6.4.7 Exhibit "G" Water Information. <br />1. Under the exhibit, the operator states" If ground water is encountered, the Division will be notified and <br />mining operations will be adjusted accordingly. The operation might affect surface water during high <br />precipitation. Please refer to Exhibit "C" mining map and Exhibit "F" reclamation map for information <br />and locations and details of earthen berms and surface water drainage". The Division cannot find the <br />information mentioned in your narrative in both Exhibits. Please provide details of these structures, as <br />mentioned in your narrative. <br />2. However, there are what appeared to be two ephemeral channels that feed what appeared to be two <br />stock ponds in the mining and reclamation plan maps. Both these ponds have the potential to be <br />impacted by the proposed mining activity. The stock pond located along the south western side (in the <br />area labeled as mining area buffer zone) appeared to be outside of the proposed permit area. However <br />the drainage channel feeding this pond is going to be impacted by the proposed mining activity. Please <br />explain how you plan to mitigate impacts to these ponds and the drainage channels. <br />6.4.19 Exhibit "S" Permanent Man Made Structures. <br />1. Under this exhibit the operator states, the only manmade structures in the proposed affected area is <br />a range ranch fence. Where is the location of these fences? If they are going to be within 200 feet of <br />the proposed mining permit area, the operator will need to submit a notarized agreement with the <br />owner of the property or provide an engineering report that will demonstrate the proposed activity <br />will not impact these fences. <br />All other exhibits were found to be adequate. Once the requested high wall information is submitted, the Division <br />will calculate the required reclamation warranty. if you have questions or concerns, please contact me at 303 866 <br />3567 ext 8129. <br />Sincerely, <br />Berhan Keffelew <br />Environmental Protection Specialist
