A line of springs is visible on the west of side of the pit. I bring this to your attention not only because <br />the pit may be affecting the hydrologic balance in the area but also because the mining plan shows an <br />eventual mine entrance to the west of the pit at an elevation of 8100 feet ". This entrance is lower than <br />the spring elevation of 8120 on that slope "'. <br />r <br />• <br />The Mining Application states that "the slopes will be graded to maintain the present site drainage <br />patterns " ". "At this time the property slopes to the south and south west".' This is incorrect as the <br />south easterly portion of the parcel drains to the south and southeast. "There is little run off from the <br />site now but once mining is complete the floor will slope to the southwest so drainage would enter the <br />wetland area if run off occurs. "" This statement clearly contradicts the statement that present drainage <br />patterns will be maintained. <br />
