ARCOSA <br /> lowering of the water table will not affect any ground water users in this area. This small drawdown <br /> should be the only impact on the hydrologic system from the quarry operation and would only impact <br /> the Hogan property. <br /> Final reclamation of the mine will include a permanent pond at the northern end. The pond will be <br /> recharged by surface runoff, precipitation, and, to a lesser extent, groundwater seepage. Evaporation <br /> from the pond will involve the loss of about 18 inches per year. Since 1975, when Ideal Basic ceased <br /> operations, the existing pond has stabilized at about 10 acres of surface area containing about 150 acre <br /> feet of water. It is anticipated that the pond size on the final reclaimed mine floor will be controlled by <br /> evaporation. The broader,flatter surface will allow more annual evaporative losses. The pond should <br /> stabilize and remain as shown on Exhibit F. <br /> The water requirements for the processing plant are approximately 30,000 gallons per day which is <br /> pumped from the quarry. <br />
