._ ~• -2- <br />9. 3.1.6, Water <br />Since there is very little irrigation with surface water <br />in the surrounding area, the surface will not be a <br />problem as far as the ground water that rises when the <br />canal turns their water on. The pit is subject to <br />irregular depth's according to the amount of water ~ <br />~ in the canal and since there is nod mining when there <br />is water in the pit, this should minimize the disturbance. <br />When the canal and ditches are turned off in the fall of <br />the year, the impounded water filters back through the <br />sand and gravel. <br />11. Asphalt plant <br />Rio Grande County does not plan to move their asphalt <br />plant to the 374 nit. It will be kept at the Del Norte <br />nit and crushed material from the 374 pit will be trans- <br />ported to the ashalt plant. <br />12. Refer to Exhibit G. <br />13. Rule 3.1.5 (9) Any topsoil imported will be compatible <br />with the topsoil at the pit site. <br />14. 6.4.5(2)(f)(v) The County will work with the crusher <br />people to save all topsoil possible. All topsoil not <br />needed for the blending of crushed material will be <br />stockpiled. <br />15. 6.4.4 (2)(e) Reclamation <br />The County does plan to start reclamation on the areas <br />that have all ready been mined. - 41est and north <br />embankments of the main nit and east embankment of the <br />small nit. <br />16. 6.4.6 (Ex.F) The contour lines will be added to the map. <br />17. 6.4.7 (Ex.G) The use of this pit as a water recharge nit <br />is in the planning stage at this time. In visiting with <br />Commisioner Mel Getz, he informed me that a contract <br />agreement has been approved by the three boards- Rio Grande <br />County Commissioners, Rio Grande Water User's Association, <br />and the Rio Grande Water Conservation District. In light <br />of this proposed agreement, we can change the Host mining <br />land use to developed water resources and rangeland. <br />18. 6.4.13 (Ex.M) The State Health Department has monitored <br />our asphalt plant operation in the mast years. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />~.C~r~ <br />Fred W.
