Monitoring Well GW-3 <br />4-6 <br />Recently, the local rancher developed a well in the alluvium of East Salt Creek. The <br />water from the well was so poor that it could not be used for any beneficial purpose. <br />There are about five domestic water users in the area. Each must truck water over 20 <br />miles to the area for domestic use. This preponderance of evidence that the <br />groundwater is unusable would indicate that even if the groundwater from the mine did <br />mix with the groundwater of the East Salt Creek alluvium, no detrimental effect would <br />occur. East Salt Creek is an accurate name. <br />Approximately two acres of disturbance will occur on the alluvial floor of East Salt Creek <br />from the surface facilities of the McClave Canyon Mine. One-half an acre of disturbance <br />occurred when a ranch road was upgraded during exploration development. One acre <br />of disturbance exists at the sediment pond, topsoil stockpile and proposed rip-rap <br />~~ Mc Volume 1 06/06 <br />
