G -4. WATER REGULATORY INFORMATION: <br />1. Storm water management/discharge: The Applicant will obtain coverage under a NPDES or CDPS <br />permit for any discharge of storm water, dewatering flows, and process water, before initiating mining <br />activities. Coverage will be requested under a general storm water discharge permit issued by <br />CDPHE -WQCD or EPA, as required for mining and land disturbance of this size. The CDPS permit is <br />the equivalent of an NPDES permit for the state of Colorado. It is not planned to discharge such <br />waters, but rather, to allow that water to infiltrate into undisturbed permeable bedrock. <br />2. Water rights /use: The landowner will provide water for mining operations from existing water rights or <br />by obtaining additional water rights as necessary from the State Engineer, and filing appropriate plans <br />and agreements for temporary use of agricultural water for municipal and industrial uses, as needed. <br />3. Waste water disposal and treatment: No sanitary waste water is expected to be generated by mining <br />activities; chemical latrines and holding tanks for sanitary facilities will be used as necessary. No non - <br />sanitary waste water is expected to be discharged from the site; if waste water is generated by mining <br />or related activities (such as wash water), it will be retained on -site, and recycled or allowed to <br />evaporate /infiltrate. <br />4. Wetlands information ( USACE, NRCS, or FWS jurisdiction): Review of NRCS maps for the area show <br />no wetlands delineated and inventoried in the area. Requests for information from SUIT were not <br />answered. A review of the US Department of Interior, National Wetlands Inventory Maps on the <br />website (http: / /www.fws.gov /wetlands /Data /Mapper,html) shows that the only inventoried wetlands are <br />the river and immediately adjacent to it. The upland area was inspected on the ground and via aerial <br />reconnaissance photography for the presence of wetlands, and none were observed. The presence of <br />several areas with seasonal water and some wetland plants along the Harris Ditch were noted; soils <br />are not hydric in nature in these areas, which potentially may be created wetlands. These potential <br />areas are in the buffer zone, where no mining is proposed. There are no features above the HWM <br />which are subject to regulation by USACE or other agencies as "waters of the United States" under <br />sections 10 or 404 of the Clean Water Act.
