Mud Creek Pit Reclamation Permit Application - 112 (C) Exhibits Page 31 of 67 <br />of a spilled substance. The buffer zones are established for a variety of reasons, including protection of drainage, <br />preservation of Mud Creek and other stream bottomlands, wildlife, neighbors, and prevention of downstream water <br />degradation due to sedimentation. No discharge of surface water is planned. The mining is planned to prevent <br />negative impacts on ground and surface water and to make maximum use of existing water resources in accordance <br />with state water law. <br />9. Wetlands information: <br />US Department of Interior, National Wetlands Inventory Map, Mancos Quadrangle, 1998, as available on the website <br />(http.//wetlandsfws.er usgs aov) identifies three wetlands within the proposed permit boundary, and eight wetlands <br />within 500 feet of the proposed permit boundary: <br />FIGURE G-2.

Wetland area #9 is the upper of the three ponds, and the only one in existence in the 1970s. <br />Codes/Classifications: PABFh: Palustrine, Aquatic Bed, Semipermaently flooded, diked/impounded. PEMB: <br />Palustrine, Emergent, Saturated. Palustrine systems are lentic wetlands. These are all common in the area. <br />Because mining has been designed to avoid these areas, and mined areas are not the major contributors of water <br />runoff to support these wetlands, no significant impact on wetlands is expected. <br />McStone Aggregates, LLC 15 FEB 2008 ©WAS"fF:LINF., INC 2008 PN 5006.1-4(009) <br />
