WATER INFORMATION <br />(I) There are no known aquifers within the mining horiwns or in the vicinity of the <br />mining azea. The mining operation should have no impact on the water quality or <br />level of the underground water in the general vicinity. <br />(2) The gravel extraction, processing, and loading out will be performed within <br />bermed or graded work areas in order to contain and collect storm runoff and <br />sediments that may otherwise be carried to neighboring drainages. <br />(3) The operator has no plans for any type of process water on site. Due to the high <br />percolation rate of the soil for in which the pit is located and the fact that the <br />mining area will cover a relatively small acreage, the bermed mining and load out <br />areas are not expected to form lazge detention ponds or standing water due to <br />storm events. <br />(4) It is assumed that the mine operator need not apply for National Pollution <br />Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit from the Colorado Department of <br />Health and Environment. However, a Stormwater Dischazge Permit will be <br />applied for. <br />(5) There exists no surface water resources within the affected land boundaries. The <br />closest surface water feature is Quagmire Creek drainage located east of the affected <br />land. This ephemeral drainage borders the affected land boundaries on the east in the <br />northern half of the affected land and is sepazated by County Road 12 ROW along the <br />southern half of the affected land boundary. This operation will have no impact on <br />Quagmire Creek. All storm water/ surface flows will be directed into a sediment <br />control structure prior to entering Quagmire Creek drainage at the southern end of the <br />affected land azea. <br />
