Lands irrigated by well number 14838 will be the first <br /> to be taken from crop production; but it will be approximately <br /> 10 years before excavation reaches the well itself. The possi- <br /> bility of converting wells number 14836 and 14837 to industrial <br /> use for the life of the mine is being investigated. <br /> It is expected that by the time reclamation is complete <br />1 f <br />f <br /> our o <br />the present six wells will be removed from production. <br />' No dewatering is necessary and no discharge to the river <br /> will be made; therefore, no Department of Health NPDES permit <br />' will be required. <br /> The effect of runoff water on surrounding landowners will <br />` not be <br />bl <br />D <br />ill b <br />i <br />i <br />it <br />th <br /> a pro <br />em. <br />ra <br />nage w <br />e <br />nto <br />area, not away <br />e p <br />' from the excavation.
