i • site. The drainage pattern for the lower half of the proposed roadway will be essenti~clly the same as presenetly exists-- stormwater will drain along both sides of the roadway via the "catchpoint" ditches until they intersect tl~,pavement of Tunnel Drive, at which point storm flows will cross Tunnel Drive pavement an$~'$ow into the the Sand Gulch drainage channel developed along the Southern aspect of Tunnel Drive. Stormflows will enter Sand Gulch drainage just downstream from the Tunnel Drive crossing and will thence drain into ~:he Arkansas River approximately 1000 feet South of the intersection of Tunnel Drive ar~d Sand Gulch drainage. It should be noted that no measureable change in present storm drainage volume or peak discharge is anticipated at the lower half of the proposed haul road from the present conditions and no structures or property impacts are expected. The total watc;rshed area influencing the lower half of the proposed access route is less than three acres and is will not change in any respect to stormflow modeling other than the fact that the roadway will be paved. The lower half of the proposed roadway will be used not only by Tezak Heavy Equipment but also by City of Canon City personnel for access to the water treatment plant. It is in i.he best interest of Tezak Heavy Equipment Company, Inc., to use and maintain the access road including drainage considerations in accordance with best management practices subject to the review and approval of the City of Canon City engineering and management. This aspect to operational management will be included in the language of the contract addressing design, construction, operation, monitoring, and modification if necessary to comply with Ci ry of Canon City in all aspects of the road access now and in the future. 8. Tezak Heavy Equipment Company, Inc., is committing to a construction and maintenance program that will cost T.H.E. in the range of one million dollars in upfront costs and large amounts of road maintenance and environmental control maintenance to assure a safe and reasonable access of T.H.E. and customer trucks to the mine site with a minimum impact to Tunnel Drive residents. Critical to this commitment is the formal legal agreement between T.H.E. and the City of Canon City in regards to a long term road easement agreement. The language of the legal document will address the issue of exemption of reclamation of the road right-of--way as long as road maintenance and use are continued to the satisfaction of the City of Canon City. Should the City of Canon City at any time determine that the roadway i~ not operated or maintained in accordance with best managment practices as determined ley the City, reclamation of the right-of--way must be instrumented by Tezak Heavy Equipment Company. The detail and extent of reclamation will be determined by the City of Canon City. II is intended by the writer of this document to satisfiy item 1, paragraph 8. of DMG 2nd Adequancy Review page 2. with via copy of final road access document when as soon as it is available. Item 2) of paragraph 8 shall be addressed as follows: In light of review of all current oning designations now in affect for various portions of the affected lands as described in this permit application, Tezak Heavy Equipment Company, Inc., desires to continue all zoned land uses as is currently designated via the map of zoning designation for property within the city limits of Canon City and the County of Fremont, State of Colorado.
