NEWMONT <br /> GOLDCORR <br /> migrates downward. Exploration drill holes and development wells drilled within the diatreme tend <br /> to be dry or have low yields. Present activities at the Cresson Project have not encountered <br /> significant groundwater flow other than local perched aquifers that tend to contain limited amounts <br /> 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 <br /> 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 <br /> 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 <br /> 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 <br /> PGMW-4. PGMW-2A has been dry since installation in 2005 suggesting that bedrock <br /> groundwater is captured by the diatreme at this location. Groundwater monitoring within Poverty <br /> 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 <br /> in tributaries to Cripple Creek including Squaw Gulch, Poverty Gulch and Arequa Gulch. In <br /> addition, the activities associated with Amendment 13 are not expected to impact groundwater <br /> 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 <br /> the activities associated with Amendment 13. <br /> Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit G <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br /> 6 <br />
