<br />WHITE BANKS MINE <br />ExtuBiT C <br />Page 7 <br />310 through the trees and along the southwest edge ofthe meadow between aroughly-cut road and <br />the abandoned gravel pit, see Location Map, Exhibit A). Drainage when the ground is not frozen is <br />by absorption, evaporation, and sheet flow generally toward the new channel mentioned above. <br />ACMA proposes to maintain the general slope ofthe azea in grading for the lower yard. Heavily used <br />parts ofthe azea will be graded and surfaced with crushed alabaster to m;n;mize erosion and sediment <br />contribution. Natural vegetation will be left to the extent possible in the material storage azea; if and <br />when it becomes apparent that use in all or any portion of that azea is too intense for natural <br />vegetation to survive, topsoil will be removed and stored in accordance with Section 6.3.3(I)(b) and <br />the affected areas graded and surfaced with crushed alabaster. Water from all these azeas will be <br />allowed to continue to drain into the meadow below to [he southwest and west. As noted in <br />§6.3.2(c) above, any excess water from above or within the disturbed azea resulting from an unusually <br />heavy precipitation event will be conducted by existing drainages into the abandoned gravel pits to <br />the south and west of the permit area. <br />Since all surface water runoff and sediment generation will be the result of snowmelt and storm <br />events, no sepazate storm water control is contemplated. The above paragraph constitutes ACMA's <br />storm water control plan. <br />ACMA's operations will not produce or disturb toxic, acidic, or acid-forming materials, either <br />underground or on the surface. All surface storage of toxic or otherwise hazardous materials, such <br />as fuel, lubricating oils, and antifreeze, will be in facilities of sufficient size to fully contain spills <br />thereof, and in accordance with MSHA and other applicable federal and state hazazdous material <br />storage regulations. Storm water and snowmelt runoff sediment will not penetrate soils and will not <br />affect groundwater systems. Therefore ACMA does not propose to install a groundwater monitoring <br />system. <br />6.3.3(I)(j) Compliance with Colorado Water Laws and Regulations Governing Injury to <br />Existing Water Rights <br />Water is being purchased from a public water source. ACMA intends to locate, permit, and drill a <br />well within the permit azea during the summer of 1999 or 2000. Water acquisition and use is and will <br />be in full compliance with Colorado water law. <br />ACMA's operations are not anticipated to affect any adjudicated water, surface or underground. <br />ACMA's operations will not affect any existing ditch, canal, pipeline, flume, headgate, or other <br />facility or structure constructed or otherwise installed for the purpose of collecting, diverting, <br />transporting, distributing, allocating, ormeasuring adjudicated water. Therefore ACMA's operations <br />will not injure existing water rights. <br />.v.1W, 1V, 1999(13.1 P.M <br /> <br />
