This <br />proposed area consists of approximately 4 -acres and is anticipated to be included within the mine permit <br />boundary delineation. <br />The BLM Royal Gorge Field Office has determined that the proposed project is not a major federal <br />action and will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment, individually or <br />cumulatively with other actions in the general area. Therefore, the use of the proposed area for staging <br />additional mineral material stockpiles (to be used in association with nearby mining operations currently <br />being conducted in accordance with requirements outlined in 43 CFR 3600) has been approved with the <br />following mitigation measures: <br />1. Air Quality: The mine operator has coordinated with the Colorado Department of Public Health <br />and Environment to meet state requirements for air quality and will follow the applicable <br />regulations. <br />2. Invasive, Non - Native Species: The site should be monitored for non - native species prior to soil <br />disturbing activities and for at least two growing seasons after the project area has been <br />rehabilitated. All non - native species identified by monitoring must be treated. Colorado <br />Quarries will be responsible for Monitoring and treatment of non - native species. Periodic <br />monitoring will be done by BLM staff. <br />3. Vegetation: It is suggested that seed under the reclamation plan be native and certified weed <br />free. <br />4. Wildlife, Aquatic: Implement Best Management Practices as designed in a Stormwater <br />Management Plan, being concurrently developed with Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety (CDRMS). <br />
