• (h) Specify the amount of water will be used in conjunction with the <br />operation, and the source of the water: <br />• <br />• <br />Potable Water: <br />No changes are proposed as part of this Amendment. <br />Operational Water: <br />No changes are proposed as part of this Amendment. <br />(i) If ground water will be encountered and /or surface water intercepted <br />or disturbed, describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality <br />of the surface or ground water and the methods to be used to minimize <br />disturbance to the surface and ground water systems including proposed <br />dewatering, sediment containment or chemical treatment systems, storm <br />water run -off controls and ground water points of compliance: <br />Operational Ground Water Quality Impacts: <br />The waste rock is primarily composed of gneiss and monzonite quartz. These materials are <br />benign and have been analyzed for leachability and acid production by DRMS- approved <br />methods. The results of the analyses demonstrated the materials are non -acid producing and <br />non - metals leaching. Due to the nature of the waste rock generated by mining operations, <br />significant impact to ground water quality is not expected. <br />Surface Water Quality Impacts: <br />As with ground water, surface water quality impacts are not expected. Where needed, <br />appropriate Best Management Practice (BMP) storm water controls will be implemented during <br />the construction and reclamation of the proposed activities. No hazardous or toxic chemicals <br />will be used during any of the proposed construction. <br />Impacts to Water Quantity: <br />No changes are proposed as part of this Amendment. <br />Methods to be used to minimize disturbance to the surface and ground water systems including <br />proposed dewatering, sediment containment or chemical treatment systems, storm water run -off <br />controls and ground water points of compliance: <br />• Operational Ground Water Quality and Quantity Controls: <br />No changes are proposed as part of this Amendment <br />Page 27 <br />
