The 'two drainage ditches to <br />and have handled interior <br />indicates the ditches will be <br />and then after mining will be <br />givers a typical section for <br />deep with side slopes of 2:1. <br />the inspection of the existing <br />owner about flow conditions in <br />be relocated are within the property <br />site drainage. The mining plan <br />temporarily relocated during mining <br />directed into the lake. Exhibit C <br />the new drainage ditch as five feet <br />These ditches were sized based on <br />ditch and discussions with the land <br />the ditches over the years. <br />Since these drainage ditches will be temporary in nature and also <br />since any overflow during mining will be directed into either the <br />dewatering trench or the pit area itself, further need for <br />specific design seemed unnecessary. <br />2. The floodway and flood fringe areas were obtained from information <br />from the Federal Insurance Risk maps. These floodplain <br />designations are based on a 100-year flood. <br />Water Information (Exhibit GI <br />Our observation of the reclamation plan prepared by C & M <br />Companies is that it is very sensitive to the creation of wildlife <br />habitat. The undulating shoreline and the introduction of three <br />islands will greatly enhance wildlife opportunities after <br />reclamation. In terms of the hydrologic configuration, the lake <br />is located at the southerly and low end of the property. The <br />grading and the final reclamation plan will direct water toward <br />this lake. The lake seems to be well designed by C & M Companies <br />and should function property. In addition, the land owner has <br />approved the lake configuration. <br />Wildlife Information (Exhibit H) <br />1. To our knowledge a questionnaire from the Division of Wildlife <br />does not exist. Inspection of the site will reveal that it has <br />been intensively grazed over the years. There is very limited <br />cover on the property itself for wildlife. Only about 80 acres <br />are in row crops such as corn, alfalfa, and barley. Most of the <br />trees on the property are located either along the Poudre River or <br />in other areas that will not be disturbed, such as near the farm <br />house. <br />
