There should be very little surface water flow that reaches Tallahassee Creek from <br />affected lands, therefore, there should be very little impact to surface water quality. <br />2. "Affect of gravel operation on ground water." <br />(D. Burch, J. Worlhley) <br />Response -The Division believes the gravel operation will have very little affect on groundwater. <br />Only a relatively small amount of water used for dust suppression will escape the operation to the <br />groundwater system. That water will be filtered by the sand and gravel under the gravel operation, <br />before it reaches the groundwater table, and then it will be filtered by the aquifer sand and gravel as <br />it moves laterally toward one of the area streams. The water should be essentially as clean as the <br />natural groundwater before it leaves [he permit area or enters a surface flow. <br />3. "Sedimentation and pollution of Tallahassee Creek and the Arkansas River, due to inadequate <br />erosion/sedimentcoutrol plans." <br />(M. Brown, T. Rand) <br />Response - (see Response for No. 1 above.) <br />4. "The plan to pump 30,000 g.p.d. from groundwater may adversely affect resident wells and deplete <br />the water table." <br />(D. Burch, B. Kreiger) <br />Response -The applicant has abandoned [he original plan to install a well to pump groundwater. <br />5. "It is a hazard being on the mainstream of a flood plain." <br />(C. D. Fisher) <br />Response -The applicant's plans aze to keep his entire operation, except bridge abutments and <br />approaches, out of the 100-year flood plain area. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has reviewed <br />the plans to conswct the bridges and has informed the applicant that he can do so under Nationwide <br />Permit No. 14. <br />6. "The sediment control plans are not adequate to prevent damage to wetlands and the Canon Ci[y water <br />supply." <br />(T. Rand) <br />Response - (See Response for No. 1.) <br />
