RULE 2 PERMITS <br />• Other Potential Impacts <br />Flooding and stream flow regime do not appear to have been affected by past mining operations or <br />reclamation, nor aze they anticipated to be affected by South Taylor mining. Groundwater availability in <br />the area may potentially be enhanced with the storage of water in the reclaimed pit. Colowyo currently <br />owns all water rights within Taylor Creek and owns over 20% of the appropriated amount (10.83 cfs of <br />the total 51.6 cfs available) of water available in Good Spring Creek. Thus, any potential diminishment <br />of flow will be compensated for by reduced use by Colowyo. There is sufficient capacity for Colowyo to <br />reduce their use of adjudicated water to compensate for potential diminishment of flow in the creek, <br />allowing downstream users full access to their water rights. <br />2.05.6 (4) Protection of Public Parks and Historic Places <br />No public pazks aze located within the permit or adjacent areas; therefore no public parks will be affected <br />by the proposed mining operations. Likewise the proposed mining operations will not affect any places <br />listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. <br />2.05.6 (5-6) Surface Mining near Underground Mining; Subsidence Control <br />No surface mining activities will be conducted within 500 feet of an underground mine. Therefore, there <br />is no subsidence control plan for proposed operations. The Red Wing Mine, a historic underground mine, <br />exists north of the South Taylor pit and is shown on the existing Map 31. <br />i <br /> <br />South Taylor/Lower Wilson -Rule 2, Page 121 Revision Date: 3/30/07 <br />Revision No.: PR-02 <br />
