Second Submittal <br /> 1.2 Objectives <br /> The objectives of this report are to: <br /> • Describe the groundwater system associated with the Project <br /> • Predict potential impacts to groundwater and its users, including: <br /> Changes in groundwater elevations that would affect residents or <br /> well users <br /> Changes in flow paths for potential migration of impacted water <br /> • Provide mitigation strategies should impacts (predicted or realized) be <br /> unacceptable <br /> 1.3 Approach <br /> This report consolidates available information on climate, geology, surface water, and <br /> groundwater to develop a conceptual hydrogeologic model for the proposed Project and <br /> adjacent area. The conceptual model is then quantified by developing a two-dimensional <br /> numerical groundwater flow model that incorporates relevant aspects of the hydrologic <br /> system. To improve its predictive capabilities,the numerical model is calibrated to known <br /> hydraulic heads and groundwater flow rates. The focus of this effort is to provide a <br /> defensible technical basis for Oredicting groundwater-related impacts associated with <br /> commencement of mining, on-going operation, and future closure of the Pit,and to provide <br /> an evaluation tool for developing mitigation strategies if required. <br /> Loveland Ready-Mix Concrete 3 Telesto Solutions,Inc. <br /> 201801 iz_p, [u xu turfy_ xlsue„unal amx January 2018 <br />
