<br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit D Cresson Project Amendment 13 23 <br />7 SUPPORT FACILITIES <br />Existing support facilities are shown on Drawing C-2 and proposed facilities and utilities are shown on Drawings C-3 and C-4. <br />7.1 New or Upgraded Ancillary Buildings and Structures <br />No new structures are anticipated with construction of VLF2 Phase 3. <br />7.2 Power Supply <br />Electrical power to the Cresson Project is supplied by Black Hills Energy. Black Hills Energy has furnished power lines to its substation located south of SH 67 near the Carlton Security Access. The location of powerlines is shown on Drawing C-3. Note that actual locations may vary from those shown due to site-specific conditions and field constraints encountered during construction and installation of the powerlines. <br />Emergency diesel-powered generators are available to supply the needed electrical power for the pump systems at the ADR1, VLF1, ADR2 and VLF2 in the event of line power outages. Adequate emergency power is available through a total of 12 emergency diesel generators. In effect, this reduces the possibility that there would be the 12-hour drain down period used in the design of the PSSAs. Seven emergency generators are located at the ADR1/VLF1, four emergency generators are located at the ADR2, and one emergency generator is located at the HG Mill facility. <br />7.3 Water Supply <br />Water is used in the ore beneficiation circuit, for suppression of fugitive dust, drilling, laboratory, sanitary facilities, and for various miscellaneous uses such as vehicle washing and applying hydro-mulch during reclamation activities. The primary use of water is in the VLF/ADR facilities and HG Mill facilities. No significant changes to water supply are anticipated for the activities associated with Amendment 13. <br />Currently, fresh water for on-site use is purchased from various sources based on contractual arrangements with municipal water supplies. Water is pumped from the City of Victor’s Altman Pump Station (located on Beaver Creek), or by gravity from a surface reservoir system located further upstream. The agreement with the City of Victor is described in Exhibit G. A back-up water supply has been arranged via agreements with the City of Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs Utilities, Pisgah Reservoir, and City of Pueblo. Water supply information is described in Exhibit G. Copies of water supply agreements also are included in Appendix 4. Drinking water on site is supplied by bottled water.
