(b) Identify any permanent man-made structures within two hundred(200)feet of the <br /> affected area and the owner of each structure. Each structure should be located on Exhibit <br /> E—Map; <br /> Please see Exhibit L, Permanent man-made structures and owner addresses. <br /> (c) a description of the water resources in the area of the proposed operation. Identify any <br /> streams,springs, lakes, stock water ponds, ditches, reservoirs, and aquifers that would <br /> receive drainage directly from the affected area. Provide any information available from <br /> publication or monitoring data on flow rates, water table elevations and water quality <br /> conditions; and <br /> Surface Waters: <br /> North Clear Creek bears approx. 4.0 miles to the east and 1,800' in elevation below the <br /> affected area. Drainage from this watershed area follows down Russell Gulch to North Clear <br /> Creek. Historically,the drainage from this vicinity contains acid-runoff/drainage from the <br /> numerous abandoned mine waste rock piles and adits located throughout this gulch. Most of <br /> these sources are not within the control of Venture Resources (ie other private property <br /> owners). <br /> The proposed operations and subsequent reclamation measures will remove the acidic <br /> contribution from Venture Resources' properties and proportionally reduce contamination to <br /> surface waters. The waste rock dumps on Venture Resources' property will be removed, <br /> processed and re-impounded in a remediated state at an offsite location. Refer to Exhibit C and <br /> D for more information. <br /> Groundwater: <br /> There are limited perched zones and no traditionally defined aquifers in this mountainous area. <br /> The site is completely composed of crystalline Precambrian rocks, i.e. gneisses and schists, and <br /> tertiary intrusive rocks such as quartz monzonites overlain by 0-24"of unconsolidated <br /> material. <br /> Ground water wells within one quarter mile of site boundary are detailed in Attachment V, <br /> sourced from the Colorado Division of Water Resources. It shall also be noted that the <br /> groundwater in this area is unclassified. <br /> Unconsolidated materials, soils, of between 0 and 24"overlay the crystalline rocks. The rocks <br /> themselves have essentially no porosity or permeability. Random, in-identifiable fractures due <br /> to jointing and faulting provide the only groundwater transmissivity and relative porosity. <br /> The Old Town mine's workings effectively drain the area underneath the site, connecting the <br /> Old Town to the Argo Tunnel via the Hot Time Lateral.
