enter the pad. Sanitary facilities would be required on location. Any fuel spills would be immediately reported to the authorized officer, and copies of all characterization and remediation spill data and reports would be filed within two days with the authorized officer. Spill reporting, containment and cleanup would occur immediately and removed to the nearest approved landfill. No Action Alternative -There would be no impacts to hazardous or solid wastes. WATER QUALITY, SURFACE AND GROUND (includes a finding on Standard 5) Affected Environment: No perennial water resources exist within the project area. Several dry washes and intermittent stream channels occur throughout the Plan area. The hydrological regime in the vicinity of the project area is such that surface water flows only in response to significant precipitation events. Occasionally, ephemeral waterways are fed by snowmelt, however, thunderstorms are the primary source of flow in these washes. Ephemeral drainages in the project area generally discharge toward La Sal Creek. Primary surface water resources in the vicinity of the project area include La Sal Creek and the Dolores River. The perennial stream systems (Dolores River and La Sal Creek) support aquatic life, typically warm water fisheries. The table below lists the Colorado State Water Quality classifications for the surface waters that receive drainage from the subject area.

Along with the stream designations and classifications listed in the table above are numeric and narrative standards. For example, the Recreation la classification limits Fecal Coliform to 200 colonies/100 ml, and E. coli to 126 colonies/100m1. The Aquatic Life Warm and Cold I are waters that currently are capable of sustaining a wide variety of water biota, including sensitive species, or could sustain such biota but for correctable water quality conditions. The Aquatic life Cold and Warm 2 are waters that are not capable of sustaining a wide variety of 15
