any associated drainage and runoff conveyance structures to include sufficient <br />information to evaluate structure sizing; <br />A 1350 foot access road, oriented approximately along a line running SW to NE, connects with <br />County Road 62L. <br />(h) specify how much water will be used in conjunction with the operation, and <br />the source of this water; <br />The mine is dry. There is no water or other effluents discharging from the mine. During mining <br />operations, water was harvested from onsite run-off. It was subsequently pumped into a 10000 <br />gallon holding tank. and used for the rock drills. <br />(i) if groundwater will be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or <br />disturbed, describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface <br />or groundwater and the methods to be used to minimize disturbance to the <br />surface and groundwater systems including proposed dewatering, sediment - <br />containment or chemical treatment systems, storm water run-off controls, and <br />groundwater points of compliance; <br />As stated in (h) above, surface water was harvested during the years of active mining and used <br />for drilling. Since the mid 90s, surface water has been re -directed through a series of shallow <br />channels and run over catchment basins located along the access road to capture sediment. As <br />stated, during the years of active mining, water used for drilling was captured from surface <br />drainage outside the mine and directed into the mine. <br />(j) specify how you will comply with applicable Colorado water laws and <br />regulations governing injury to existing water rights; <br />We are compliant with all applicable Colorado water laws. We report on an annual basis to the <br />Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (Water Control Division) regarding <br />our procedures for controlling/containing surface run-off. <br />N/A <br />(k) regardless of DMO status, if refuse and acid or toxic producing materials <br />are exposed during mining, describe how they shall be handled and disposed <br />of in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system <br />from pollution; <br />(I) describe what measures will be taken to minimize disturbance to the <br />hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable <br />configuration of the reclaimed area consistent with the proposed future land use; <br />and <br />Nearly all sediment from surface run-off is captured in a series of five containment ponds located <br />5 <br />
