(i) Due to the location and topography of the site, the proposed mining <br />operation will not come into contact with any ground or surface <br />water. All stormwater will be contained within the permit boundary <br />with the exception of a portion of the access roadway bar ditch <br />discussed in paragraph (g). As an added precaution, however, a silt <br />fence or equivalent will be placed along the active pit boundaries <br />where offsite stormwater flows are deemed possible. <br />(j) Water used for dust control will be obtained with appropriate permits <br />and/or applicable water rights. <br />(k) No refuse or acid or toxic producing materials are present in the <br />proposed mining area. <br />(1) No impact to the hydrologic balance will result from the proposed <br />mining activity. Off-site damage will be minimized through <br />implementation of best management practices. These include the <br />method and direction of mining, the placement of silt fences and <br />sedimentation control structures discussed above, and overall <br />operational constraints set by the owner/applicant. <br />(m) The deposit will be processed on-site, within the proposed permit <br />boundaries. <br />(n) The primary material processed will be road base and crushed <br />aggregates for use on ranch roads, driveways, septics and other <br />improvements within Continental Divide Ranch and the adjacent <br />Navajo Peak Ranch. Secondary products may include screened <br />gravel used for bedding purposes and oversize gabion for erosion <br />control. <br />(o) No incidental products are anticipated in the proposed operation, <br />Any interburden encountered will be removed and stockpiled for use <br />in reclamation. <br />(p) No explosives will be used in conjunction with the proposed mining <br />operation. <br />
