WATER INFORMATION <br />The mining operation in the expansion area would not affect any surface or groundwater <br />systems, as the gravel deposit form a mesa about 130 feet above the Uncompaghre River, with <br />no surface or groundwater. Furthermore, the Uncompaghre River is not included in the <br />expansion pit boundaries. <br />Stormwater best management practices will be implemented in accordance with Colorado <br />Department of Public Health and Environment regulations. In general, stormwater controls will <br />consist of an earth berm being placed along the perimeter of the phase being mined. It is <br />anticipated that all stormwater will remain onsite and any accidental releases will be addressed in <br />accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
