<br />The March, 1985 water sample points are identified as follows: <br />• Upper Coal Gulch <br />• Lower Coal Gulch <br />• Cherry Gulch <br />• Lightner Creek <br />• Old Mine Discharge <br />These samples represent locations both upstream and downstream of the <br />planned Peerless Resources, Inc. surface facilities. The water quality <br />analyses for the various sample points are set forth in Table 3A, March, <br />1985 Surface Water Analyses. <br />9. No information was presented to identify seasonal variations in <br />re potential impacts snouia also <br />RFSPONSF~ <br />• Peerless Resources, Inc. will plan to monitor the five (5) water sample <br />points set forth in the Response to Question No. 8 set forth above on a <br />quarterly basis. Because Coal Gulch is an ephemeral drainage, it is <br />anticipated that no runoff will occur in this drainage during the <br />summer, fall, and winter of the year unless there is a major <br />precipitation event. Furthermore, Peerless Resources, Inc. does not <br />anticipate any impacts to Coal Gulch because all runoff from the surface <br />facilities area will be collected through diversion ditches and routed <br />through a sediment pond. The discharge from the sediment pond will be <br />covered under the requirements of an NPDES permit issued by the Colorado <br />Department of Health, Water Quality Division. <br />10.
