• ~(~'; Under Alternative II water entering the project a'e~ ~.~ would be disposed of as in Alternative I. „~a n t return flows entering at point 8 would be i~~~ ~~~~~ point C. A suitable crossing would be provided at p to direct runoff generated fron the project area nor~rl along the railroad cut to a drop inlet located at point D. The wa±er discharged from point D would thence be dispersed along the perimeter of the orchard (area F). This large buffer area would efficiently filter out suspended sediment and absorb the runoff (provided of course, that the soil is not completely saturated at the time of the storm). The inlet at point D is a critical structure, and hence would be designed to accomodate at least 30 cubic feet per second, with appropriate safeguards ta4:en to prevent clogging by trash and sediment. As with Alternative I, areas E and F would be graded away from Farmer's Ditch, and runoff diverted to area F. _ (~) Railroad Rich! of tday • Trackage areas outside the limits shown in Plate ~ will be provided with cross drainage and vegetated buffer zones. Storm runoff will be diverted into these buffer areas in order to fitter out suspended sediment. Areas paralleling the new county road right of o-ray will be revegetated, and adequately drained. The extensive buffer areas wilt be used to control storm runoff. Where possible, orchard or similar vegetation will be reestablished on disturbed areas. (4) Water Line The proposed water line right of way (from the well field in Stevens Gulch to Drchard Valley Mine will be waterbarred throughout its length at approximately 50-foot intervals and revegetated to prevent excessive erosion. ldhere possible, naturally vegetated filter strips of an adequate width to prevent the direct intr~'nction of sediment into drainage channels will be maintained along the water line right of way. . , ~.
