<br />-~- <br />8. Specify how much water will be used in conjunction with the operation, and <br />the source of this water; <br />9. If ground water will be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or <br />disturbed, describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface <br />or ground water and the methods to be used to minimize disturbance to the surface <br />and ground water systems including proposed dewatering, sediment-containment or <br />chemical treatment systems; <br />10. Specify how you will comply with applicahie Colorado water laws and <br />regulations governing injury to existing water rights; <br />11. If refuse and acid-forming or toxic producing materials are exposed during <br />mining, describe how they shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that will <br />control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution; <br />12. Describe what measures will be taken to minimize disturbance to the <br />hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable configuration <br />of the reclaimed area consistent with the proposed future land use; and, <br />13. Specify whether the deposit/ore will be processed on-site. Processing <br />includes crushing, screening, washing, concrete or asphalt mixing, leaching or <br />milling. If the deposit/ore will be processed, then describe the nature of the <br />process, facilities and chemicals utilized. The process area and any structures <br />must be described on Exhibit E - Map. <br />NOTE: If tailing ponds, heaps or vats are part of the milling process, the mine plan <br />description should address the following: <br />Plant Facilities. Describe the chemical types and quantities to be utilized, <br />chert~ical storage and spill containment and emergency response plans for on-site <br />spills. Plant operation details should include tank capacities, operating solution <br />volumes, sump/pump back systems, curbing, etc. <br />Tailing and Heaps. Describe the geochemical constituents of the tailing or leached <br />ore, the chemistry of any leachate, anticipated impacts to ground or surface waters <br />and design details such as liners, ponds and embankments, diversions or chemical <br />treatment facilities to be used to control these impacts, and ground and surface <br />water monitoring systems. <br />Drainage Control. Describe the measures used to divert upland drainage away from <br />the site both during and after operation. This should include design details <br />demonstrating the capacity of ditches and impoundment structures to contain <br />operating solutions and the volume of water generated by a significant rainfall <br />event. <br />Maps and Plans. Design drawings should describe specific design details for <br />tailing ponds and embankments, heap or vat configurations, ponds and ditches, ore <br />and tail transport systems, and ground and surface water monitoring systems, etc. <br />
