<br />be used on an "as needed" basis for data comparison and to help visualize the <br />possible fluctuations in the water table. <br />5) Monitoring records will be maintained by the Applicant for inspection by the local <br />water commissioner at the Applicants main offices. Static water results will be <br />submitted to the DMG prior to dewatering activities and will be included with the <br />DMG Annual Report. <br />6) The notification and mitigation process would begin 'rf an average drop in water <br />levels in excess of four-feet is observed during mining operations. Two-to three- <br />foot fluctuations are normally experienced in the vicinity of the site as a result of <br />climatic conditions. <br />7) Possible options for mitigating potential water losses could consist of installing a <br />recharge trench along the east mining boundary, pumping clean water to <br />recharge ponds, diverting additional water to the site by way of the South Platte <br />River via leased effluent water rights, and/or trucking water into the area. In <br />some cases the deepening or lowering of well pumps may be considered for <br />nearby well owners to help utilize the total saturated thickness of the underlying <br />alluvium. <br />Lafarge is committed to maintaining historic water levels in and around the mining <br />operation and will do all it can to avoid possible impacts to the groundwater table to the <br />extent possible given climatic and land use conditions. If it is determined that the water <br />table has been impacted by mining operations, Lafarge will begin mitigation processes <br />in an expeditious manner. <br />
