Ground water is believed to be 50-120 feet below the current surface. It will be exposed in the <br />active excavation pit, but nowhere else. Operations in the 1 10 permit never reached groundwater. <br />This is the alluvial river aquifer of the Platte River. <br />3_1 Existing Wells <br />Nearby wells that have been identified are located on Map C- 1, as best as possible using mapping <br />data from the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Since dewatering will not occur, no impact is <br />anticipated to the level of these wells. <br />4. Water Consumption for the Operation <br />Fairplay Au Pit will use water at approximately the annual rates shown below. Water will be either <br />via the placer rights the operator has on the Sacramento Ditch or leased water from a local <br />reservoir. <br />Table G-1 Mining Water Consumption <br />Annual Water Consumption <br />Dust control 2.5 <br />Ac -ft <br />Processin_g_ 2.5 <br />Ac -ft <br />_ <br />Total 5 <br />Ac -ft <br />Note: Processing in placer operations uses the water principally for its physical properties (density based separation, <br />moving material across the sluice, etc.).
