In addition, an estimated 1.93 acre-feet of water per year will be used for dust control based <br /> (approximately) on 3,500 gallons per day for 20 days per month for 9 months. <br /> Annually the total evaporative and operational losses from mining activities (open water <br /> surface evaporation, water retained in the aggregate product, dust suppression) totals 17.98 <br /> acre-feet of depletion which must be augmented.
