has occurred on the existing buffer between those two properties due to <br />hing water or flood flows which occurred previously and may need to be <br />rip-rapped as well although this is not a condition yet. No discharge <br />of water is planned or expected, however, the applicant I~as applied for an <br />NPDES Permit. The applicant has also filed for a fugitive dust permit. <br />The Division of Water Resources has commented on the operation and stated <br />that the applicant will need an augmentation plan as well as a well permit. <br />Since the site is being mined wet, no drawdown on the local water table or <br />near by wells is anticipated.

There are no, I think that Jolin Slovak's residence is outside <br />of tl~e 200 foot area between the operation permit boundary and Isis home. <br />It may be from 250 to 300 feet. <br />2) The applicant has yet to determine a means of access to the property <br />to be mined on the North side of the St. Vrain Creek, and will need to come <br />in with a technical revision to this permit once access has been determined. <br />Here are the four stages of mining in the St. Vrain Creek (indicating to a <br />map) and the series of ponds that they are proposing to create and this is the <br />
