<br />8. The following uses of water have been considered: A. Dust Control; <br />B. Sanitary Use; C. Irrigation During Reclamation. It is estimated <br />that five hundred (500) gallons per day are needed for sanitary use. <br />No irrigation is anticipated during reclamation. The source of the <br />water is from the County Road and Bridge Shop located in La Veta, <br />Colorado. Each day the operators will fill up a tank truck and <br />drive it to the site. They will return the truck each evening. <br />9. There will be no significant effect of the hydrology and water <br />quality of the area or injury to existing water rights. The site <br />generates nominal runoff and serves primarily as a ground water <br />re-charge. Also, see Reclamation Plan for further corroborating <br />data prepared by the SCS, District Conservationist. <br />10. There will be no material injury to existing water rights. <br />11. There will be no refuse or acid-forming or toxic producing mat- <br />erials exposed during mining. <br />12. The disturbance of this site should have no effect on the hydro- <br />logical balance or cause any off site damage. Due to the gentle <br />slopes and very sandy, and gravelly nature of the soil the chance <br />of runoff water from the pit is very slight. However, a diversion <br />ditch will be constructed_above the site to eliminate_ the hazard <br />of any runoff water from causing erosion or drowning out-the new <br />e~eding_during the Reclamation Phase. - - - ~~ <br />13. The construction material sand and gravel, will be processed on <br />site. A portable crusher and screen will be used during process- <br />ing. No chemicals will be used. No tailing pond, heaps or vats <br />are part of the crushing and screening process. With the usF• of <br />a D8-H Caterpillar dozer, approximately twelve (12) to fifteen <br />(15) inches of topsoil will be relocated to a pile at the south- <br />west corner of the site. <br />The D8-H dozer will then proceed to excavate the construction mat- <br />erial from the area two hundred (200) feet north of the southern <br />boundary of the site. The excavated construction material will be <br />placed on top of the non-disturbed construction material to the <br />north of the newly excavated pi.t. <br />The county's three (3) unit crusher (generating van, crusher <br />conveyer) will then be placed in the excavated area with the cru- <br />sher adjacent to the removed material. <br />The excavated construction material will then be fed into the <br />crusher by a front end loader; the processed material will be <br />placed southeasterly; southerly; and southwesterly forming an arc <br />to the south of the crusher. A front end loader will load the pro- <br />cessed material into dump trucks. The processed material will then <br />be taken to the road project sites. Once the excavated construction <br />material is processed, the remainder of construction material will <br />be excavated and processed moving in northerly; northwesterly; and <br />northeasterly direction to within sixty (60) feet of the boundaries. <br />A <br />
