<br />what the wall making up the eastem boundary of the area looks like. The pile will be mined <br />south to north and east to west to the natural grade. On the western boundary where the pile is <br />immediately adjacent to the river, [he pile will be mined with an excavator or equipment capable <br />of pulling the material from the top of the pile to the center or area away from the edge so as to <br />not push or load the material into the stream. A berm of at least three foot in height and graded at <br />r 3:1 (H:V) will be left to prevent run off from the pad entering the stream. The intersection of the <br />floor with the eastem wall will be graded at 3:1 (H:V) or to its natural contour, whichever obtains <br />maximum stability. <br />I have applied for a Stormwater Discharge Permit. I am herewith enclosing a copy of the SWMP, <br />which I hope will adequately satisfy your concerns about the stornrwater situation. <br />The NOA weather atlas states that the two-year 24-hour precipitation event is 1.6 inches for this <br />area, which if my math is correct equals 26.67 acre feet. When I have the mapping done 1 will <br />have the area of the siltation pond determined. I wilt measure it's depth, leaving one to two feet <br />freeboard, and make sure the pond is adequate. I will also calculate it fora 10 year 24-hour <br />event. <br />Mining of limestone and/or dolomite can be from any area along, adjacent to and beneath the <br />floor of the mountain making up the entire eastem area of the affected land. Economics will <br />dictate the material to be mined and the mining method. The most economic is to bench the <br />existing wall of the quarry. Quarrying down from the current floor levels is a last resort plan. <br />Where sized product will be mined will depend on further and continued geological analysis. The <br />method of mining will be benches. The height will be fifty foot unless safety dictates less and the <br />width will be a minimum of l0 feet to 25 feet depending on whether the bench is to contain rock <br />fall, is for transportation or both. <br />Location of a specific mining area can not be shown at this time. <br />Prior to mining by the drill and blast method, the operator shall submit to the Department of <br />Minerals and Geology a detailed site specific plan of the area to be mined, the height and width of <br />the benches, stockpile of ore and overburden, if there be any, together with a geotechnical <br />evaluation by a licensed engineer all in compliance with rule 6.5 of the Conswction Materials <br />Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />Blasting analysis and pre-blast requirement as outlined in a report by Henkle and Associates, the <br />original and four copies are being submitted, would apply to any drill and blast mining done on <br />the permit area and indicate that there is little chance for damage from air blast or ground <br />vibration to structures in the vicinity of this project. <br />The Reclamation Plan. Excuse the oversight, the sediment control (Stormwater) is definitely a <br />part of the mining plan. <br />Someone hit the wrong key. There is no Exhibit 1. There will be a new Reclamation Plan Map as <br />part of Exhibit E. <br />As stated before, the access roads off-site will not be reclaimed. The on-site access road leading <br />to the top of the mountain will not be reclaimed as this is established access for the adjourning <br />property owner to his land on the summit of the mountain. The access road below the summit <br />road and leading [o the faces has been blocked at the property line. Should this be re-opened to <br />access the face of the mountain it will be treated as all reclamation from the wall or mountainside. <br />
