-6- <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />. III. Geology - Rule 2.02.3(1)(c)(i) <br />The Division has reviewed information presented by the applicant within <br />i the application on pages 5 through 7. The narrative description, along <br />with the topography map on pages 23 and 24 contain the required <br />information. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />IV. Hydrology -Rules 2.02.3(1)(c)(i) and 4.21.4(7 & 10) <br />The Division has reviewed information regarding the ground water and <br />surface water regime on pages 7 through 9 and information on drainage, <br />sediment and erosion control on pages 1 and 2, pages l9 through 26 and <br />Appendix D of the application. <br />Undisturbed runoff in the ephemeral drainage which runs through the <br />exploration site will be diverted around the disturbed area. Disturbed <br />runoff will be contained by a collection ditch and conveyed to a <br />sedimentation pond. <br />The Division finds that the exploration operation has been designed to <br />minimize disturbance to the prevailing hydrologic balance. Sediment <br />control measures proposed should be adequate to achieve this requirement. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />V. Vegetation - Rule 2.02.3(1)(c)(i) and 4.21.4(6) <br />The Division has reviewed baseline information on pages 9 and 10 and <br />revegetation plans on pages 21, 29, and 37 of the application. The <br />revegetation plan as presented should allow for the establishment of a <br />vegetative cover capable of stabilizing the soil surface in regards to <br />erosion. <br />Due to the fact that surface operations will be limited to a previously <br />disturbed mined area of approximately 2 acres, no threatened or <br />endangered plant species or critical or unique habitat could potentially <br />be affected. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />
