25. Section 5.2.2.1 briefly mentions that secondary containment structures will be installed for <br /> fueling. Please expand on this by describing the maximum anticipated quantities of hazardous <br /> materials (including hydrocarbons-fuel) stored on site,their storage location(s) and storage <br /> methods. Clearly label all hazardous materials storage location(s)on your mining map(s). <br /> Provide a general description of storage and fueling practices to prevent spills and protect the <br /> hydrologic balance. Also commit to complying with Rule 3.1.13 if a spill on site should occur. <br /> Scott will have one(1)skid-mounted steel double wall fuel storage tank with a capacity of 12,000 <br /> gallons and one(1)skid-mounted steel double wall fuel storage tank with a capacity of 2.000 gallons. <br /> These tanks will have hydrocarbon fuels.Attachment A,Sheet 13 depicts the Spill Prevention Control <br /> &Containment(SPCC)Detail for these storage tanks.Figure 9, Exhibit C4,and Figure 10,Exhibit CS <br /> depict the location of these storage tanks on the Operations Pad Area during mining. <br /> 26. In section 5.2.3 the total acres/area to be affected during each phase is unclear.When the site is <br /> 100%worked only 10.43 is affected. Better explain when and how the other 8.57 acres will be <br /> affected. This should correlate to the information provided in Figure 15 Exhibit E2. <br /> Figure 14, Exhibit E1 provides updated areas and volumes associated with the mining phases and <br /> stages. <br /> At 100%mined condition,9.55 acres will be the pond,2.87 acres will be reclaimed as upland <br /> conditions on the berms,0.7 acres will be reclaimed as a wetland fringe around the perimeter of the <br /> pond,4.02 acres will return to native conditions as part of the property line buffer,and 1.86 acres will <br /> remain as a gravel pad for temporary storage of equipment and materials. <br /> 27. Section 5.2.3.1 states that mined material will be sufficiently dewatered after 24-hrs so to not <br /> cause depletions to the water table. Provide documentation demonstrating that mined material <br /> will be sufficiently dried as to not cause depletions (i.e.,weather will influence the dewater <br /> rate).What sort of testing will take place to ensure material is handled properly?See additional <br /> adequacy question within Exhibit G.This information may also be provided under Exhibit G to <br /> ensure that no depletions occur pursuant to Rule 3.1.6 and 6.4.7. <br /> The 24-hour dewatering time was an estimate. There are several variables that factor into the <br /> dewatering of the excavated material. There is no anticipated testing for removing the material and <br /> drying it prior to transporting to the processing stockpile. Section 5.2.3.1 has been reworded to <br /> include the statement in the first bullet,last sentence, "Excavated material will be piled on the edge of <br /> the pond to allow drainage of free water from the material back into the pond." <br /> Scott submitted a Substitute Water Supply Plan(SWSP)to the Colorado Division of Water Resources <br /> (DWR),State Engineer's Office in June 2022.A copy of the application is included in Attachment C. <br /> 28. Per Rule 6.4.4(a) and (c)When mining is approaching 100%of phase 3,where/how will material <br /> be dewatered when mining occurs within the stockpile area? <br /> The material will be dewatered in a similar manner as during the 30%and 60%mining stages where <br /> feasible. The gravel pad processing area will also be used when needed. <br /> 29. Washing of material is briefly mentioned in section 5.2.3.1. How will mining occur in a way to <br /> avoid sedimentation if no sediment/discharge pond is being constructed? Briefly explain in <br /> exhibit D,then in more detail sources of water and discharges of sediment laden water within <br /> Exhibit G? <br /> Phase 1 will involve the construction of a perimeter berm. The purpose of this perimeter berm is multi- <br /> 5 <br />
