6.4. 7 Exhibit G <br /> Water Information <br /> The proposed permit boundary encompasses Badger Hills in eastern Pueblo <br /> County. This area is a semi-arid region of Colorado. Mining is expected to have no <br /> impact on the prevailing hydrologic balance. Groundwater will not be exposed; <br /> therefore, a Substitute Water Supply Plan will not be necessary. <br /> The site will operate under a Colorado Department of Public Health and <br /> Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality Control Division stormwater discharge permit. <br /> Fremont will complete a stormwater management plan and submit a stormwater <br /> discharge application. Best Management Practices will be implemented to minimize <br /> erosion and prevent co-mingling of stormwater flows. If necessary, discharge outlets <br /> will be constructed with straw bales or straw waddles. Surface water will be <br /> detained within mining disturbance less than 72 hours. <br /> Runoff occurs as overland flow to shallow depressions in the vicinity. <br /> Waddles, straw bales, and perimeter berms will be placed to effectively manage <br /> stormwater. Historic flow will be maintained during mining. <br /> Consumptive use of water may occur as dust suppression on the haul road <br /> and working face. The operator will purchase the necessary volume of water from <br /> an appropriate supplier. The amount required for dust suppression is undetermined <br /> at this time. <br /> 9 <br />
