3.1 -Structural Practices <br />Stormwaters (precipitation) and associated sediments entering active pit and hauUloading areas will be <br />contained by using a combination of sediment retention berms, haul road ditches and silt fences (where <br />necessary). As there will be no waste rock or disposal area stockpiles at this site it will only be necessary <br />to install BMPs adjacent to the active areas of the pit, along haul roads and at site access points. <br />The proposed operations will have minimal impact on the surface and ground water resources in and <br />around the affected area. Site operations excavating into and upslope to remove weathered rock boulders <br />and or aggregate would encounter no groundwater and the operation will be a dry pit operation with no <br />effect on water rights, drainage, or the hydrology of the area. <br />3.2 -Non-Structural Practices <br />Non-structural BMPs at the site will consist of preservation of existing vegetation adjacent to [he <br />exterior boundary of [he area of mining operations. The hill/slope generally funnels all stormwaters to the <br />active operations area which will be fully contained by a berm. The ultimate reclamation for the disturbed <br />hillside areas is for rangeland and possible real estate. (BMPs consisting of sediment retention berms, haul <br />road ditches, and silt fences will be utilized to limit any stormwater impacts.) <br />3.3 -Materials Handline and Saill Prevention <br />Standard procedures will be utilized in storing and handling fuels (or any chemicals/fertilizers <br />etc...) to minimize the potential for contact with stormwater and potential runoff into adjacent areas. Such <br />procedures may include berming and lining around fueling and storage areas. Bags of fertilizer or other <br />
