The predicted Spoil Spring 4 from the New Horizon #2 Mine will discharge into the minor tributary <br />to Tuttle Draw, located immediately south of the western edge of the mine area. This tributary <br />enters Tuttle Draw less than 1 mile downstream. Tuttle Draw enters the San Miguel River <br />approximately 2 miles to the southwest. <br />Sample site SW -N108 is located in Calamity Draw immediately upstream of any influence from the <br />mine. Sample site SW-N1 is located in Tuttle Draw immediately upstream of any influence from the <br />mine. Sample data over the past 12 years from these sites has shown that the TDS of the waters <br />drops significantly when irrigation is active in the area. Therefore, the impacts to the receiving <br />waters will be studied for both cases, with and without irrigation. The irrigation case corresponds <br />to the September /October time period when flows are fairly low in the San Miguel River. The non - <br />irrigation period corresponds to March /April when flows in the San Miguel are usually at peak. This <br />is shown on Table 2.05.6(3) -4. <br />Revised September 2014 (TR -64) 2.05.6(3) -40 <br />
