King & Harris, LLC. Attorneys at Law, representing Shalom Ranch, <br />dated April 27, 2000 <br />Comment: <br />1. Rationale. Page 3./f/.B.3. Impacts on Downstream Water Supplies <br />How would the BMR! discharge impact the quality of groundwater in wells located in die Rito Seco alluvium xathin five rni[es <br />downstream of this facility?. <br />Response: <br />Wrth compliance of permi[ limitations, the BMRI facility discharge should not impact downstream classified wafer uses in <br />segment 28. Wcth surface water standards being rne! (or with even lower limits than standards being applicable), most of the <br />groundwater standards (which are often less restrictive than surface water standards), x~ould also be attained. BMRI is required <br />to comply in attaining applicable groundwater standards uruier their CDMG mining permit. <br />
