There are <br /> several drainages directed onto the site by the Highway Department <br /> and Railroad. These drainages primarily carry waste irrigation <br /> water during irrigation season. This water is ditched and/or <br /> placed in culverts through the mined area. <br /> • All run-off water either developed 01% the project or directed <br /> through the project is directed into the Stremme and Gates Ditch. <br /> No run-off is allowed to flow directly into the Eagle River. <br /> Wash water from the crusher and waste water from the hot plant <br /> or batch plant will be directed into a settling pond. The existing <br /> settling pond is indicated on the Mining Plan. <br /> B) Atmospheric <br /> Due to the nature of a gravel pit operation, there are certain <br /> negative air quality impacts that can not be entirely mitigated. <br /> Basically these impacts are created by dust, smoke, and equipment <br /> exhaust. <br /> There are strict Federal, State and County air quality standards <br /> that must be adhered to. It is my understandinq that these <br /> standards have been met in the past and will certainly be met in <br /> the future. <br /> These impacts have been minimized and will be minimized in the <br /> future by the following measures : <br /> 1) Using equipment in good mechanical order and the <br /> state of the art pollution control attachments <br /> • 2) Coatinq the haul roads with some type of asphaltic <br /> material <br /> The asphalt hot plant will certainly comply with appropriate stan- <br />
