(1) This operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems. Historically <br />no ground water has been discovered in the local area that the permit covers. <br />(2) Since this operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems, items (a) <br />(b) and (c) are not necessary. However some of the information is supplied as a matter of course. <br />(a) On the map, (EXHIBIT "C ") there are no watercourses on site permit boundary area. There <br />are no wells, springs, ditches or reservoirs on the affected lands. The Huerfano River is east of <br />the permit - affected lands approximately 400 to 500 feet at the nearest point. There are no <br />structures that would be affected by the proposed mining operations. <br />(b) There are no known aquifers to be identified. <br />EXHIBIT "G" <br />Water Information <br />(c) There will be no dewatering operation or runoff from disturbed areas. A low earthen berm will <br />be placed around areas of excavation to prevent runoff from the pit area. A Stormwater Discharge <br />Permit and associated Stormwater ManagementPlan (SWMP) will be developed for this operation. <br />Best Management Practices will be used as defined by the EPA. <br />(3) There will be no water requirements for processing the product. All products produced will be <br />processed dry and no water is added. Mining and reclamation phases will not require water. <br />(4) As stated above water will not be required or involved for the washing of product. <br />(5) A Stormwater Discharge permit will be applied for from the Water Quality Control Division <br />of the Colorado Department of Health and associated Stormwater Management Plan will be <br />developed. <br />
