c. Submit a brief statement or plan showing how water from dewatering operations or from runoff <br />from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will be managed to protect against <br />pollution of either surface or groundwater (and, where applicable, control pollution in a manner that <br />is consistent with water quality discharge permits), both during and after the operation. <br />11. You must provide an estimate of the project water requirements including flow rates and annual volumes for <br />the development, mining and reclamation phases of the project. <br />12. You must indicate the projected amount from each of the sources of water to supply the project water <br />requirements for the mining operation and reclamation. <br />13. You must affirmatively state that the Operator/Applicant has acquired (or has applied for) a National <br />Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Water Quality Control Division at the <br />Colorado Department of Health, if necessary. <br />EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information (Rule 6.4.8). <br />14. In developing the wildlife information, you may wish to contact the local wildlife conservation officer. You <br />must include in this Exhibit, a description of the game and non game resources on and in the vicinity of the <br />application area, including: <br />a. a description of the significant wildlife resources on the affected land; <br />b. seasonal use of the area; <br />c. the presence and estimated population of threatened or endangered species from either federal or <br />state lists; and <br />d. a description of the general effect during and after the proposed operation on the existing wildlife of <br />the area, including but not limited to temporary and permanent loss of food and habitat, <br />interference with migratory routes, and the general effect on the wildlife from increased human <br />activity, including noise. <br />EXHIBIT I Soils Information (Rule 6.4.9): <br />15. In consultation with the Soil Conservation Service or other qualified person, you must indicate on a map (in <br />Exhibit C) or by a statement, the general type, thickness and distribution of soil over the affected land. Such <br />description will address suitability of topsoil (or other material) for establishment and maintenance of plant <br />growth. The above information shall satisfy "completeness" requirements for purposes of determination of <br />date of filing. <br />EXHIBIT J Vegetation Information (Rule 6.4.10): <br />16. You must include in this Exhibit a narrative of the following items: <br />a. descriptions of present vegetation types, which include quantitative estimates of cover and height <br />for the principal species in each life-form represented (i.e., trees, tall shrubs, low shrubs, grasses, <br />forbs); <br />b. the relationship of present vegetation types to soil types, or alternatively, the information may be <br />presented on a map; and <br />c. estimates of average annual production for hay meadows and croplands, and carrying capacity for <br />range lands on or in the vicinity of the affected land, if the choice of reclamation is for range or <br />agriculture. <br />17. You must show the relation of the types of vegetation to existing topography on a map in Exhibit C. In <br />providing such information, you may want to contact the local Soil Conservation District. <br />EXHIBIT K Climate (Rule 6.4.11): <br />18. Provide a description of the significant climatological factors for the locality.
