• <br /> 8. Specify how much water will be used in conjunction with the operation, and <br /> the source of this water; <br /> 9. If ground water will be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or <br /> disturbed, describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface <br /> or ground water and the methods to be used to minimize disturbance to the surface <br /> and ground water systems including proposed dewatering, sediment-containment or <br /> chemical treatment systems ; <br /> 10. Specify how you will comply with applicable Colorado water laws and <br /> regulations governing injury to existing water rights ; <br /> 11 . If refuse and acid-forming or toxic producing materials are exposed during <br /> mining, describe how they shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that will <br /> control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution; <br /> 12. Describe what measures will be taken to minimize disturbance to the <br /> hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable configuration <br /> of the reclaimed area consistent with the proposed future land use; and, <br /> 13. Specify whether the deposit/ore will be processed on-site. Processing <br /> includes crushing, screening, washing, concrete or asphalt mixing, leaching or <br /> • milling. If the deposit/ore will be processed, then describe the nature of the <br /> process , facilities and chemicals utilized. The process area and any structures <br /> must be described on Exhibit E - Map. <br /> NOTE: If tailing ponds, heaps or vats are part of the milling process, the mine plan <br /> description should address the following: <br /> Plant Facilities. Describe the chemical types and quantities to be utilized, <br /> chemical storage and spill containment and emergency response plans for on-site <br /> spills. Plant operation details should include tank capacities, operating solution <br /> volumes, sump/pump back systems , curbing, etc. <br /> Tailing and Heaps. Describe the geochemical constituents of the tailing or leached <br /> ore, the chemistry of any leachate, anticipated impacts to ground or surface waters <br /> and design details such as liners, ponds and embankments, diversions or chemical <br /> treatment facilities to be used to control these impacts , and ground and surface <br /> water monitoring systems . <br /> Drainage Control . Describe the measures used to divert upland drainage away from <br /> the site both during and after operation. This should include design details <br /> demonstrating the capacity of ditches and impoundment structures to contain <br /> operating solutions and the volume of water generated by a significant rainfall <br /> event. <br /> Maps and Plans . Design drawings should describe specific design details for <br /> • tailing ponds and embankments, heap or vat configurations , ponds and ditches, ore <br /> and tail transport systems , and ground and surface water monitoring systems , etc. <br />
