<br />. <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I. Use the somewhat saline groundwater (gOO mg/l to 1,800 mg/l TOS <br />through COP) to the greatest extent practicabl e' to supply water <br />needs for COP, anticipated to be substantially increased over MOP <br />water use, particularly due to the advent of surface compaction of <br />spent shal e. <br /> <br />,2. Utilize the very good quality, White River surface water (400 mg/l <br />TDS) RBOSC has arranged to acquire for dedication to the stream or <br />for exchange to mitigate, through blending, impacts of groundwater <br />discharge from Tract C-a in its development stages as well as for <br />augmentation requirements associated with the dewatering and groundwater <br />use. <br /> <br />3. Provide storage within a reasonable time frame to balance groundwater <br />production with water needs of the development, if required to <br />enable achievement of the foregoing goals. <br /> <br />In addition to the environmental advantages inherent in the water management <br />plan incorporating the foregoing precepts, it should be noted that RBOSC <br />has estimated that substantial cost and energy savings would accrue from <br />early establishment of such a water management plan. Therefore, RBOSC <br />is confident that it will ultimately achieve a no-discharge system for <br />its Tract C-a development, which might include storage for regulation of <br />groundwater production if found necessary. <br /> <br />Notwithstanding the foregoing intent, the likelihood of water need and <br />groundl/ater production balancing, particularly in early years of COP <br /> <br />1364 <br />
