2.0 - Site Description and Man The affected azea consists of an 8.14 acre portion located within the NE/4 of Section 21, T12N, R89W, of the 6`" Colorado P.M., Moffat County, Colorado approximately I mile south of Slater, Colorado. This tract and the adjacent surrounding property of 626.07 acres are owned by J. & Glenda Sheehan. The average elevation in and around the proposed area of operations ranges from 6635 [0 6700 feet AMSL. Access to the site is by the road/ramp constructed off Moffat County Road I. The access was installed/constructed at that point by the previous site operator. The road/ramp will remain for the landowners continued use after reclamation activities at the-site have been completed. There aze no wetlands within the mine permit area. Slater Creek bounds the east side of the County Road 1 R.O. W. A site map for this SWMP is attached to the mine permit. 3.0 -Best Manaeement Practices for Stormwater Pollution Prevention The only potential pollutant sources would be Stormwater and associated sediments from slope areas above the active mine area, temporary material stockpiles. Excavation and haul equipment left onsite will be located (parked) in active areas of the site where ditches, berms, and silt fences will be used as BMPs. These BMPs will be modified as mining activities progress across the site. The primary site BMP will be berm silt fence combination which extends along the road ditch and across the entire base of [he active site/working areas. The berm is extended as activity moves across the site. The berm/silt fence provides 100% Stormwater containment of the site to the site outfall. A series of berm/fiber bale catchments in road the drainage ditch may be used as necessary. There are plans to provide for a portable crasher or screening plant and to process asphalt material at this site. All material will be handled onsite using bulldozers and front-end loaders to temporarily stockpile and load to the relevant process equipment. Process/asphalt equipment will be mobile and sufficiently bermed when onsite. Material stockpiles may be produced and reduced on a daily basis or for longer term stockpiling and will be conveniently located adjacent to active mine pi[ areas as excavation activities progress or lower along the haul road. No refuse and acid forming or toxic materials will be involved in this operation. The operation will be a dry pit operation producing sand, gravel, and soil materials with no chemicals required for processing and refuse will not be generated. Sand and gravel are basically inert materials. Only by direct precipitation will Stormwater enter the site. CDPHE Stormwater Permit requires 100% site containment.
