10. In conformance with Rule 6.3.3(1)(1), please provide an assessment of the need for <br />underground hydrologic controls within mine (including pumping) during mining in order to <br />maintain a zero discharge facility. (As part of this assessment, the Applicant may want to <br />differentiate areas of pre-law workings & groundwater inflows vs. new workings & groundwater <br />inflows). <br />11. If underground hydrologic controls are needed, as identified in Item 10 above, please provide <br />a plan which will be used during the mining phase of the operation to determine is there is a <br />hydrologic connection between groundwater and surface water, and resulting springs or seeps <br />(visible surface expressions of emerging groundwater) <br />12. In conformance with Rule 6.6.6(1)(g), please describe the nature of any improvements or <br />upgrades planned for the existing County Road (or any other existing roads) to facilitate ore <br />haulage from Mount Royale Adit No. 1 to Gold Hill Mill. Please clarify whether prior approval <br />from Boulder County will be required and provide engineering details of the planned changes, <br />including drainage controls. <br />13. In conformance with Rule 6.3.3(1)(0), please verify if there will be any changes to the <br />existing Blasting Plan in order to cant' out the proposed mine plan for adit production. <br />6.3.4 EXHIBIT D -Reclamation Plan <br />14. In conformance with Rule 6.3.4(1), please provide a discussion and conceptual diagram of <br />the hydrologic conditions to be expected within the Cash Mine during final reclamation, ie: <br />where will groundwater be located and at what elevation. <br />15. In conformance with Rule 6.3.4(1), please clarify whether hydraulic seals or bulkheads will <br />be needed during final reclamation in order to maintain a zero discharge facility. If so, please <br />specify how many will be needed, where they will be installed, and provide geologic/engineering <br />information needed for design of the structure(s). The Division also requests that you provide a <br />conceptual design and dimensions (length, width, height) for each structure. <br />16. In conformance with Rule 6.3.4(2) please provide itemized costs for each hydrologic control <br />that will be required during mining and/or reclamation in order to maintain a zero discharge <br />facility. Hydrologic controls may include bulkheads, seals, grout, paste backfilis, or additional <br />drilling to create positive drainage of mine water back into the mine workings. <br />6.3.6 EXHIBIT F -List of Other Permits and Licenses Required <br />17. In conformance with rule 6.3.6, please verify whether the applicant holds or will seek a <br />WQCD-NPDES Water Discharge Permit or an EPA-LTIC Permit in order to conduct the <br />proposed mining and reclamation operations. <br />
