i s <br /> Inert fill generated off the permit area will also be brought onto the site as backfill. This material <br /> could include concrete, soil, brick, and limited amounts of asphalt. Generally any asphalt <br /> brought in will be recycled into new product. These off-site inert materials will be disposed of in <br /> a similar manner as those generated on-site as described above. Since this material is inert, there <br /> will be no release of pollutants. This reclamation plan identifies off-site material to be used as <br /> backfill. Therefore, no further notice to the Division is required. <br /> For the maintenance of the reservoir and the private Jake in Lot C, a 12 foot road around these <br /> water bodies will remain. <br /> Water - General Requirements <br /> Disturbance of the area will be done to minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance <br /> as follows: <br /> a. The operator shall comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. <br /> b. The operator shall comply with all applicable federal and State water quality laws and <br /> regulations. <br /> C. The operator shall comply with all federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. <br /> d. The operator shall regrade all sediment in siltation structures after mining is completed. <br /> Groundwater - Specific Requirements <br /> The operation will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. The operation will comply <br /> with all State groundwater quality standards. The Baseline Resource will be operated similar to <br /> the applicants Tucson Resource. which is adjacent to this permit application, where there have <br /> been no water quality violations or problems. <br /> In the wash plant, water will be recycled to a settling pond. Flocculants may be utilized to assist <br /> in the settling out of suspended solids. Flocculants used will not contain hazardous or toxic <br /> materials. The water recycled in the washing operation will not be released into any waterways. <br /> The clays and silts salvaged from the washing operation may be used as fill material if the Phase <br /> 2A hole becomes filled. <br /> All chemicals and materials used in the concrete and asphalt plants will be stored and handled <br /> properly according to separate permits with the Colorado Department of Health. <br /> Due to the absence of any pollutants, groundwater quality monitoring is not required in this <br /> operation. <br /> 4ildlife <br /> The proposed reclamation plan does not propose to create wildlife habitat. However, the private <br /> lake created in Phase 1 will be stocked with commercial fish. All activities will be planned <br /> considering the safety and protection of wildlife on the property. Some species may be <br /> temporarily displaced by the mining activities. These species are expected to reestablish <br /> E-2 <br />
