Pond 012 <br />A portion of Pond 012, the embankment, pool area, and associated outfall was constructed inside <br />the stream buffer zone for Tuttle Draw. During construction and to date, this has not created any <br />adverse impacts to Tuttle Draw. The embankment and areas directly adjacent to the pond are <br />very well vegetated and do not exhibit any visual impacts from the presence of the pond and <br />associated structures inside the stream buffer zone. In accordance with Rule 4.05.18, the pond <br />location within the buffer zone has not caused or contributed to a violation of applicable water <br />quality standards. As built, the pond is capturing all surface water runoff from mining operations <br />and discharging them through an approved outfall location which is in compliance with New <br />Horizon's mine current water quality discharge permit. Moreover, during and after mining, the <br />Pond 012 location will not impact water quantity or quality as it will be removed post mining <br />and reclaimed. Finally, Pond 012 does not create a temporary or permanent stream channel <br />diversion. <br />Pond 009 <br />A portion of the Pond 009 embankment was constructed inside the stream buffer zone for Tuttle <br />Draw. During construction and to date, this has not created any adverse impacts to Tuttle Draw. <br />The embankment and areas directly adjacent to the pond are very well vegetated and do not <br />exhibit any visual impacts from the presence of the pond and associated structures inside the <br />stream buffer zone.

During construction and to date, this has not created any adverse impacts to Tuttle Draw. <br />During mining operations, the road was constructed as a temporary bypass for County Road BB <br />and was subsequently reclaimed after BB Road was restored. The BB Road Detour was <br />reclaimed in 2009, except for the portion on the Benson east property, which will remain at the <br />request of the landowner. A letter from the landowner certifying his desire for the road to remain <br />can be found in Attachment 2.05.3(3)-8. <br />Portable Pump <br />A portable wheel mounted water pump will be placed in various locations within the stream <br />buffer zone for Tuttle Draw to pump water WFC's decreed water rights from Tuttle Draw. <br />Impacts to the stream buffer zone will not occur as the pump will be moved in and out of the <br />Section 4.05.18 Page 3 March 2016 (MR -99) <br />
