b. Identify routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the site; include major <br />downstream water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters. Estimate <br />impact runoff on the quality of receiving waters. <br />The settling ponds will be located at the lowest lying area of the property, thus <br />water will be directed towards this area. <br />18. Water quality: wastewaters <br />a. Describe sources, composition and quantities of all sanitary, municipal and <br />industrial wastewater produced or treated at the site. <br />• On-site sanitation facilities will include portable toilets. <br />• Water from the wash plant used to rinse sand and gravel will carry clays, <br />sediments, and other fine organic particles. This water will be piped into <br />the series of settling ponds where the "fines" are allowed to settle out. <br />The clean water is then pumped into the wash plant for reuse. <br />Periodically, the ponds will need to be cleaned of the soil build-up to <br />maintain their effectiveness. Wash plant water will not contain chemical <br />additives. <br />b. Describe waste treatment methods or pollution prevention efforts and give <br />estimates of composition after treatment. Identify receiving waters, including major <br />downstream water bodies (identifying any impaired waters), and estimate the <br />discharge impact on the quality of receiving waters. If the project involves on-site <br />sewage systems, discuss the suitability of site conditions for such systems. <br />Through the closed loop pond system, the wash plant water will be recycled for <br />re-use. <br />c. If wastes will be discharged into a publicly owned treatment facility, identify the <br />facility, describe any pretreatment provisions and discuss the facility's ability to <br />handle the volume and composition of wastes, identifying any improvements <br />necessary. <br />N/A <br />19. Geologic hazards and soil conditions <br />a. Approximate depth (in feet) to ground water: Groundwater exists at approximately <br />the 970 ft. contour. <br />Describe any of the following geologic site hazards to ground water and also identify <br />them on the site map: sinkholes, shallow limestone formations or karst conditions. <br />-9- <br />
