3. Flow to surface rights 5-024 and 5-022 be increased <br />by 2.2 gpm through the .diversion-split box No. 13 <br />(Diversion C) located as shown in Figure 2. <br />Table 8 shows the summary of well-construction <br />information including the depth of the screened or open <br />interval, and the pump-intake depth for each well within two <br />miles of the NUCLA EAST pit. The data shows that the pump <br />intakes of 27 out of 29 wells are in the deep bedrock <br />aquifer, are not in the overburden aquifer, and are too deep <br />to be influenced by the pit dewatering of the overburden <br />.,aquifer. The primary impact of reducing the water levels in <br />• the overburden aquifer may be a minor increase.in pumping <br />costs amounting to less than five percent of the total <br />pumping costs. <br />Wells No. W-009 and W-041 are the shallowest wells close <br />to the proposed NUCLA EAST pit. The log for Well W-041 shows <br />that the screened interval begins at a depth of 93 feet or <br />approximately at an elevation of 5660 feet. For well W-009, <br />the screened interval is estimated to begin at a depth of 125 <br />.feet or approximately at an elevation of 5710 feet. These <br />two wells are about 2300 feet from the NUCLA EAST disturbance <br />boundary. Because the elevation of the screened intervals of <br />these wells are close to the elevation of the mine pit they <br />28 <br />GEOTRANS, INC. <br />
