.- `' <br />seems to be no correlation to mining or previous use to account for <br />these extreme numbers. The Lewis shale is also high in metal <br />concentrations of Fe, Mo, Pb, A1, Cd and Zn, exceeding stock and <br />irrigation standards. The shale is also high in magnesium, sodium <br />and boron and manganese, often exceeding both stock and irrigation <br />standards. The alluvial water is unsuitable for any use. High SAR <br />values 23-58 are also common. <br />Minimal if any disturbance is predicted to occur to the hydrologic <br />balance at the loadout. I am satisfied at their explanation of <br />minimum impact due to operations at the loadout site. <br />Alluvial Valley Floor designation does not exist in the main areas; <br />Section 14 and 15 of the loadout site. These areas have been <br />designated as dryland areas and are not subirrigated nor <br />potentially flood irrigable. The northwest corner of Section 23 <br />and part of the permit area is designated an AVF due to the <br />presence of hydrophytes in the Dry Creek channel. According to the <br />study conducted by Keammerer Consultants, the impact of the loadout <br />in this area will not substantially alter, prevent or preclude any <br />irrigation potential in this small area. <br />In conclusion, I can find no concerns on the above sections that <br />have not been addressed in the permit application or referred to in <br />the Seneca II-W permit. <br />
