The typical pit pump location can be seen on Map C-2. <br /> 7.3. Groundwater— Reclamation <br /> A permanent water storage reservoir will be left behind, as can be seen on Map F-1. There will <br /> be no groundwater consumptive use in reclamation. <br /> 7.4. Groundwater— Slurry Wall Impact <br /> The installation of a slurry wall within the alluvial aquifer of the South Platte River may create <br /> two potential impacts to the aquifer: the creation of local groundwater shadows or mounding that <br /> damage neighboring structures or property and the potential exacerbation of regional <br /> groundwater impacts. For these reasons, the applicant will submit a groundwater model prior to <br /> installation of the slurry wall. If the determined by modelling, a French drain system will be <br /> installed to mitigate modelled impacts. <br /> 8. Water Related Permits <br /> The operator is applying for all necessary permits that have not already been acquired for water <br /> handling at the Marcovich Mining Resource. This includes a discharge permit with the Colorado <br /> Department of Public Health and Environment and a gravel well permit for initial dewatering of <br /> each pod with the Colorado Division of Water Resources. <br /> 9. Water Consumption and Source <br /> Water for dust control will be the primary consumptive use at the Marcovich Mining Resource <br /> site. Water will be purchased from a local source during operations for consumptive uses. No <br /> ongoing water consumptive use exists in reclamation, since the water storage pod is lined. This <br /> water will be sourced from a freshwater pond in the processing area. This pond will be covered <br /> by a gravel well permit. Table G-7 summarizes the estimated water consumption for the <br /> operation throughout the year. <br /> Marcovich Gravel Pit <br /> May 2024 G-6 MI Lewicki 8r Associates <br />
