<br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit G Cresson Project Amendment 13 6 <br />migrates downward. Exploration drill holes and development wells drilled within the diatreme tend to be dry or have low yields. Present activities at the Cresson Project have not encountered significant groundwater flow other than local perched aquifers that tend to contain limited amounts of water. The specific drainages where groundwater may be impacted are discussed below. <br />2.2.1 Wilson Creek <br />The activities associated with Amendment 13 are not expected to impact the groundwater resources in the Wilson Creek Drainage. <br />2.2.2 Vindicator Valley <br />The activities associated with Amendment 13 are not expected to impact the groundwater resources in the Vindicator Valley. <br />2.2.3 Arequa Gulch <br />The activities associated with Amendment 13 are not expected to impact the groundwater within the Arequa Gulch drainage. <br />2.2.4 Poverty Gulch <br />There are three groundwater monitoring wells in Poverty Gulch, PGMW-2A, PGMW-3, and PGMW-4. PGMW-2A has been dry since installation in 2005 suggesting that bedrock groundwater is captured by the diatreme at this location. Groundwater monitoring within Poverty Gulch will continue during implementation of Amendment 13. <br />2.2.5 Cripple Creek <br />There are no groundwater monitoring wells in Cripple Creek. There are monitoring wells located in tributaries to Cripple Creek including Squaw Gulch, Poverty Gulch and Arequa Gulch. In addition, the activities associated with Amendment 13 are not expected to impact groundwater quality in Cripple Creek. <br />2.2.6 Gold Run <br />Impacts to the groundwater quality and quantity within Gold Run are not expected as a result of the activities associated with Amendment 13.
