B. In <br />of <br />• by <br />an <br />1) <br />regard to the relation of the mine to present use_~s <br />surface and underground water ^rhich may be affected <br />the mining operation, the fcllc:•ring corclusiono <br />i statementis may be surmised: <br />Oak Creek is the only perennial stream vrhich could <br />be affected by the mining operatic r.. <br />Z) The City of Rockvale obta;ns its water supply from <br />the alluvial creek bed through a series of in- <br />filtration yells and tunnels. Ftive of the yells <br />are located upstream from the interception of Le^ris <br />Gulch vrith Oak Creek, with one shallovr well and <br />one deep :•~ell dovrnstream of Levis Gulch. <br />3) There is one private well one-half mile do:vnstrsam <br />from Levris Gulch, <br />4) an irrigation water diversion o:•rned by the City of <br />Rockvale is located within 500 feet do:vnstream of <br />the interception of Lewis Gulch and Oak Creek. <br />5) Runoff doom Letivis Gulch, as it exists today, is <br />subject to sedimentation and pollution from the <br />existing strip-mined area, <br />6) The Brookside seam strati graphically outcrops above <br />• Oak Creek and any drainage into Oak Creek. <br />7) underground aquifers would drain to the southvrest <br />as controlled by the Chandler Syncline. <br />8) The mine plan as designed vrill retain and/or con- <br />trol the water generated by storm runoff across <br />and through the main site. <br />9) The ground waterSMOnitoring program has not shown a <br />reduction in the.wa[er Eable due pumping water from <br />the mine. <br />In revie:v of the above, it can be concluded that the <br />rights of present users of surface and underground <br />water vri11 not be adversely affected, <br />To further insure the quality of vrater discharged from <br />the mine Site, monitoring program for surface and ground water <br />are being carried out in accorance with Stipulations No. 1 b 2 <br />and the NPEDS Permit.. <br /> <br />'Nater sampling shall be in accordance with the Department <br />of Public Health Water Quality Standards.
