<br />A-1£~LIO to Tim Kroceskv <br />June IS, 1001 -Adq. Rev. Ltr./M-1001-035?rout CreeA Pil <br />Page 2 <br />U~ 8. to accordance with Rule 6.4.3(c) show more detail in regard to the present topography in the proposed <br />quarry area. Contour intervals of 20 feet would be appropriate in that azea. <br />Ezhibit D-Mining Plan <br />n~ 9. Your mining plan for area "A" states that the quarry process will leave the wall of the quarry at an <br />approximate 2:1 slope. Typically when a 2:1 slope is referred to it is understood to be 2 horizontal to 1 <br />vertical. Your section A-A representation in exhibit C shows a highwall with a slope of 1h:2V or <br />O.Sh:ly. Please clarify the quarry final slope. If the offset (horizontal bench width) is 6 feet as <br />suggested, the slope will be much steeper. Provide the range of the slope steepness. <br />d40. If you elect to provide information about the pipeline (see Exhibit C(5) above), describe how the mining <br />and reclamation of the affected lands will be done in a manner that will not damage the pipeline. <br />b\^i 1. Provide your blasting plans for the quarry operation. We know that the owner of the dam agrees with <br />~ ACA Products that ACA will repair an mage to the dam. However, the Division wants to determine <br />~~q, whether there is any potential downstrEam off site hazard in the event of a weakened dam. A certified <br />blasting expert should write your plan. <br />If you have not done so, you should contact Michael Graver, Water Division 2 (two) Pueblo, 310 E. <br />Abriendo, Suite B, Pueblo, Colorado. He will also want to review your blasting plans in regard to dam <br />safety. His phone number is 1-719-542-3368. <br />Exhibit E-Reclamation Plan <br />0~ 12. Provide your reclamation plans for the quarry floor and highwall. Rule 3.1.5(3) requires that if not <br />eliminated, all highwalls shall be stabilized. <br />Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan Map <br />oK 13. Your reclamation plan map shows a permit boundary passing through the area outlined in the mining <br />plan map as the existing permit area for Permit No. M-1981-079. Your application is unclear where the <br />proposed permit boundary is in rt;lation to that existing permit boundary. It was represented to me by <br />Charles Murphy that the proposed 112 permit would oncompass all of permit No. M-1981-079. Please <br />clarify this issue. <br />p\L 14. Rute 6.4.6(b) requires that you portray the final landuse for each portion of the affected lands. The <br />Division assumes that the quarry area will be reclaimed to a use different from the General Agricultural <br />use for the sand extraction area. Please delineate on your map each different land use area. <br />Exhibit G-Water Information <br />G~ 15. Your information for this exhibit states that the Trout Creek Pit is not expected to directly affect surface <br />or ground water. According to your application, Trout Creek flows across the surface of a portion of the <br />permit area that is to be mined in Phase Ili and then it soaks into the sand and disappears below ground; <br />at that point, it becomes ground water. It appears from this that both surface and ground water may be <br />affected. Please address all items of the regulations at Rule 6.4.7 (2)-(5). <br />~~ l6. Please provide information regarding the range of flows in Trout Creek where it enters the permit area. / <br />Include the expected flow fora 10-year, 24-hour storm event. <br />
