• is outside of any influence from the mining and the other well is located so the vertical <br />distance from the well to the mine is approximately 1500 feet. The wells are not current{y <br />in use. There being no producing wells in the area precludes damaging of any wells by <br />pumping water from the No. 1 and No. 3 mines. <br />There are not any plans at the present time to relocate any ditches at the mine site. <br />If, during the life of the operation, there is a call on the Colorado River by a senior water <br />right, the Operator will endeavor to insure no damage occurs to the senior water right by <br />taking appropriate action specified by the Division Water Engineer. Included in the actions <br />which can be taken would be to direct al{ of the water seeping from the No. 1 Mine to North <br />Thompson Creek after it flows through the water treatment ponds. <br />Surface runoff was retained in one of two sediment ponds at the minesite. The following <br />was the pond designations and volume including sediment storage. <br />Designation <br />Volume <br />Surface Area <br />P-9 <br />Refuse Pond <br />• Based on a vegetation survey pertormed during July 1992, a demonstration was made that <br />untreated drainage from the reclaimed mine sites does not contribute additional <br />suspended solids above natural conditions. Therefore, sedimentation control is no longer <br />required at the No. 1 or No. 3 Mine Sites. See the discussion beginning on page 4-19 for <br />more details. <br />1.15 Acre Feet <br />1.65 Acre Feet <br />0.2 Acre <br />0.7 Acre <br />The source of water for any augmentation requirements will be from the No. 1 and No. 3 <br />mines. Water discharged will comply with the applicable CDPS permit. The discharged <br />water will also be analyzed according to the Division's Surface Water Quality Monitoring <br />List. <br /> <br />4-126 <br />Revi ed June 1998 <br />~N-03 <br />tk-zo <br />
