. The Soil Conservation Service or other qualified professional <br />group should provide a survey of the soils and vegetation <br />for the affected lands (haul road, mill and mine areas). <br />This is required baseline data in order fora reclamation plan <br />_ to be approved. If this information cannot be provided before <br />S ~~ the scheduled Board meeting, the permit will have to be stipulated <br />to the effect that it will be provided by a given date in the <br />near future, and that the reclamation plan will be modified as <br />the information dictates. <br />b. The data given on soils and vegetation so far is not adequate. <br />Exhibit E <br />1. There is no real reclamation plan for this site. A plan should be <br />given for all areas to be included in the affected lands. This should <br />Q include plans for drainage~contro], regrading, pe rnianentJclosure of <br />~k ~ the portal, retopsoiling, reseeding, fertilization, mulching, and any <br />other crucial details concerning the final configuration of the <br />affected land. <br />
