Two sediment ponds are located at the base of the facilities area to control runoff and sediment <br />• generated within the disturbed area. Bourtdaries of the area contributing runoff to each pond are <br />delineated on Map C-4 in the permit document. Runoff from undisturbed eastern pottion of the <br />upper basin area is routed around the disturbed area in the east ditch and passes through a straw <br />bale dike before entering Hay Gulch. Runoff from the undisrurbedwestern portions of the upper <br />basin and the disturbed area is discharged to Hay Gulch afrer passing through the sediment ponds. <br />The sediment ponds have been designedto treat the runoff from the 10-year, 24-hour precipitation <br />event. Calculations used in the pond designs indicate the ponds to be in compliance with the <br />requirements of Rule 4.05.6. A small in-line sediment trap will act to capture sediment from <br />high-flow events in the east ditch. The west pond receives drainage from the bench area through <br />a ditch/culvert system and acts as the primary sediment control device for the disturbed area. It <br />also discharges directly to the alluvium of Hay Gulch. <br />Information on surface water hydrology can be found in Sections 2.04.7, 2.05.3 and 2.05.6 and <br />Maps C-4 and C-9 of the permit application. <br />Climate <br />The climatic regime is classified as semi-arid, characterized by hot suttuners, cold winters, and <br />a limited amount of precipitationeach year. The prevailing winds are from the southwest and west <br />with an average annual precipitation rate varying form 15-19 inches. The growing season in the <br />• area varies depending on elevation and exposure with a maximum of 96 frost-free days. <br />Soils <br />Soils found within the permit boundary vary greatly depending on slope, aspect and topographic <br />position. Basically, two soil orders (Entisolls and Aridisols) occupy the site, as well as one rock <br />outcrop complex. Deeper soils are found along the valley bottoms and the plateau top with <br />shallow soils associated with rock outcrops along the side slopes. Both soil orders have an ustic <br />moisture regime. Soils in the disturbed area are non-existent, since all surface disrurbance took <br />place prior to the enactment of any stanaory reclamation requirements for salvaging topsoil. An <br />area at the upper reaches of the east drainage area has been identified as a "topsoil". borrow area <br />with approximately 17,000 cubic yards of available material for reclamation activities. Appendix <br />9(4)(a) contains the soil analysis performed by CSU soils lab. <br />Vegetation <br />Vegetation is non-existent in the bench area due to past disturbances. Over the undisturbed permit <br />and affected areas, vegetation is distributed in response to micro-climatic influences. The <br />dominant vegetation in the area is a mountain shrub community. Gambles Oak is the most <br />prominent shrub along the side slopes, forming dense stands. On the plateau top, the oak tends <br />to grow in clumps with open stands of grasses interspersed. A juniper pinon community is found <br />• on the more xeric southern slopes with scattered individuals of Douglas Fir-Ponderosa Pine <br />6 <br />
