The soil-bentonite trenches will extend several feet into bedrock. At <br />this time two azeas will be mined and developed into water storage reservoirs and we understand <br />that the work will be completed in two phases. <br />Phase 1 will consist ofconstructing asoil-bentonite trench around the perimeter of <br />Longhom Lake with subsequent removal of the mined deposits and creation of a water <br />storage reservoir. <br />OH93 Pt-05-R ReRmiwyGmundwna EVafua~iom Offices Nazionwide <br />
