Water for the concrete used in construction will be supplied <br />by the ready-mix plant which supplies the concrete; the Valance <br />can be supplied from privately owned sources and trucked to the <br />site. <br />Water requirements for the underground mining operations <br />are estimated at 25 gallons per ton of coal mined. This amounts to <br />about 600, 000 gallons per year at the planned 100 tons per day coal <br />production. If the tonnage is increased, water requirements will <br />increase proportionately. Relatively small amounts of water will <br />be needed outside the mine as stated in 2 b above. The total water <br />requirements of the mining operation, including that for miscellaneous <br />• purposes, could be hauled to the mine from privately owned water <br />sources. <br />5) Four possible sources of water exist which could supply the water <br />for the constructiou and mining operations: <br />a. Water requirements up to perhaps 5, 000 gallons per day <br />can be trucked from privatelyl~eld sources. This water could be <br />from a fairly reliable source but it would be expensive. <br />b. Water might be obtained from wells drilled on or near the <br />portal area. The wells could be drilled into the Point Lookout sand- <br />stone which underlies tl~e coal measures. The reliability of Point <br />Lookout aquifers in the portal area can be determined by drilling <br />test wells. <br />• - 2f3- <br />
