It is understood that the proposed project involves removing basalt and <br /> gravels from a surface mining operation. We offer the following comments for your <br /> consideration: <br /> Your plans should be coordinated with the state water quality office that has jurisdiction <br /> within the area where the project is located to ensure compliance with federal and state <br /> water quality standards and regulations mandated by the Clean Water Act and administered <br /> by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Please coordinate with the Colorado <br /> Department of Public Health and Environment concerning state water quality programs. <br /> If you have not already done so, it is recommended you consult with the U.S. Fish and <br /> Wildlife Service and the Colorado Division of Wildlife regarding fish and wildlife resources. <br /> In addition, the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office should be contacted for <br /> information and recommendations on potential cultural resources in the project area. <br /> Since the proposed project does not appear to be located within Corps owned or <br /> operated lands, your plans should be submitted to the local floodplain administrator for <br /> review and approval prior to construction. It should be ensured that the proposed project is <br /> in compliance with the floodplain management criteria of Jackson County and the State of <br /> Colorado. In addition, please coordinate with the following floodplain management office: <br /> Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> Attention: Ms. Jamie Prochno <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 721 <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> Telephone: 303-866-3441 ext. 3215 <br /> Fax: 303-866-4474 <br /> Email: Lmie.prochno(c�state.co.us <br />
