The applicant has a map in the original submittal that was incorrect by showing two stock <br />ponds. The stock pond that is shown on the Exhibit "C" Soils & Vegetation Map that <br />appears to be located with in the permit boundary is not actually with in the permit area. <br />The stock pond in question is on the parcel of land to the east of the proposed permit <br />boundary of the Cedarwood Clay Mine. The error occurred when this author moved a <br />layer of another map using a Computer -Aided Design (CAD) drawing program to copy <br />the data from one sheet to another sheet. The map in question has been revised to show <br />the correct lay of the land. Please see the original Pre-Mining Map dated 10/15/2010 for <br />correction location and verification of the stock pond in question. <br />The applicant has produced a new Exhibit "C" Stormwater Plan Map for inclusion in this <br />application dealing with the stormwater issued raised in your adequacy review. The <br />operator will use BMP's - Best Management Practices to control the adverse stormwater- <br />related effects of the mining and includes earthen berms and small dikes (for example, <br />swales, rip rap areas, trenches and site detention basins), designed to remove pollutants, <br />reduce runoff rates and volumes, and protect aquatic habitats, and all water of the State <br />of Colorado and the United States of America. The natural channel of the unnamed <br />drainage will be the used to manage the flow from the west end of the site to the Pickney <br />Arroyo. As the flow of water courses through the pit area disturbance during the mining <br />earthen structures will be use to control and guide the flow of water to the proper <br />direction. The stormwater will be slowed down and then dumped into a Detention Basin <br />where it will be storage short term less than 72 hours per State of Colorado Rules. The <br />basin outfall which will be lined with stone rip rap from the mine site will empty into the <br />Pickney Arroyo. This process will reduce the sediment that would normally go into the <br />GRANEROS CREEK. The stock pond drainage will not be in any disturbance area during <br />the mine operation, however if the portion that go along the west boundary does become a <br />situation that the operator see is a problem it will be control and managed with earthen <br />structures and the drainage will be directed away from the growth medium stockpiles to <br />prevent erosion. The operator commits to a no mining buffer zone 100 feet wide the length <br />of the Pickney Arroyo as it passes through the site 50 feet each side of the centerline of <br />the Arroyo. <br />Please use the Exhibit "C" Stormwater Plan Map in conjunction with this section for a <br />better understanding of the site. The exhibit Map shows more detail. <br />4.19. Exhibit "S" Permanent Man Made Structures. <br />1. Under this exhibit the operator states, the only manmade structures in the proposed affected <br />area is a range ranch fence. Where is the location of these fences? If they are going to be <br />within 200 feet of the proposed mining permit area, the operator will need to submit a <br />notarized agreement with the owner of the property or provide an engineering report that will <br />demonstrate the proposed activity will not impact these fences. <br />The Operator has revised the Maps to show the Ranch fence that crosses the mine site <br />from north to south in the western third of the permit boundary. The fence is not to be <br />salvaged post mining the landowner is the owner of the fence. The applicant/operator has <br />sent a agreement letter to the Landowner for review and notarized signature. The <br />agreement is enclosed with this review of adequacy response. The owner of the structures <br />with in 200 feet has signed the the agreement and it is notarized. <br />i
