Adjacent Water RiEhts <br />The SEO only lists one alluvial aquifer well within 600 feet of the pit limit. Exhibit G-2 is a <br />copy of a print-out of permitted and/or decreed water wells in the vicinity of the Wellington <br />Downs Site. Exhibit G-3 is a well location map with the permitted and/or decreed water wells <br />within 600 feet of the dig limit. As required by the SEO, waiver agreements will be acquired <br />From well owners within 600 feet of the pit. <br />Once dewatering in the area has started, groundwater levels in the immediate vicinity are <br />expected to drop. If water levels aze dropping in adjacent wells, due to the dewatering of the <br />Wellington Downs Pit, such that well owners may be injured, Connell will begin to implement <br />one or more the following measures. <br />1) Modify existing wells to operate under lower groundwater conditions. This would include <br />re-drilling existing wells to deeper depths or lowering the pumps. All work would be <br />done at Connell's expense with the exception of replacing equipment that was non- <br />functional prior to mining. <br />2) If existing wells cannot be repaired, then Connell will drill a new well for the owner to <br />replace the damaged well. The new well will produce water of the same quantity and <br />quality. If the well has not been put to beneficial use prior to mining, Connell should <br />have no responsibility to provide mitigation. <br />12 <br />
