B. Water Quality. State how applicable state and federal water quality standards will be met. <br />Describe measures or management practices to be used to minimize water quality impacts and <br />meet applicable standards. <br />1. State whether water is to be used in the operation, and describe the quantity, source, methods <br />and design of diversions, storage, use, disposal, and treatment facilities. Include assumptions <br />for sizing water conveyance or storage facilities. <br />2. Describe methods to control erosion and surface water runoff from all disturbed areas, <br />including waste and tailings dumps. <br />3. Describe proposed surface water and groundwater quality monitoring, if required, to <br />demonstrate compliance with federal or state water quality standards. <br />4. Describe the measures to be used to minimize potential water quality impacts during seasonal <br />closures, or for a temporary cessation of operations. <br />5. If land application is proposed for waste water disposal, the location and operation of the <br />land application system must be described. Also describe how vegetation, soil, and surface and <br />groundwater quality will be protected if land application is used. <br />1.Water may be used as dust suppressant during reclamation. Water will be pumped to the truck from the fresh <br />water pond. The water is purchased through Pueblo Water Board for the mine operation including reclamation and <br />dust suppression. <br />2. Erosion will be controlled with straw waddles placed perpendicular to the slope. <br />3. The site operates under CDPHE Water Quality Control Division Permit No.CUR040261. The current permit <br />requires surface water monitoring but the site lacks a discharge point from which to collect. This has been brought to <br />CDPHE's attention. <br />4. The proposed reclamation will not impact water quality. <br />5. This is not a land application project. <br />C. Solid Wastes. Describe the quantity and the physical and chemical characteristics of solid waste <br />produced by the operation. Describe how the wastes will be disposed of including location and <br />design of facilities, or treated so as to minimize adverse impacts. <br />No solid waste will be generated by this project. <br />D. Scenic Values. Describe protection of scenic values such as screening, slash disposal, or timely <br />reclamation. <br />Reclamation of this <1 acre will reduce the disturbed area of the Willow Creek Mine, increasing scenic value. <br />(If more space is needed to fill out a block of information, use additional sheets and attach form) <br />-5- <br />
