• 1 1), will divert runoff away from disturbed areas, and in other cases temporary ditches will <br />be used to divert runoff from disturbed areas to sediment ponds. Specifications for all <br />temporary diversions within the permit area are presented within Exhibit 7, Hydrology <br />Information. Temporary diversions will -be constructed to pass at a minimum the runoff from <br />the precipitation event with a rivo year recurrence interval. <br />The temporary diversions described above will have the purpose of reducing contribution of <br />suspended solids to runoff and diverting undisturbed drainage from the mining area. The <br />diversions will be constructed with a minimum gradient to pass the design flow and will be <br />revegeta[ed with grasses. If not removed by mining, upon completion of mining and at an <br />appropriate point mandated in the Coal Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board, the temporary diversions will be reclaimed as required in Section <br />4.05.17. <br />4.05.4 Stream Channel Diversions (Relocation of Streams) <br />A permanent diversion constructed at the operation is used to divert surface runoff from the <br />watershed upslope of the Streeter Fill as detailed in Section 2.06.2. The diversion structure <br />was designed to pass safely the 100-year, 24-hour precipitation runoff event. This diversion, <br />located on the north side of Streeter Fill, is riprapped, as required, to control erosion. Design <br />criteria for the permanent diversion structure along with engineering parameters for Streeter <br />Fill are set forth in Exhibit 12, Experimental Practice Information. The permanent diversion <br />structures will remain, but will not provide additional contributions of sediment load to Good <br />Spring Creek as they are designed to safely pass the 100-year, 24-hour precipitation runoff <br />and are stabilized with riprap. A temporary diversion of Taylor Creek was approved as a <br />Technical Revision on November 19, 1984. The diversion is shown on the Existing <br />Structures-North Map (Map 21), explained in detail in Exhibit 17, Haul Road and Facilities <br />Modifications associated with Colowyo's Raw Water Supply Plan. <br />All temporary diversions will be removed and reclaimed when no longer needed for sediment <br />control in accordance with the Operations and Reclamation Plan described in 2.05.4. <br /> <br />4.05-4 <br />
