All of <br />the wash plant water will be recycled. The consumptive use is estimated to <br />be 0.2 cfs or approximately 31 acre feet per year. <br />Although pump tests have not been conducted, there is an abundant aquifer <br />approximately 13 feet below the mine floor. Once water rights have been <br />properly obtained, this aquifer should be more than adequate to supply the <br />make up water requirement. <br />No discharge will be generated by the wash plant operation, however, <br />in order to properly inform appropriate water quality authorities, a zero <br />discharge NPDES permit application has been filed. <br />
