EXHIDIT C -- PREMINING AND MINING PLAN MAP OF AFFECTED LANDS Find included in this file a map marked EXI-IIBIT C--PREMINING AND MINING PLAN MAP (a) all immediate adjacent surface owners of record are shown on the Exhibit A map. (b) the name and location of all roads, buildings, power and communication lines aze 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 City water treatnnent plant is located 100' east of the eastern affected land boundary (due east of the scales) as shown on the 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 existing main haul road onto Tunnel Drive. All other buildings and structures belong to the mine operator, including the former Rencher Concrete manufacturing site located app. 400' north of the Tunnel Drive/main haul road intersection. The Arkansas River is located directly south of the Tunnel Drivelmain haul road intersection as shown on all accompanying maps. (c) existing topography is shown on the pre-mining and mining plan map at 40' contour intervals and on the stormwater management plan map at 5' contour intervals. (d) total affected land acreage is 100 acres. This includes the original 30 acres of affected land, 35 acres of amended mining acreage, 30 acres of amended land to be utilized in an uF~land diversion to address stormwater run-off from the mining site and the watershed above and to the west of the mining area, and 5 additional acres to address the proposed road easement area. (e) type of vegetation covering the affected lands--the mining areas in question have less than ] 0% vegetative cover, since these areas are comprised of granite gneiss outcrop areas ~~f steep to very steep slopes. The nominal vegetative type is juniper/pinon growing out of rock outcrop with minor amounts of shrub species such as Cercocarpus montanus, Mm mahogany, Rabbit- brush, Winterfat, and localized pockets of Blue grams grass, Indian ricegrass, and New Mexico Feathergrass. The affected land to the North of the mining zone where the SWMP sediment ponds will be located is the same vegetative mix with up to 25% cover. Again, vegetation is dominated by Juniper/pinon with secondary shrub and grass species interspersed with +rbundant cholla and other cactus species. Please refer to the Soils and vegetation information pages in the ] 977 Exhibits I and J for reference to this area by SCS personnel site visits. (f j 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 activities. There is, however, an extensive9Stormwater Manageme/nt PlaQn proposed as part of this permit atnendmenk 3
