<br />The main drainage through the project area is the Rito Seco. The only <br />disturbance in or adjacent to the drainage will be for minor read crossings <br />' associated with the county road relocation and hauling during the life of the <br />project. Ongoing aquatic life and surface water quantity and quality monitoring <br />' will be conducted during the course of operations to ensure that the mining <br />operation is not impacting the stream. Ongoing groundwater monitoring will also <br />be conducted both up and downgradient of the proposed heap leach and tailings <br />disposal area. For information on existing water quality and quantity, and <br />proposed future monitoring, see Exhibit G, Water Information. <br />' <br /> Battle Mountain plans to reclaim project area d isturbances t~~ provide for <br /> post-mining land uses of rangeland and wildlife habitat. Where possible, <br />' disturbances will be reclaimed concurrently with ongoing mining operations. <br /> Concurrent reclamation may be possible in waste rock disposal are;i s and in the <br />' East Pit. The majority of the site reclamation will take place at the time of <br /> mine closure. Exhibit E provides a more detailed description of proposed <br />' reclamation. <br />~J <br /> <br /> <br />t <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
