5. Your mining plan includes changing the course of the Uncompahgre River. Provide evidence that altering the course of the river will nnr Q ~~~ cause off-site damage such as steam bank ernc;nn n properties upstream 6,~~ y/ an owns ream f=rom the ^r.~pa~P~ ~~p a~o11. Your response to tTiis ~~.q~~- c~izen concern was that it will be addressed in your 404 permit d ~'~je~ application. The Mined Land Reclamation Act CRS 34-32-116(7)(h) also requires that you address this matter in your Reclamation Permit application.

Provide specifications for the size, type of material and placement of this rip-rap. These specifications should be sufficient to demonstrate that off-site damage from a 100-year, _ ___ 24-hour, storm event will be prevented. Your application states that the 300-foot distance between the disturbed area and the south property line will allow sufficient space for the river to establish its natural gradient without impacting the adjoining property owner. Give evidence of this by providing a report including data and calculations developed by a hydrologist or engineer versed in stream mechanics that shows the direction and extent of head cutting that will occur until the river establishes a stable natural gradient. Provide this same type of evidence for the location and extent of scouring that will occur downstream from the excavations. Show these additional disturbances on your Exhibit E Map. Explain why the east side boundary of the permit area is not planned to be rip-rapped. State why this or some other bank protection will not be necessary to protect the adjoining property from erosion damage during high flows. The Exhibit E Map does not clearly show the extent of planned rip-rte apping. Please show this information on the map. 11 Old" Describe how the diverted Uncompahgre River will re-enter the normal river channel at the north end of the Phase I excavation during Phase II operations, and show this on the Exhibit E Map.
