Comment: <br />24. Section VI.B.S. naee 18. second naraeraph <br />The construction of the water treatment facilities, evaporation system, and other <br />infrastructure on the West Pit cap, along with the re-routing of ditch systems, may <br />have altered the storm water handling in this azea of the mine. Also, the operation <br />of the evaporation system may result in the build up of high concentration <br />residues, sludges and waters on the mine cap. For these reasons, we believe that <br />the Facility's stormwater permit should be reviewed, at a minimum. <br />Response: <br />The current draft of the CDPS permit was developed in support of the currently <br />active implementation of reclamation and remediation activities in the West Pit. <br />H eq' <br />BMRI currently holds a stormwater permit and has meet all of the reporting <br />requirements of the stormwater permit. Stormwater is not part of the application <br />for this CDPS permit currently under consideration by the CDPHE. <br />Comment: <br />25. Table VI-4, Wage 19 <br />Monitoring is limited to Dischazge Point 001. Per our previous comments, the <br />scope of the permit needs to be expanded to include monitoring and reporting of <br />the window azea wells and seeps. <br />Response: <br />See response to Comment 10. <br />Comment: <br />26. Section VI.A.2, sage 20 <br />The "special monitoring" program should be expanded to include additional <br />dischazge points. <br />Response: <br />See response to General Comment No. 1. <br />Battle Mountain Resources.
