No surface water is identified at the site. As discussed in Appendix B, a <br /> stormwater permit is being applied for with the Colorado Water Quality Control <br /> Division. <br /> Our stormwater management plan (SWMP) is to install BMP's before work begins <br /> and to be inspected every 2 weeks or after run off events, whichever occurs first. <br /> The operation will not use Dump-Trucks, instead, Covered super sacks will be <br /> hauled on small diesel trucks with flat racks, this will prevent the possibility of <br /> spills of spills of any sort in between sites. The operators at the mine site will be <br /> trained how to handle spills, if they were to occur and how collect the material, <br /> they will sign affidavits noting such training. Road Management will be a part of <br /> our operation as well to minimize the likelihood of a spill. <br /> Removing ore in patterns and maintaining a 1:3 slope to minimize erosion, and if <br /> needed dikes and ditches will be placed and monitored after construction as part <br /> of standard operation and maintenance activities to detect excessive seepage. <br /> Should a zone of excessive seepage be identified, sheet pile, grouting, or other <br /> seepage control technologies can be installed with the dike in place.Alternatively, <br /> a low-permeability material could be compacted in a trench excavated near the <br /> toe of the dike without disturbing the dike. Construct cut-and-fill slopes at stable <br /> angles to prevent sloughing and other subsequent erosion. A 1:3 slope is the <br /> maximum recommended for stable soils. Our operation will work closely with the <br /> Colorado water Quality Control Division to maintain standards and prevent <br /> seepage. <br /> Stabilize erodible, exposed soils by seeding, compacting, rip rapping, benching, <br /> mulching or another suitable means prior to fall or spring runoff. <br /> At the toe of potentially erodible fill slopes, pile two feet of slash in a row parallel <br /> to the road to trap sediment. When completed this practice can effectively <br /> control sediment movement. Limit the height, width and length of these "slash <br /> filter windrows" so as not to impede wildlife movement. • Geo-textile silt fences <br /> can be used as sediment traps until more permanent measures such as reseeding <br /> become effective. Remove temporary traps when no longer needed. * Avoid <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
