Uses of Ground '::zter in Y'cinity of i4ine Site <br />Uses of ground water in the vicinity of the Empire mine are limited. <br />Mast of the grounC ~.vater uses in the area are permitted for domestic and <br />stOCk purposes. =xc_pt -. :`,? c"1Dir'_ _[er^y •:~ei~; -- .~8._c -`° <br />Twentymile and Trout Creek Sandstones, there are no ~.vei'; in the imr.:ediat2 <br />area that deliver water for municipal, industrial or commercial uses. <br />Shown on Table III-17 and on t•?ap III-14 are wells registered with the <br />State Engineer's Office near the mine. Any unregistered wells are <br />probably used for domestic and stock purposes because there are no <br />reported irrigation or other high capacity wells on or adjacent to the <br />mine site. <br />Ground water use is therefore limited because of the low demand for <br />water supplies near the mine. In addition, water supplies sufficient for <br />domestic or stock purposes can often be obtained close to the land surface <br />from aquifers in thin, intermittent sandstones or fractured shales. The <br />Twentymile "Middle" and Trout Creek Sandstones contain sufficient water <br />for ground water development; however, they occur at great depth and to <br />date, have been developed little for water supplies. <br />3.4.7 Mine Inflows <br />3.4.7.1 Past and Present Inflows <br /> <br />III-68 <br />
