.°~ <br />.~ <br />Lorraine Stepenske <br />March 9, 1993 <br />Page 2 <br />b. Initial pit dewatering operations will utilize the existing <br />channel located in the south center of the proposed site. <br />This channel discharges to the Yampa River. The channel <br />was the location for the dewatering system discharge used <br />for the previous mining operations at this site, It may be <br />feasible to utilize this location for dewatering throughout <br />the life of mining operations. <br />c. As mining progresses to the west, the dewatering system may <br />have to be relocated to the west accordingly. A small <br />channel would have to be dug through the 100' zone. <br />Construction of this channel, if required, would require <br />excavation of a ditch approximately 3' to 4' deep by 4' to <br />5' wide. The settling pond could be located within the <br />100' zone. <br />d. Mature cottonwoods that exist within the 100' zone will not <br />be disturbed. <br />4. Irrigation ditches entering property at the proposed site. <br />a. The irrigation ditches entering the proposed site are <br />end-use ditches. <br />5. Topsoil stockpiles. <br />a. Topsoil stockpiles to be saved for reclamation will be <br />signed or marked to protect them from unintentional sale. <br />6. Topsoil stockpiles at the completion of mining. <br />a. Topsoil stockpiles located along the northerly boundaries <br />of the proposed site will be graded and landscaped during <br />mining activities. The landowner has requested that these <br />topsoil berms be "flattened" or removed at the completion <br />of mining. The topsoil in the stockpiles will be excess <br />and not required for site reclamation. This excess <br />topsoil may also be sold or placed "extra depth" in <br />reclamation areas. <br />b. Topsoil stockpile areas will be graded and eloped no <br />steeper than 3H:iV. Topsoil stockpile areas will be seeded <br />to prevent erosion. Topsoil stockpiles used for commercial <br />will not be seeded. <br />7. Exhibit I) - Mining Plan <br />a. Commercial use topsoil stockpiles will be located outside <br />of the pit excavations. <br />
