The restored recharge capacity supports the approved postmining land use. Permanent <br />impoundments provide a source of water to livestock and wildlife. Spoil springs provide an <br />extended rechazge (surface and alluvial) to Trout Creek. Areas of backfill appear to support <br />successfixlrevegetation. <br />Rule 4.05.12(2) Minimizes disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance in the permit area <br />and in adjacent areas; and <br />As analyzed below, disturbance to the prevailing hydrologic balance in the permit area and in <br />adjacent azeas has been minimized. <br />Rule 4.05.12(3) Provides a rate of recharge that approximates the premining recharge rate. <br />As explained below, recharge rates approximate premining recharge rates. <br />Rule 4.05.13(4) Monitoring Report Requirements <br />Rule 4.05.13(4)(a) The data collected, including analytical results, shall be tabulated on a site by <br />site basis and kept on file at the mine off ce for inspection by the Division. These data shall be <br />submitted to the Division as required in 4.O.i.13(4)(c). <br />The data, compiled in AHRs, is maintained at the Routt County Court House (the mine is in <br />permanent cessation). See Rule 4.05.13(4)(c) below. <br />Rule 4.05.13(4)(b) Ground water and surface water data collection shall be based upon a water <br />year (October 1 through September 30), unless otherwise approved by the Division. <br />The report is in compliance with this rule. The Permit Application Package (PAP) calls for a <br />water-yeaz report (page 4.6-139).

It was received at the Division on February 28, 2007. <br />Rule 4.05.13(4)(c)(i) Water quantity data obtained from each monitoring site during the water <br />year; <br />The report is in compliance with this rule. See the table below. <br />Rule 4.05.13(4)(c)(ii) Water quality data obtained from each monitoring site during the water <br />year; and <br />Page 3 <br />
