<br /> <br /> Effect of Dewatering <br /> As the pit is developed, certain areas being worked will be <br /> dewatered to the full depth of the pit -approximately 30'. <br /> The cone of depression of the water table will extend beyond <br /> the limits of the pit. <br /> <br /> The dewatering will not significantly aFfect adjacent properties <br /> ll <br />th <br />f <br />ll <br />i <br />f <br /> ow <br />ng reasons: <br />or we <br />s <br />or <br />e <br />o <br /> I) The entire pit area will never be dewatered at ane <br /> time as it will be worked in stages or cells, each <br />1 A <br />f l <br />h <br />ll <br /> s a <br />having an area o <br />ess t <br />an ten acres. <br />ce <br /> cell. is dewatered, the water will be pumped into <br /> adjacent cells.

The well just north of the property <br />1 draws water from a depth of 140 ft. and would <br /> therefore not be affected. The wells to the North- <br /> west are about 300 ft. from the pit area and are <br /> <br /> <br /> P~nA d(1 .,F AF <br />
