The topography on the site dips to the southeast, therefore, surface water coming onto the
property is generally from the northwest and water drains at the southeast comer. Connell
will submit an application to the Colorado Department of Health for a Storm Water
Dischazge Permit and Storm Water Management Plan. Connell will take measures to
minimize the disturbance the natural drainage course on the site. Topsoil and overburden
stockpiles will be placed outside the floodway and aligned in the direction of the flows (see
Exhibit C). Stockpiles remaining in one location for longer then one growing season shall
be seeded to reduce erosional effects. The excavation of a pit will reduce the floodplain
width as well as the flow velocities. It will act as a sediment trap and reduce the amount
of sediment potentially leaving the site.
There are some wetlands (.55 acres) on the property that have evolved over the yeazs from
the irrigated farming. These wetlands may require additional permitting through the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
