Water, Waste & Land, Inc. Statement of pualifications <br />10 <br />OUR EXPERIENCE <br />We feel that our more than ten years of work analyzing mining's impact on water <br />has given us a wealth of unique experience. We have studied, characterized and modeled <br />both surface and groundwater from the standpoint of existing quality and quantity in <br />simple regimes as water consultants normally do. However, we have also encountered <br />more complex systems, both natural and man-made or man-disturbed, and have had to <br />routinely deal with the transport of non-desirable elements under saturated and partially <br />saturated conditions. During the course of our studies we have had opportunities to work <br />with unconfined, confined and leaky aquifers under numerous combinations of recharge <br />and depletion. In short, we feel we are uniquely suited to answer questions concerning <br />water in its current environment and to predict the influence of man-made and natural <br />impacts. <br />Client satisfaction and responsible reporting, containing cost effective <br />recommendations, go hand in hand. Historically, we have achieved the former while <br />producing the latter in keeping with the highest professional standards. A brief <br />description of some representative projects follows. Names of references/dontacts will <br />be furnished on request. <br />Edna Mine Project (Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company) Oak Creek, Colorado <br />Water, Waste & Land, Inc. established base-line surface and ground water <br />conditions over afifty-square-mile area. Eight gaging stations were installed on five water <br />courses. In addition, flood routing was performed and flood plains were mapped. Ground <br />water flow and quality characteristics in various types of aquifers were evaluQted by well <br />installation, pump testing, and analysis of data. Some of the well installation and pump <br />testing was designed to measure the amount of vertical communication betweJen separate <br />water-bearing zones. We also supervised a drilling program that included logging and <br />chemical analysis of core and cuttings samples of drill holes up to 1000 ft. deep. This <br />work was part of a mine planning and permitting effort. <br />
