It is expected that a <br /> change of use from agriculture to industrial will meet water <br />- needs for the mining project now and in the future. <br />I The effect of runnoff water on surrounding lands will not <br /> be a problem. Drainage will be into the pit area, not away <br /> from the excavation. There may be small areas that are excep- <br /> I tions. They will be ditched and the water will be returned to <br /> the lake to prevent damage to other properties. <br />' There will be no water used for reclamation. It is not <br />' planned to irrigate the revegetated lands. Whenever possible, <br /> overburden materials will be used to backfill and reduce water <br />area. <br />The operator's intention is to minimize disturbances to <br />1 the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and of <br />I the surrounding area and to the quality and quantity of water <br />in surface and groundwater systems, both during and after <br />mining and during reclamation. The operator believes it is in <br />compliance with federal and state laws and regulations govern- <br />ing water and water rights. There is no application of the <br />-23- <br />
