G -4 WATER QUALITY <br />The Bulldog Mountain Operation has been issued and is complying <br />with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Number CO- 0000710 <br />issued by the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of <br />Health. A water treatment plant is currently being constructed near the mine <br />site to treat the mine discharge. This plant will permit the discharge to <br />meet NPDES effluent standards. <br />There is no point source discharge from the mill area. All liquid <br />waste is pumped to the tailings impoundment where solids are settled and <br />decant water recycled to the mill. The tailings disposal sites are located % <br />on layered sediments containing sufficient clay to make them impervious. <br />( <br />The dams have been constructed with a core of compacted clays keyed to the <br />strata to prevent seepage and isolate the disposal area from underground and <br />surface waters. <br />- 30 - <br />
