<br />' Ground water ievel fluctuations will be minimized by planned water features ir, the mining <br />' plan, including recharge structures and low permeability barriers installed along the pit <br />boundaries. <br />2.2 Impacts to the Alluvial Aquifer -Stream System Relationship <br />• The mine will operate in accordance with an approved augmentation or temporary substitute <br />' supply plan which will replace any stream depletions resulting from the proposed mine water <br />uses and evaporation at the site. <br />• In addition to the depletions impacts that will be covered by [he augmentation plan, changes <br />' in alluvial storage resulting from mining will result in changes to the alluvial aquifer- surface <br />water system due to changes in the aquifer storage function. <br />' Slight changes in the aquifer-stream recharge and discharge functions will occur. However, <br />these changes will be less than 0.18 cfs as measured in the stream. This equate ~ to less than <br />' 0.04 percent of the available streamflow in the St. Vrain River. Such small ch~mges are not <br />measurable and will result in no impacts to the stream system and other water users. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />I <br />-6- <br />' 1 /iidinp-lfrndlru l <,nr in/cc, lro. <br />
