<br />any pumping. Therefore, it is expected to take a minimum of <br />4 years for flood waters to reach the 8100' level when pumping <br />and treatment would again be required". <br />The estimate of 4 years to flood the workings up to the <br />8100' level assumes that the rate of elevation gain of <br />the mine pool is linear between 7500' and 8948' of <br />elevation. Would not, in fact, the rate of elevation <br />gain for the mine pool be relatively rapid between 7500' <br />and 7700', then slower above 7700' where there is a <br />greater proportion of mine voids? And would not the <br />effect of rapid mine pool rise over the first 200' <br />possibly result in a mine pool rise to the 8100' level in <br />significantly less than 4 years? <br />
