Banks and Gesso, LLC landowner. The operator may also seek to permit a deep well or use of the gravel well, as appropriate, to fulfill water demands Surface Water Fountain Creek lies east of the site, adjacent to approximately 2 linear miles of the permit boundary. Natural drainages, irrigation ditches, and irrigation laterals cross the permit property. Drainage within the permit boundary is generally sheetflow toward Fountain Creek. Fountain Creek is a local surface water body but has no direct role in the supply of water to the proposed operation. Some use of the Fountain Creek for conveyance of water rights is possible, but no impact to surface waters is anticipated to result from the physical layout of the proposed construction materials operation. Foreseeable effects on Fountain Creek are limited to receiving clarified discharge water and storm runoff from the freshwater pond on the site. The mining plan submitted with this package minimizes the potential for surface water effects, No in-line mining is proposed and the mining plan also seeks to avoid impacts to other waters of the United States, such as wetlands. Wetlands have been provisionally located on the site as illustrated on Exhibit C-1. The delineation of wetlands is subject to concurrence of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Should jurisdictional wetland boundaries require the adjustment of wetland and/or mining areas included in the present Exhibits, the Applicant will submit appropriate documentation to adjust Exhibits and avoid mining in all waters of the U.S. The land surface will be exposed to runoff during mining and reclamation, therefore standard industry water quality protocols will be observed on the site. A Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) permit, implementing the NPDES program in Colorado, will be obtained when necessary prior to commencement of operations. Appropriate floodplain permits will also be sought prior to mining, as needed. Runoff that is diverted into the pit will be allowed to settle prior to discharge. Discharges from the pit will be made in accordance with NPDES discharge permit requirements established by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Sundance Sand and Gravel Resource 06015 Lafarge West, Inc. 18 September 2006
