Exhibit B - Mining Plan <br />1. The staff understands that the depth of overburden varies from 0 to 15 <br />feet. Prior to excavating gravel from portions of the site having <br />overburden/topsoil, the operator must first strip the overburden/topsoil <br />and stockpile this material for future replacement. During all phases of <br />mining, the operator must have sufficient topsoil stockpiled on site to <br />achieve the desired reclamation. <br />B. Exhibit D - Wildlife, Water, Vegetation, Soils <br />1. Please describe the depth at which groundwater is expected to be <br />encountered. <br />2. The operator has indicated that a pond exists at this location. <br />Please describe the size and depth of the pond and the origination of the <br />water. <br />3. The operator has indicated that run-off from the pit area will be <br />impounded to prevent siltation of the drainage. Please describe this <br />impoundment in greater detail. <br />4. Will a permanent body of water be created? <br />5. Please describe the drainage to and from the pit area. How will the <br />operator control erosion at the point where drainage enters and exits the <br />Pit?. <br />6. Please provide the Division of Wildlife Mine Impact Assessment as soon <br />as it is available. <br />7. Please provide a site specific vegetation inventory. <br />4'23 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel. (303) 866-3567 <br />
