EXHIBIT C -- PREMINING AND MINING PLAN MAP OF AFFECTED LATIDS Find included in this file a map marked EXHIBIT C-- PREMINING AND MINLNG PLAN MAP (a) all immediate adjacent surface owners of record are shown on the Exhibit C map. (b) the name and location of all roads, buildings, power and communication line:> are marked on the accompanying map of the affected land. There are no named creeks, oil and gas wells and/or lines within 200' of the affected land boundaries. The City of Canon Ciry water treatment plant is located 100' east of the affected land boundary (due east of the scales) as shown on the Mining Plan May and Stormwater Management Plan Map. The Smith property lies within 200' of the southern edge of the affected land boundary across Tunnel Drive from the exit of the main haul road. The new proposed permit property has no buildings within 200' of the affected land boundaries. All other Buildings and structures belong to the mine operator. The Arkansas River is located directly south of the Tunnel Drive/main haul road intersection as shown on accompanying maf~s. (c) existing topography is shown on the premining and mining plan map at 80' contour intervals and the stormwater management plan map at 80' contour intervals. (d) total affected land acreage 231 acres. This includes the proposed 131 acres and the previously permitted 100 acres. (e} type of vegetation covering the affected lands-- the mining areas in question leave less than 25% ground cover, since these areas are comprised mostly of granite gneiss outcrop with steep to very steep slopes. The nominal vegetative type is pinorJjuniper with minor amounts of shrub and grass species such as Mountain Mahogany, Rabbit brush, Winterfat, Blue grama grass, Indian ricegrass, and New Mexico feathergrass. Clrolla and Prickly Pear cactus also exist in this proposed area. Please refer to the Soils and Vegetation information pages in the 1977 Exhibits I and J for reference to this area by SCS personnel site visits. (f) Water information--no surface or subsurface water regimes are present at this site nor is there any anticipated impact to water resources due to mining or reclamation s.ctivities. However, there is a stormwater management plan for the proposed permit area, which will include a drainage ditch and settling ponds. (g) The maps show the location and ownership of the following structures: (1) City of Canon City water treatment plant. These are concrete settling pond structures and the buildings used to process water. (2) Smith residence located on the South side of Tunnel Drive and within 200' o:'the intersection of Tunnel Drive and the existing main haul road. (3) Permanent ditches, retention, and sediment ponds located in five different an:as within the affected land boundaries. These structures, located on the Stonnwater Management Plan map, will be permanent structures that will be retained through the life
