All drainage on the project wit]. be discharged into the north end " ,y '.1. of the pit and allowed to dissi.prite to the ground water aquifer. r 6. lIistori.c_ llrai.na~e - 'Cho natural drainage pa l;Lei~n of the project ' A site and surrounding area has been modified by a maze of irriga- { tion and drainage ditches. These ditches have modified the oat- r; ural peak flow Uy intercepting the na.tut•al drainage and routing ti the flow through the ditches. Most of the runoff in the pas L' ' was undoubtedly surplus irr.igat.ion water. The present. drainage water flows to t;he streams by irrigation ditches or dissipates to the ground water aquifer. ~ . 7. Drainage During Mining G~eration - During the excavation process, ' i ; all runoff entering the excavated areas will be retained and re- ~ turned to the ground water recharge.
