<br /> <br />such pollution, and the estimated cost of abating such pollution, prior to releasing any performance <br />bond at a site. <br />Baseline water quantity and quality parameters, and data collected representing existing water <br />quality as of January 31, 1994, where available, were compared to 1999 data for the reclaimed <br />Area 41 pit for the Eckman Pazk area. <br />Bedrock Water Quality <br />Well 026-79-6 is completed in the Wadge overburden down gradient of the reclaimed pit azea. <br />The figure below shows the location of Wadge overburden well 026-79-6 in relationship to the pit. <br />The lowest elevation of the pit floor is estimated at 7180 feet MSL from overburden thickness <br />maps included in the permit application. Foidel Creek, immediately down gradient of the pit, lies <br />at an elevation of about 7150 feet MSL. Given that the lowest elevation of the pit floor is higher <br />than the creek immediately down gradient, it is not possible that any significant amount of spoil <br />water would migrate in the Wadge overburden to well 026-79-6. <br />Well 026-79-6 ~ ~•-•" <br />Spoil well <br />026-Sp-3 <br />Foidel Creek Area 41 <br />~~ reclaimed <br />Pit area <br />Wadge <br />seam <br />,.- outcrop <br />O <br />Area 41 pit floor <br />is higher than <br />Foidel Creek in <br />this area.
