SUMMIT COUNTY LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 10: Areas and Activities of State Interest ii. Descriptions of the immediate and long-term impact and net effects that the project would have on • the quantity and quality of surface water under both average and worst case conditions. d. Groundwater Quality and Quantity i. Map and description of all groundwater, including any aquifers. At a minimum, the description should include: a) Seasonal water levels in each subdivision of the aquifer affected by the project. b) Artesian pressure in aquifers. c) Groundwater flow directions and levels. d) Existing aquifer recharge rates and methodology used to calculate recharge to the aquifer from any recharge sources. e) For aquifers to be used as part of a water storage system, methodology and results of tests used to determine the ability of aquifer to impound groundwater and aquifer storage capacity. fj Seepage losses expected at any subsurface dam and at stream-aquifer interfaces and methodology used to calculate seepage losses in the affected streams, including description and location of measuring devices. g) Existing groundwater quality and classification. h) Location of all water wells and their uses. ii. Description of the impacts and net effect of the project on groundwater. e. Wetlands and Riparian Areas i. Map and description of all floodplains, wetlands and riparian areas to be affected by the project, including a description of each type of wetlands, species composition and biomass. ii. Description of the source of water interacting with the surface systems to create each wetland (i.e., side-slope runoff, over-bank flooding, groundwater seepage, etc.). iii. Description of the impacts and net effect that the project would have on the floodplains, wetlands and riparian areas. f. Terrestrial and Aquatic Animals and Habitat i. Map and description of terrestrial and aquatic animals, including the status and relative importance of game and non-game wildlife, livestock and other animals; a description of streamflows and lake levels needed to protect the aquatic environment; description of threatened or endangered animal • species and their habitat. ii. Map and description of critical wildlife habitat and livestock range to be affected by the project including migration routes, calving areas, summer and winter range and spawning beds. iii. Description of the impacts and net effect that the project would have on terrestrial and aquatic animals, habitat and food chain. g. Terrestrial and Aquatic Plant Life i. Map and description of terrestrial and aquatic plant life including the type and density, and threatened or endangered plant species and habitat. ii. Descriptions of the impacts and net effect that the project would have on terrestrial and aquatic plant life. h. Soils, Geologic Conditions and Natural Hazards i. Map and description of soil, geologic conditions and natural hazards, including but not limited to soil types, drainage areas, slopes, avalanche areas, debris fans, mud flows, rock slide areas, faults and fissures, seismic history and wildfire hazard areas. ii. Descriptions of the risks to the project from natural hazards. iii. Descriptions of the impact and net effect of the project on soil and geologic conditions in the area. 13. Nuisance: Descriptions of noise, glare, dust, fumes, vibration and odor levels caused by the project. 14. Areas of Paleontological, Historic or Archaeological Importance a. Map and description of all sites of paleontological, historic or archaeological interest. b. Description of the impacts and net effect of the project on sites of paleontological, historic or archaeological interest. 15. Hazardous Materials Description a. Description of all hazardous, toxic and explosive substances to be used, stored, transported, disturbed or produced in connection with the project, including the type and amount of such substances, their location and the practices and procedures to be implemented to avoid accidental release and exposure and any foreseeable impacts to the environment of such substances. 16 •
