<br />surface water and ground water monitoring requirements prior to <br />March 15, 1981. <br />Surface water information that currently exists within the area <br />which GEC Minerals plans to mine is shown on the Hydrology Maps <br />Nos. 8 and 9, and the Regional Hydrology Map No. 7. <br />GEC Minerals, Inc. plans to utilize the information which J. F. <br />Sato Associates provides during its detailed investigation of both <br />the surface and ground water regimes of the permit area. Additional <br />explanation is located within the draft report which J. F. Sato <br />Associates has prepared, Exhibit 12. <br />Data resulting from the completion of the SOAP contract and resultant <br />surface water monitoring programs will be made ava ilable to the <br />• Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division as it becomes available. <br />Alternative Water Supply. It can be assumed that GEC Minerals, <br />Inc. will not disrupt the ground water supply within the area since <br />all indications to date indicate there are no significant amounts <br />of ground water within the area which GEC Minerals, Inc. plans to <br />mine. However, within the backflling operation, establishment of <br />an aquifer at the base of the fill itself is possible because of <br />the size and consistency of the material which has been placed in <br />the backfill itself. It is expected that quantity and quality of <br />water available for the uses will not be significantly impacted <br />because little or no water exists. If, however, ground water and <br />significant amounts of surface water are encountered, GEC Minerals, <br />Inc. will provide the necessary treatment if required prior to <br />discharge to insure that water quality within the area is not <br />adversely effected. <br />• <br />2.04-15 <br />
