3. Material stockpiles could be temporary or produced and reduced on a daily <br />basis and will be conveniently located adjacent to active mine areas <br />(excavation footprint) as excavation activities proceed. <br />4. There will be no waste rock or disposal areas, waste rock will be processed <br />into gravel and fill materials. Concurrent reclamation will place overburden <br />to the base of the excavation in compacted lifts. <br />(g) Dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that will be used for the mining <br />operations. <br />The existing private road accesses the owner's property at the gate located on <br />northeast side of the proposed permit area. The site land owner owns the road <br />area. The road is approximately 12 feet wide and has a good gravel surface. <br />The 30 foot wide perimeter buffer areas may be used to access the excavation <br />area. Besides the access gate area, there are no other new or improved roads <br />to be included as part of the permitted acreage. <br />(h) Water to be used in conjunction with the operations and the source. <br />Water required, if any, would be for occasional watering stockpiles equipment <br />areas. It is estimated that 1000 to 2000 gallons of water per day may be <br />necessary for watering stockpiles and equipment areas. The owner has <br />sufficient available local water rights to supply this minimal amount. <br />(i) Groundwater encountered and/or surface water intercepted. <br />As stated in Site Description (c), Groundwater will be exposed by the mining <br />activities. Any groundwater encountered will remain in the excavated pit as not <br />to disturb the hydrologic balance, pre or post mine. No off site transfer of fluid <br />will be conducted at this site including any and all stormwaters. There are no <br />wells, streams, ditches, ponds lakes or reservoirs, which will receive drainage <br />and/or runoff from storm events within the site. All stormwater at the site will <br />be contained within the excavation areas. Silt fences and sediment retention <br />berms or ditches will be maintained directing all site generated waters to the <br />excavation area. <br />(j) Compliance with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations governing <br />injury to existing water rights. <br />See (i) above and Site Description (c). A Well Permit for a Gravel Pit is being <br />filed with the Colorado Division of Water Resources for this operation. A <br />water augmentation plan will not be required for the pond surface.
