Although conditions will vary on site, we anticipate that <br /> the average water volume to be used for dust control will be approximately 15,000 <br /> gallons per day. <br /> Q. Based on the Exhibit B Site Description and the Mining Plan, it appears <br /> groundwater will be encountered, and surface water intercepted by the operation. Please <br /> describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface and ground water <br /> system and the methods thatwill be used to minimize the disturbance to these systems. <br /> A. The excavation of the Signal 1 may encounter some water being held in the <br /> ground. The vast majority of this water will be from slow seepage of our Signal 2 <br /> Reservoir located less than 250'from the permit area. This water will simply be collected <br /> and returned to Signal 2. If we by chance encounter water in an unexpected area in <br /> sufficient amounts to cause concern, we will work with the Division of Water Resources <br /> to meet Colorado Water Laws and administrative requirements. We are completely <br /> confident we have adequate water rights to address any of these types of issues. With <br /> respect to the area ground water impacts, there are no houses locally that rely on this <br /> type of near-surface groundwater. The vast majority of water users are supplied by <br /> TCVMD. There are other few homes in the area are supplied by a small private water <br /> system that has its well in the deep Laramie Fox Hills aquifer. Their main well is located <br /> over 2 miles away from the permit site. The surface water runoff is already accounted for <br /> in our Signal 1 water storage decree and will be accounted for and handled in <br /> accordance with the decree. <br /> The District is completely comfortable that it can supply any water rights needed for <br /> this project from its excess water rights that total over 8300 acre- feet in an average <br /> year. <br /> Q. Please specify if an effluent discharge permit will be obtained from the Colorado <br /> Department of Public Health and Environment. <br /> A. We do not anticipate the need for an effluent discharge permit from CDHPE on this <br /> project. If one becomes necessary due to unforeseeable circumstances, we will ensure <br /> that one is in-hand prior to discharging from the Permit area. <br /> Q. Please specify how you will comply with applicable Colorado water laws and <br /> regulations governing existing water rights. <br /> A. In general, the area of water rights and how to property address both seen and <br /> unforeseen water rights issues are the area of this project that the District is completely <br /> comfortable with and well equipped to handle properly. Our water attorneys have been <br /> consulted with in preparation for this project and will make sure we are in compliance at <br /> all times. <br /> 2 e <br />
