activities. No hazardous or toxic chemicals will be used during any of the proposed reclamation <br /> construction. <br /> GIR currently manages one permitted mine water discharge point, which discharges directly into Coon <br /> Track Creek under Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment(CDPHE) Water Quality <br /> Control Division (WQCD) Colorado Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (CPDES) Permit CO-0032751. <br /> We manage stormwater under Permit#COR 040242. We are asking CDPHE to combine these two <br /> CPDES permits under one permit number. <br /> The permit boundary will be clearly marked to ensure all disturbances are within the approved permit <br /> area. No additional areas of disturbance, other than what are proposed as part of this Amendment shall <br /> occur. Storm water control measures will adhere to SWMP for all construction activities, on-going <br /> mining and final site reclamation operations.This is an underground mining operation, and all mine <br /> waters will be treated to meet applicable water quality standards.These measures will protect against <br /> offsite damages. <br /> Impacts to Water Quantity <br /> No changes proposed as part of this Amendment would affect water quality. <br /> Permit conditions including numeric protection levels for unclassified ground water uses and points of <br /> compliance will be addressed in a subsequent permit revision. <br /> Operational Ground Water Quality and Quantity Controls <br /> The mine will be increasing dewatering as the mining plan progresses. <br /> Stormwater Runoff Controls <br /> Mine stormwater management is documented under Permit#COR 040242.The mine submits annual <br /> reports on our SWPPP program. As required by regulation, the current SWPPP, and the supporting <br /> SWMP containing sediment and erosion BMPs, are maintained on site for use and inspection. <br /> Appropriate BMP storm water controls will be implemented during the proposed construction and <br /> reclamation activities. <br /> Points of Compliance <br /> No points of compliance are proposed at this time but will be addressed in a subsequent permit revision. <br /> Water rights are provided through a 1/8 share in the Farmers Ditch Company adjudicated and decreed <br /> for use from mine workings in case number W-8261-76. GIR is currently in compliance with existing <br /> Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to existing water rights, under its approved mining <br /> and reclamation permit. <br /> 6 <br />
