Mr. Tom Schreiner, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />April 15, 2005 <br />Page 3 <br />~~ <br />CIVIL RES'~JU RCES, LLC <br />determines that this area is jurisdictional, then the project Owner will obtain a 404 permit <br />prior to disturbing the wetlands. <br />Comment 6: In order to better understand the regional groundwater system in the area of the ... <br />Response 6: The scale of the Water Feature Map has been increased as requested and is now more <br />legible with regard to well information. The table below lists the well nearest each major <br />project phase: <br />Nearest Domestic Well to Permit Boundary <br />Active Mining Area Nearest Well Well Tvpe Approx. Distance <br />North Silt Pond Landrus D 90 feet <br />Pond 1 Neeley D 110 feet <br />Pond 2 Balderas D 210 feet <br />South Silt Pond Spain D 90 feet <br />Notes: i) Well Type: D = Domestic; I = Imgafion <br />Nearest Irrigation Well to. Permit Boundary <br />Active Minino Area Nearest Well Well Tvpe Approx. Distance <br />North Silt Pond Sasaki I 145 feet <br />Pond 1 Sakata I 110 feet <br />Pond 2 Villano I 740 feet <br />South Silt Pond Brancucci I 540 feet <br />Notes:l) Well Type: D = Domestic; I = Imgation <br />Comment 7: The applicant has already begun a Groundwater Monitoring Program at fhe proposed... - <br />Response 7: The applicant will comply with the additional monitoring requirements stated in.Comment <br />7 of the 2nd Hydrology Review. <br />Comment 8: The "Monitoring lNell & Boring Location Map' will need to be revised to include ... <br />Response S: We will complete another monitoring well in the requested area prior to progressing the <br />mining into Pond 2. Impacts that result from other people's activities including operating <br />irrigation wells or the cumulative affect of many domestic wells but should be reflected in <br />the monitoring records that we have been collecting. <br />Comment 9.• The revised table of existing water monitoring data provided by the applicant ... <br />Response 9: Agreed. <br />Comment 10: The applicant has specified on-going groundwater mitigation of utilizing ... <br />Response 10: The four proposed recharge locations will be of new construction and designed for a <br />recharge rate of 500 gpm per site. The program is setup to prevent or reduce potential <br />affects on neighboring wells in order to avoid impacts all together. It is our intent to have <br />recharge mitigation measures in-place when dewatering begins on each adjacent site. <br />However, if there is a question on a specific well, a simple timirig calculation could be to <br />scale the distance from the recharge site to any well of interest and divide that by 165 feet <br />per day, assuming that mitigation began in response to an adverse affect. <br />
