~.~-- <br />WATER RESOURCES <br />ALEXANDER PIT - NIELSONS, INC. <br />The Alexander Pit is located in the flood plain of the San Miguel <br />River at the confluence with its South Fork. <br />The area of mining is above the level of the river. Because of this <br />no dewatering is required to work the pit. No dewatering is expected in <br />the upcoming years but a point discharge permit has been requested from <br />The Colorado Department of Health should ground water be encountered. <br />The discharge permit will also be necessitated by the washall operation. <br />No wells or irrigation ditches exist in the immediate area of the <br />pit that would be affected by the operation. <br />
