begins,the well will be reopened and equipment and pump, which are still in place will be <br /> repaired or replaced. Power is available for the energizing of the pump. <br /> 3. Fees to the Division of Water Resources have been paid to allow UMC to use this well for dust <br /> suppression. A check for$100.00 was received by the DWR and a receipt was issued for the fee. <br /> 4. A lease with the owner of the wells in lot 50 and lot 51 has also be generated and is effective as <br /> of January 11, 2020. <br /> Skull Creek Ground Water Hydrology:Aquifer Location and Depth <br /> Permit Boundary is a sub-set of the Skull Creek State School Section 36 outline. <br /> There are no ground water wells permitted or drilled within the permit boundary(Figure-1). <br /> Six ground water wells have been permitted and drilled within 1,000 feet proximity to the mine permit <br /> boundary. Static water level data from these six wells have been used to construct the Skull Creek <br /> Ground Water Hydrology X-Section (Figure-2)which shows location of three wells that are located in <br /> near proximity to the N-S X-Section Line and SWL's have been projected to the X-Section. <br /> These data clearly show an aquifer in the Navajo Formation that is confined by a thick sequence of <br /> mudstones and claystone's in the Carmel Formation which overlies the Navajo. Lewis Lot 46 Well is <br /> completed in the Navajo and demonstrates an approximately 10 foot artesian head. Approximately 600 <br /> feet south of the Lot 46 well,the Lot 50 Well shows a SWL of 24 feet. Clearly, there is not a single <br /> piezometric surface that crosses the Carmel Formation.There are two piezometric surfaces; one in the <br /> Navajo and the other in formations up section from the Entrada. <br /> The Lot 51 Well is located approximately 900 feet south of the Lot 50 Well and shows a SWL of 100 feet. <br /> There may be no hydraulic connection between the Lot 50 and Lot 51 Wells, however,the SWL's suggest <br /> they may be located on the same piezometric surface and this interpretation is present on Figure-2. <br /> Permits to drill two other wells in the area (Forbes Lot 50 and Mead Lot 52)were applied for but there is <br /> no evidence either of the wells were ever drilled. <br /> The N-S Hydrologic X-Section is expected to represent the average ground water condition throughout <br /> the Skull Mine Permit area due to the continuation of the geologic formations which control the <br /> groundwater hydrologic regimes. <br /> Uinta Mining, LLC does not believe the mining plan will affect or interfere with the aquifer described <br /> above. But because of the water elevation reflected in in the Lot 51 well, UMC will drill and verify water <br /> aquifer location once mining reaches 50 feet above the projected water level. These holes will be drilled <br /> 20 feet below the projected mining limits guaranteeing that the aquifer will not be intercepted by <br /> mining operations. <br /> 3 April 20, 2020 <br />
