<br /> impacts to local or ofE-site locations are expected. All <br />' excavations will be made in areas physically separated from <br /> flowing wa ter by streambed material or temporary isolation <br /> dikes buil t after spring runoff, thus preventing disturbed <br /> sediment from entering the river. Individual mining <br /> operations will typically encompass areas of approximately <br /> 1:3 acres at any one time, and would be performed utilizing <br /> a variety of equipment, including front-end loaders, <br /> scrapers, bulldozers, draglines, trucks, conveyor be l.t.s, <br /> etc., as necessary. Haul roads built on high sand and <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />i <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />gravel bars within the river channel would involve an <br />additional area which would vary, depending upon the mining <br />location. No haul road would be routed through flowing <br />water, and to further reduce possible water quality impact, <br />all excavated materials will be hauled to the stockpile and <br />processing area shown in Exhibit "C". As scon as feasible <br />a1`ter each annual mining operation, and prior to high water CUI~,~ , <br />flows, all isolation dikes and haul roads will be removed ~~SS!~S <br />to conform with the existing streambed, thus producing no <br />more impact than normal streambed movement during high <br />water periods. Every reasonable effort will be made to <br />pc'event pollution and disturbance of the hydrologic balance <br />oi` the river system. Further, every effort will be taken <br />to assure the safety and protection of wildlife at the site <br />and recommendations of the Colorado Division of ~•7ildli.fe <br />will be observed. <br />3 <br />
