6.4.7 Exhibit G <br /> Water Information <br /> Mining is expected to have no impact on the prevailing hydrologic balance. <br /> Groundwater will not be exposed, and stormwater will not leave the site. The site will not <br /> discharge stormwater or process water drainage. <br /> Runoff occurs as overland flow to natural drainage ravines in the vicinity. Stormwater <br /> best management practices such as waddles, straw bales, and perimeter berms will be placed <br /> to effectively manage stormwater. Historic flow will be maintained during mining. <br /> Consumptive use of water may occur as dust suppression on the haul road and affected <br /> areas. The operator will purchase the necessary volume of water from an appropriate supplier <br /> and transport to the site for use. <br /> The permittee will complete a stormwater management plan. Diversionary berms and <br /> impoundments will be constructed as recommended by the Water Quality Division. <br /> 6.4.8 Exhibit H <br /> Wildlife Information <br /> The property is used for grazing. And will be returned to rangeland during reclamation. <br /> Colorado Parks and Wildlife was contacted for comment during this permit application process. <br /> A response letter has not been received as of the date of this application submission. Once it <br /> has been received, it will be forwarded to the Division for review. <br /> Forage and cover for wildlife is very limited due to the arid climate. Small <br /> animals, including rabbits, foxes, etc. are found in the surrounding environment. The site is <br /> within range for white tail deer, antelope, prairie dog, various snakes, various lizards, and ring- <br /> necked pheasant. Impacts to wildlife will be mitigated through a weed management plan and <br /> reseeding all mined areas with a diverse and native rangeland seed mix. <br /> Page 9 of 21 <br />
