information in the area please evaluate the depth of topsoil that is available to be <br /> salvaged. Please update the Exhibit E-1 map to depict the location of the topsoil <br /> stockpile. Also, please provide a topsoil replacement plan and a revegetation <br /> plan for this area. <br /> C. TCVMD 2"d Response: Based on further planning, TCVMD intends to use <br /> this road for access to a future pump station and would like the road to remain <br /> after the DRMS excavation project is complete. The access road will have <br /> adequate roadbase and gravel for use during the excavation project and will be <br /> maintained in the future for access to the proposed pump station. <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. <br /> Please describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface and <br /> ground water system and the methods thatwill be used to minimize the <br /> disturbance to these systems. <br /> A. The excavation of the Signal ? 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 <br /> collected and returned to Signal 2. If we by chance encounter water in an <br /> unexpected area in sufficient amounts to cause concern, we will work with the <br /> Division of Water Resources to meet Colorado Water Laws and administrative <br /> requirements. We are completely confident we have adequate water rights to <br /> address any of these types of issues. With respect to the area ground water <br /> impacts, there are no houses locally that rely on this type of near-surface <br /> groundwater. The vast majority of water users are supplied by TCVMD. There <br /> are other few homes in the area are supplied by a small private water system <br /> 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 <br /> accounted for in our Signal 1 water storage decree and will be accounted for and <br /> handled in accordance with the decree. <br /> The District is completely comfortable that it can supply any water rights <br /> needed for this project from its excess water rights that total over 8300 acre- feet <br /> in an average year. <br /> B. DRMS Response: The Division acknowledges TCVMD response and is <br /> aware that you are working with the Colorado Division of Water Resources on <br /> compliance with their requirements. Please see adequacy review item#9 below <br /> and respond accordingly. <br /> C. TCVMD 2"d Response: See Response in review item#9. <br /> Rule 6.3.6— Exhibit F— List of Other Permit and Licenses Required <br /> Q. Please indicate if a well permit, substitute water supply plan and/or an <br /> effluent discharge permit will be required. <br />
