For <br />instance, excavation will start on the westernmost side of the <br />property. Lands irrigated by well number 14838 will be the first <br />to be taken from crop production; but it will be approximately <br />10 years before excavation reaches the well itself. The possi- <br />bility of converting wells number 14836 and 14837 to industrial <br />use for the life of the mine is being investigated. <br />It is expected that by the time reclamation is complete <br />four of the present six wells will be removed from production. <br />will be made; therefore, no Department of Health NPDES permit <br />No dewatering is necessary and no discharge to the river <br />will be required. <br />The effect of runoff water on surrounding landowners will <br />not be a problem. Drainage will be into the pit area, not away <br />from the excavation. There may be small areas that are exceptions. <br />They will be ditched and the water returned to the lake to prevent <br />damage to other properties. <br />Water used annually in the mining stages will be minimal. <br />Amounts of water used for dust control and crusher operation <br />will vary widely depending on number of operating days, windy <br />days and volumes handled, The average annual use of water for <br />dust control is estimated at 7.00 acre feet per year, some of <br />which will return to the aquifer. Since the crusher for this <br />pit has not been purchased yet, we find it difficult to give a <br />figure for the amount of water it will use. We do feel that <br />wells 14836 and 14837 will be more than adequate to meet demands. <br />- 21 - <br /> <br />
