No milling waste will be returned to the site. As stated above, the Stormwater <br /> Management Plan will be implemented to control site runoff. <br /> 3.1.6 Water—General Requirements <br /> (1) Hydrology and Water Quality: Disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance <br /> of the affected land and of the surrounding area and to the quantity or quality of water in <br /> surface and groundwater systems both during and after the mining operation and during <br /> reclamation shall be minimized by measures, including, but not limited to: <br /> (a) compliance with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations governing <br /> injury to existing water rights; <br /> No water rights for the OTRP will be impacted since all potable and operational water <br /> will be purchased and hauled to the site. <br /> (b) compliance with applicable federal and Colorado water quality laws and <br /> regulations, including statewide water quality standards and site-specific <br /> classifications and standards adopted by the Water Quality Control Commission; <br /> 45 <br />
