<br />Colorado Division of Minerals & Geology <br />Page Two <br />April 4, 1996 <br /> <br />A. Washing operations will require approximately 1,500 gallons <br />per minute. This water will be stored in a series of sediment <br />ponds and will be recycled. The proposed operation will not <br />directly discharge to the middle fork of the Platte River. <br />Since there is no direct discharge, a NPDES Permit is not <br />required for this operation. <br />Ground water will not be exposed for this operation. <br />This operation will be in compliance with applicable Colorado <br />Water Laws and Regulations regarding injury and existing water <br />rights. <br />Reclamation of areas impacted by the wash operation will be <br />minimal. Site grading at the time of reclamation will include <br />this area without adverse consideration. <br />B. Portable concrete and portable asphalt plant are consistent <br />and compatible with current operations. No permanent <br />structures are associated with these operations; minor <br />leveling pads may be required. <br />All necessary local and state permits will be obtained prior <br />to operation. These operations will adhere to permit <br />conditions and applicable laws. <br />These operations will be contained within the current area <br />designated for processing of materials, reclamation of these <br />areas will be incidental to existing reclamation. <br />Processing Area <br />Alpine Rock Co. will on occasion, process materials in areas where <br />the placer tailings, have already been removed. Processing <br />materials in tailing areas will prevent disturbance and will not <br />alter or increase reclamation. As a supplement to the current <br />mining plan, attached is a current photograph of the Fairplay site. <br />The "second proposed location for crusher and radial stacker" will <br />not be utilized for processing material. <br />Bond <br />The bond was addressed under separate cover dated March 29, 1995, <br />Alpine Rock Co. will eliminate 15 acres in the "second proposed <br />location for crusher and radial stacker" area from processing <br />disturbance. <br />
