Geotechnical Data Technical Memorandum <br />Hazeltine -Road Runners Rest II Gravel Pit Lining Project <br />December 2000 <br />to be monitored for erosion, and if erosion occurs as a result of the discharge of <br />diverted water, a plunge pool should be constructed, or flows should be diverted <br />to multiple discharge points. <br />2.2.4 Dewatering <br />The Hazeltine Pit was dewatered in early 1999 and dewatering of the pit has been <br />continuous since that time. The contractor has excavated two dewatering trenches <br />in the pit bottom. One is along the toe of about the eastern 1800 feet of the south , <br />slope and the other, which connects with the one along the south slope, is oriented <br />north-south near abort the middle of the pit. Both trenches extend about 3 to 4 <br />feet below the floor of the pit. <br />Currently, the Howe-Haller Pit is being dewatered by use of pumps that channel , <br />water through a flexible pipe that drains into the Bull Seep which is at the south <br />side of the Hazeltine Pit. The Road Runners Rest II Pit was permitted in 1979 as <br />a wet mining operation. Suburban Sand and Gravel applied for a change from , <br />wet to dry mining in 1998. We do not lrnow what mining method is currently <br />used. <br />2.3 Water Wells <br />According to the application for amendment to permit #M-77-153 -Hazeltine Pit, drawdown of f <br />the water table due to dewatering of the Hazeltine Pit is expected to extend about 900 feet from <br />the perimeter of the pit. A similar water table drawdown zone of influence of 900 feet from the <br />perimeter of the pit is expected due to dewatering of the Road Runners Rest II Pit (application <br />for amendment to permit #M-79-195 -Road Runners Rest II). The estimated zone of influence <br />in the water table due to dewatering of the Howe-Haller Pit extends between 500 and 2000 feet <br /> <br />beyond the perimeter of the property (application for amendment to permit #M-78-52 - Howe- ' <br />Haller Pit). <br /> <br />Twenty wells were identified within the above estimated zones of influence. The approximate <br />locations of domestic and irrigation wells in and near the projected limits of influence are <br />presented on Figure 2.1. The well owner, usage, and depths of the wells shown on Figure 2.1 <br />are presented in Table 2.1. The well numbers listed in Table 2.1 correspond with the numbered <br />well identified in Figure 2.1. ' <br /> <br />GEI Consultants, Inc. 2.4 naas8ro ~m,.~a , <br />
