• i <br />WATER RESOURCES <br />GROUNDWATER: <br />Groundwater conditions will not be significantly injured. During <br />periods of snowmelt and spring runoff, the water table i the <br />area surrounding the proposed mine site rises to within <br />approximately three feet of the surface. Although min in <br />operations may encounter groundwater during some times o the <br />year, no water is required for the mining, crushing, or orting <br />operations. The mining operations do not include any co sumptive <br />water uses. <br />SURFACE WATER: <br />Mi11 Creek and an unnamed intermittent stream flow appro imately <br />170 feet away from the permit site. Neither stream was lowing <br />during a field inspection in January of 1984. They are sually <br />contained in their channels and will not have sign ifican <br />interaction with the mine area. <br />During the spring runoff and flood season, all mining eq ipment <br />will be moved off of the site. Floodwaters n the mine ermit <br />area will be diverted away from the pit b berms compose of <br />crusher reject materials and overburden. These berms wi 1 also <br />protect the stockpiles of topsoil. <br />There will be no water channeled from the permit site di; <br />the streams. Sufficient space lies between the permit a: <br />the streams to prevent significant interaction. Water f: <br />the mined area will follow approximately the same genera: <br />northwest flow direction as the original ground, but wil: <br />ponded in the excavated pit and directed into the grounds <br />system. <br />FE6 <br />WINED UND RE <br />Cola Dept of <br />ectly to <br />ea and <br />lling on <br />be <br />Ater <br />I VED <br />1198 <br />NATION DIVISION <br />ur~l Qeso++rces <br />
