Section 785.20 (c) Continued. <br />taken from the final strip pit. The material will be placed in /~ ~r, <br />the final pit by dozers and possibly scrapers if needed. I~~ ~~~d F~~/c <br />la. <br />Se4~i~ e <br />Experience and analysis of the area hydrology show that no water <br />discharge will occur from any of the auger holes. The augering is <br />in the unsaturated portion of the aquifer near the outcrop as <br />demonstrated on the Energy Mines No. 1 and 2 Overburden Aquifer <br />Piezometric Surface (Map 11) and Eckman Park Overburden Aquifer <br />Piezometric Surface (Map 12). <br />Because of the proposed auger method, subsidence is not expected <br />(see Figure 45, Auger Mining Drill Pattern). Even if subsidence <br />should occur there will be no powerlines, pipelines, buildings, <br />or other permanent facilities that would be affected. There is no <br />underground operation either abandoned or existing in the proposed <br />area of auger mining. Moreover, since augering is up-dip from the <br />• final strip pit toward the quality limit no underground mining is <br />proposed or would ever take place as discussed earlier in this <br />section. <br />785-28 <br /> <br />
