L1 <br />In summary, except for short sections of South Lake Gulch Road and Ridge Road, the Castle <br />Rock Quarry will utilize the exact same truck routes as the Ditmazs Quarry. The vast majority of <br />' trucks will travel South Lake Gulch Road which recently underwent paving and safety <br />improvements. <br />1.E.5 Wildlife <br />The site is located within a Wildlife Habitat Value area. CMI has contacted the Colorado <br />' Division of Wildlife to determine the extent of the impact to wildlife habitat. Extraction of the <br />rhyolite will occur on the grassed upland azea. Although the mine will temporarily displace <br />' wildlife from the areas directly affected, the extent of the temporary impact will be offset by <br />reclamation. <br />' Refer to Section 3.H.1 and Appendix 3 for more information on wildlife. <br />1.E.6 Historic, Archaeologic, and Paleontologic Resources <br />' The mining site itself contains no significant historical resources as identified on the Historic <br />Resources Map of the Douglas County Master Plan. In addition, contact with the State Historic <br />' Preservation officer indicates there are no known historic or archaeologic resources on the site. <br />The State Archaeologist will be notified if any artifacts are uncovered during the overburden <br />removal process. <br />' 1.E.7 Air Quality <br />This operation will have an Air Pollution Emissions Notification (ADEN) from the Colorado <br />Department of Health. This permit will regulate the dust and emissions during the mining <br />operation. Since the rate of production at the Castle Rock Quarry operation is expected to be <br />similaz to the Ditmars operation, the closing of the Ditmazs operation and the opening of this <br />operation will not increase air emissions. Refer to Section 3.C.2 for air quality control measures. <br />' 1.E.8 Water Quality <br />The operation is located within the Cherry Creek basin. Because the mining activity is depressed <br />within the upland, runoff can be Basil}' controlled. Included in this report is a Phase III Drainage <br />Study (Appendix 6) which outlines how water quality will be preserved and erosion controlled. <br />' No hzzazdous or foreign materials will be used in the mining operation, therefore, groundwater <br />contamination is not an issue. Fuel storage on-site will be in accordance with Colorado <br />Department of Health regulations. fur application meets all adopted water quality goals and <br />standazds of the State Health Department. <br /> <br />1 <br />
