Review of Page 6 46. "Nevertheless, we recommend the installation of two monitoring wells before mining begins to quantify and <br /> Potential Ground confirm that ground water level changes are not occurring in water supply wells west and east of the <br /> and Surface proposed mine. <br /> Water Impacts Question: Does the Transmit Mix plan to follow this recommendation and drill these monitoring wells? <br /> Associated with <br /> the Proposed <br /> Hitch Rack <br /> Ranch Quarry <br /> Review of Page 6 47. "The monitoring wells will act as an early warning system that will identify any changes in water level <br /> Potential Ground associated with the operation of the quarry to the extent that ground water is encountered in the mine area. <br /> and Surface The monitoring wells will also provide data that may be used by Transit Mix to confirm water level <br /> Water Impacts conditions in the event a neighboring well owner claims the operation of the mine has detrimentally <br /> Associated with impacted water levels in their well." <br /> the Proposed Question: If the western monitoring well does not tap the same rock fracture as wells located above the <br /> Hitch Rack quarry, how would that monitoring well effectively determine whether wells have been impacted? <br /> Ranch Quarry <br /> Review of Page 7 48. "The local aquifer and stream system will not be developed for water supply purposes." <br /> Potential Ground Question: This appears to contradict an earlier statement in the application that states that Transit Mix may <br /> and Surface use Hitch Rack Ranch water or may drill wells. Which is correct? <br /> Water Impacts <br /> Associated with <br /> the Proposed <br /> Hitch Rack <br /> Ranch Quarry <br /> Review of Figure 3 49. Question: Not all Eagles Nest wells were included, including one that is probably the closest to the <br /> Potential Ground Well proposed quarry operations area. What process was used to identify and select wells for this map? <br /> and Surface Water <br /> Water Impacts Location <br /> Associated with Map <br /> the Proposed <br /> Hitch Rack <br /> Ranch Quarry <br /> Wildlife Exhibit H-2 50. "Turkeys are common on the lower part of the property year round, and the lower eastern part of the permit <br /> area is within turkey winter range, winter concentration area, and production area.Turkeys mostly use the <br /> lower parts of the Ranch and are not common in the mining area." <br /> Question: What research or investigation was used as the basis for this statement?
