STATE OF COLORADO <br />beneficial and long lasting vegetative cover. To facilitate sub-drainage and successful revegetation, a minimum <br />of 6 inches of porous material (sand or gravel) must remain or be replaced on the shale bedrock with a minimum <br />of one foot of overburden placed on the porous layer and beneath the topsoil. Alternatively, a minimum of 1.5 <br />feet of gravel could be left in-situ, with the topsoil layer replaced on top. <br />Also, include details concerning roads within the affected area. State whether or not the haul road will <br />remain post-mining/reclamation, and whether existing roads will be altered by mining and reclamation <br />operations. <br />EXHIBIT F - Reclamation Plan Map (Rule 6.4.6): The map(s) of the proposed affected land, by all phases of the <br />total scope of the mining operation, shall indicate the following: <br />(a) The expected physical appearance of the area of the affected land, correlated to the proposed <br />mining and reclamation timetables. The map must show proposed topography of the area with <br />contour lines of sufficient detail to portray the direction and rate of slope of all reclaimed lands; <br />and <br />(b) Portrayal of the proposed final land use for each portion of the affected lands. <br />EXHIBIT G - Water Information (Rule 6.4.7): <br />The Division believes that the operation will directly affect surface water, and potentially groundwater, systems. <br />(2) If the operation is expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems, you shall: <br />(a) Locate on the map (in Exhibit C) tributary water courses, wells, springs, stock water ponds, <br />reservoirs, and ditches on the affected land and on adjacent lands where such structures may be <br />affected by the proposed mining operations; <br />(b) Identify all known aquifers; and <br />(c) Submit a brief statement or plan showing how water from dewatering operations or from <br />runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will be managed to protect <br />against pollution of either surface or groundwater (and, where applicable, control pollution in a <br />manner that is consistent with water quality discharge permits), both during and after the <br />operation. <br />(4) You must indicate the projected amount from each of the sources of water to supply the project water <br />requirements for the mining operation and reclamation. <br />(5) You must affirmatively state that the operator/Applicant has acquired (or has applied for) a National <br />Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Water Quality Control Division at the <br />Colorado Department of Health, if necessary. <br />Office of Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines
