• Detention of eater in impoundments and pits decreases peak floe <br /> rates and the amount of eater available dowatream. Diversions of <br /> overland floe and ephemeral streams will deprive small areas of <br />eater, but will not reduce the amount of eater dowatream. Removal <br />of topsoil locally increases floe rates and runoff volume. <br />Replacement of topsoil and revegetation, ae demonstrated by Lasky <br />and Toy (1976), will result in a decrease in the infiltration rate, <br />and thus, an increase in the runoff volume. <br />No adverse effects are anticipated from increased flown and <br />volumes other than effects on eater quality, which as discussed <br />previously, will be adequately handled and mitigated. Therefore, <br />any possible adverse effects with respect to surface eater quantity <br />• would be the result of decreased vol~mea of eater available in the <br />proposed permit area and for dowstream uses. Due to the fact that <br />the mining and reclamation activities proposed by CYCC will entail <br />certain actions each as installation of ponds and diversion <br />structures that have a potential for adverse impacts on surface <br />eater quantity, the appropriate protection and mitigation measures <br />will be implemented, as described below. <br />lfethods of Protection and mitigation <br />CYCC intends to utilize numerous methods [o minimize the <br />potential reduction in dowstream eater availability and to mitigate <br />• any adverse effects, if necessary. Sedimentation ponds are the moat <br />2.05 - 150 <br />
