(h) No water will be used in the production of the product. Water will only be <br />used for dust control and Best Managemenf Practices. It will be form local <br />sources and trucked to the site. <br />(i) No groundwater will be encountered during the mining-extraction process. <br />Stormwater diversions and impoundments will be done in a way to prevent <br />erosion and sedimentation. Care will be taken while mining to divert storm <br />water. Water that collects into the pit will percolate into the gravel pit floor. <br />Q) The operator/applicant will comply with Colorado water quality laws and <br />regulations governing injury to existing water rights. It is not anticipated that any <br />water will be encountered. If ground water is encountered, the proper steps at <br />the State Engineers office will be complied with. <br />(k) No acid or toxic materials will be used or encountered on this site. <br />(1) The hydrologic balance will not be influenced by the mining on this site. The <br />initial preparation of the surface before extraction of the sand and gravel will <br />consist of stripping the vegetation and topsoil and placing it in stockpiles for <br />use later during reclamation. Front-end loaders, scrapers, and Excavators or <br />any other suitable surface equipment will be used. <br />A Stormwater management plan will be implemented. A more detailed view of <br />the mining area can be seen in the Mining Plan Map within Exhibit "E". <br />Extraction of the resource (sand & gravel) will be accomplished with front-end <br />loaders, dozers, scrapers, backhoe excavators, or any surface mining type of <br />equipment that is economically feasible for this site. <br />This is an open pit surface mine, and mining and construction equipment <br />designed for this task will be used for earthmoving and transporting on site. <br />Mining Excavation will move north in the pit. The mining will be done in such a <br />manner as to minimize any high walls and the pit walls will be left at a 3H:1 V <br />gradient, or flatter. <br />Best Management Practices will be followed during the duration of the <br />operation at this site. <br />
