plans have been developed for their handling. <br />(6) There will not be any drill or auger holes unfilled after mining. All exploration <br />and drilling will be done with small bore coring by a trained crew or by backhoe in <br />selected areas, and after discovery, all holes shall be backfilled as soon as possible. <br />No adits or shafts will be employed in this open pit. <br />(7) Maximum slopes and slope combinations shall be compatible with the <br />configuration of the surrounding conditions and selected land use. Please see mining <br />and reclamation plan for details. <br />(8) Farm machinery will be used only at the time of revegetation and will not be a <br />factor long range. <br />(9) The Operator /Applicant does not propose to import material from other sites for <br />backfill. If this activity were not expected the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety would be properly notified if this would be needed. <br />(10) All mined material will be handled in such a manner to prevent any unauthorized <br />pollutants to the surface drainage system. The rock and gravel stockpiles will be <br />located and arranged to avoid any uncontrolled runoff of stormwater from this site. <br />(11) No groundwater pollutants will be released at this site. <br />3.1.6 Water - General Requirements <br />(1) The hydrology and water quality of this site will not be adversely affected by this <br />operation. No groundwater will be encountered during mining, and any surface <br />changes shall be controlled and monitored to minimize the affects on the historical <br />stormwater runoff patterns. <br />(a) The operator /applicant will comply with Colorado water quality laws and <br />regulations governing injury to existing water rights. <br />(b) The operator /applicant will comply with applicable Federal and Colorado <br />water quality laws and regulations, including all the standards adopted by the State <br />Water Quality Control Commission. <br />(c) No dredging of streambeds will be done, and the fill areas will not injure <br />the water quality nor restrict historical flow. <br />(d) Some earthen structures will remain that were used to control stormwater <br />after mining. Reclamation requires some structures eg: earthen berms. <br />(2) No dams will be constructed on this mine site. Earthen berms will be used to <br />manage stormwater. <br />(3) All surface areas of the affected land, including spoil piles, will be stabilized and <br />protected in order to effectively control erosion. <br />
