'11-� <br /> NEWMONT <br /> GOLDCORP <br /> 1 INTRODUCTION <br /> As discussed in Exhibit D and under this amendment, the Schist Island mine area and Squaw <br /> Gulch Overburden Storage Area (SGOSA) will be modified to accommodate construction of the <br /> Phase 3 of the Valley Leach Facility 2 (VLF2). These modifications are not anticipated to <br /> significantly change the impacts to surface or groundwater systems that are contemplated by <br /> previous permit amendments. This exhibit has been updated, where necessary, to accommodate <br /> VLF2 Phase 3 modifications. <br /> The following Exhibit G provides water information for the Cresson project including: <br /> 1. Location of water courses, wells, springs, and other features on the affected lands and <br /> adjacent lands that may be impacted by Amendment 13 activities (See Figures G-1 and <br /> G-2) and the programs in pace to monitor and protect surface and groundwater from <br /> current and future operations; <br /> 2. An estimate of the water requirements including flow rates and annual volumes for the <br /> mining and reclamation phases of the project; <br /> 3. The projected amount from each of the water supply sources that will supply water to the <br /> operation and reclamation; and <br /> 4. Discussion of the state of Colorado Discharge Permit System permits in place for the site. <br /> Note that baseline surface water and groundwater data have been provided in prior submittals. <br /> Quarterly data are provided to the Division on Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) on a <br /> regular basis and the data from the last 5 quarters are provided in Appendix 6 of this Amendment <br /> 13 permit. <br /> Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V) maintains a series of enhanced <br /> management ponds(EMPs)to control surface runoff from active operations and actively disturbed <br /> areas to protect surface water quality. CC&V also maintains three discharge permits to ensure <br /> water discharged off site satisfies water quality standards and maintains a current hydrogeologic <br /> model that demonstrates deep-diatreme groundwater is protected through the neutralizing <br /> capacity from carbonate rocks at depth. Lastly, CC&V maintains a monitoring program to monitor <br /> key components of the operation to protect surface water and groundwater systems. Various <br /> plans have been developed by CC&V to address the management of surface water and <br /> groundwater systems. <br /> The following sections describe the different surface water drainages affected by the operation, <br /> provides an overview of the hydrogeological model used to protect groundwater, and describes <br /> Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit G <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br /> 1 <br />
