, <br /> <br />l_ J <br />would be issued soon and no continuous monitoring of stormwater runoff would <br />be required. In October 1992, notification of project transfer to WRNM was <br />submitted. This application is pending CDH action. <br />4.3.8 Ground Water Discharge Regulations Exemotion <br />Final Colorado State VVater Engineer's Office (SWE) rules/regulations regarding <br />discharges to ground water were published in 1992. Per WRNM's water attorney, <br />the project was exempt from SWE administration based on provision in the rules <br />for projects subject to EI'A Underground Injection Control Permit. <br />Filing an exemption for CDH WOCD regulations covering discharges from <br />impoundments is scheduled prior to July, 1993. The project is monitoring lined <br />waste and process water ponds to document leakage of less than 1 X 106 cm/sec <br />or 923.7 gpad in order to apply for an exemption. As a result of leakage rates, <br />which appear to increase from waste water pond during cold weather {from 5 to <br />50 gpad), the project is planning to construct in 1993 a permanent dedicated <br />pump system. The pump system would reduce leakage buildup on the seconday <br />liner and therefore diminish potential leakage from ponds. <br />4.3.9 Ground Water Discharge Exemotion for Imaoundments <br />As a result of new joint venture, and naming WRNM as operator, all permits, <br />licenses, and other obliclations were transferred from NaTec to WRNM. <br />Consequently, Rio Blanco County, CDH WQCD, CDH APCD, CDH Radiation <br />Control Division, SWE, Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division, EPA, BLM and <br />the Minerals Management Service were notified of project transfer. <br />30 <br />
