COOLEY RESERVOH2 AND FULTON WILDLIFE AREA PIT <br />AMENDMENT NO. I - TERONIMUS PROPERTY <br />(Revised 05/03) <br />EXHIBIT E -RECLAMATION PLAN (Continued) <br />Other aspects or standards involved in the reclamation plan are as follows: <br />No acid or other toxic forming materials are known to exist in the topsoil, <br />overburden, or aggregate material to be mined at the site. Refuse generated will be <br />collected in the appropriate containers and hauled to a solid waste transfer station or <br />landfill facility, and no waste or refuse will be disposed of on site. <br />2. At AI's discretion, one private boat ramp may be constructed for ease of boat access <br />to any remaining lake area. <br />Per the Noxious Weed Control Plan in EXHIBIT D -MINING PLAN, noxious <br />weeds will be controlled, particularly Diffuse Knapweed, Scotch Thistle, and Canada <br />Thistle, which have been observed within the permit area and on adjacent property. <br />All areas adjacent to roadways and waterways will be assessed every spring to <br />detemvne the best management practice for weed control. At a minimum, all noxious <br />weed areas will be mowed as needed. In heavily invested areas, approved herbicides <br />will be applied as needed to include, but not limited to, Tordon 22K applied at 1 pt/ac <br />at 20 gpa or 2,4-D 4# amine at 1 gt/ac at 20 gpa. Consultation with qualified <br />vegetation managers and/or county weed control coordinators will be on-going to <br />assist in the management of noxious weeds. <br />4. A final concern was expressed by an adjacent property owner was the potential <br />presence of DIMP (dissoprophtmethyi phosphate), and the affect the operation would <br />have on D1MP, if it was present. DIIv1P was a pollutant of shallow ground water, that <br />was dischazged from the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in the creation of nerve gas in the <br />1940s and 1950s. In the late 1990's the Army tested all shallow wells in the area, and <br />the Army paid for connection to public water any property owners whose shallow <br />well was found to be polluted by DIIvIP that was utilized as a drinking water supply. <br />The public water supply used with the South Adams Water and Sanitation District, <br />and information was requested by the District on their records of DIMP in the shallow <br />ground water in the area and whether any of the adjacent properties were connected <br />to public water under the Army's program. In response to this request, the District <br />supplied the accompanying memorandum, copied as page 6 of this EXHIBIT, that <br />indicates none of the adjacent shallow wells were connected to public water, because <br />DIMP is not a pollutant in the shallow ground water in the vicinity of the Amendment <br />No. 1 area. <br />
