adjacent Dunn Ranch owned by the Ute Mountain Tribe contains one <br />stock pond, identified from maps and aerial photography. Currently, <br />access to this property has not been granted, so a definitive evaluation of <br />the structure has not been undertaken. <br />Alkali Gulch is located to the northwest of the project area. As this <br />feature is isolated from the project area by an intervening ridge, the <br />potential for impacts to any surface waters of Alkali Gulch are <br />insignificant. <br />The surface drainages channels that are located within the bottom of the <br />two arms of the drainage basin in the project area are incised <br />discontinuous features. Based on an investigation of their <br />configurations, they do not regularly flow, have not flowed during the <br />past year, and based on the vegetation stature and lack of flow related <br />deposition, appear not to have run in recent times. <br />Map King II -007 provides information on surface water features of the <br />project and adjacent area. <br />ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY INFORMATION <br />GCC Energy, LLC estimates a consumptive use of 8.61 acre feet per year, <br />for use in dust control operation. The three continuous mining <br />machines, each feeder breaker and belt transfer points are sprayed to <br />reduce dust. Process water will be obtained by development of a well, <br />located in the Hay Gulch Valley Floor, or drilled adjacent to the surface <br />facilities. No other consumptive uses of water are anticipated for the <br />mine. Water will be detained within the sediment pond only to allow <br />sediment settling. The pond will not be lined or sealed and remaining <br />water will be allowed to recharge or evaporate. <br />GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br />Section 2.04.7 <br />Page 4 October, 2008 <br />TR -is <br />
