Comment: Rule 6.4.7(3) requires that the apphcant provide an estimate of the <br />project water requirements including flow rates and annual volumes for <br />. ~ the development, mining, and reclamation phases of the operation. This ~°~ ~-0'C~'"' <br />would include volumes of evaporative loss expected during maximum ~ `~ ~~" ~ <br />pit disturbance as well as during Snal reclamation. Please address. <br />Response: The Division is referred to Attachment #8, the document prepazed by <br />Bishop Brogden Associates, Inc., entitled "An Analysis of Possible <br />Groundwater and Surface Water Impacts Resulting from the Lyons- <br />Rockin' WP Gravel Pit" regazding groundwater depletions associated <br />with this amendment. Furthermore, prior to the start of mining in the <br />amended azea, WMI will obtain approval for a substitute supply plan <br />from the State Engineer's Office. <br /> Z3. Comment: On page G-5, the applicant states that Western Mobile has installed a <br /> groundwater monitoring system in the azeas of can-ent and future mining <br /> to obtain baseline information on the water table, ground water quality, <br />ll <br />it <br />ibl <br />d <br />d <br />l <br />i <br />hi <br />f <br /> p, as we <br />as to mon <br />or poss <br />e <br />sur <br />ace-groun <br />water re <br />at <br />ons <br />an <br /> future impacts due to mining. The applicant has provided hydrographs <br /> for various surface water stations monitored to date. Depth to ground <br /> water and water quality data collected was not included in the <br /> application. Please provide this information, if available. Also, please <br /> clarify whether the operator will maintain the current hydrologic <br /> monitoring program throughout the mining & reclamation phases of the <br /> DMG Adequacy Review Response Page 8 <br />
