"I understand there is a major aquifer in this area, yet no such water source appeazs on the <br />maps." <br />(M. Brox~n, J. Brown) <br />Response -The applicant has identified an alluvial aquifer and a bedrock aquifer in the <br />permit area. <br />"I have yet to see any flow rates or annual volumes for any project phases." <br />(M. Brown, J. Brown) <br />Response -The applicant provided a thorough discussion of project water ase in section 4.0 <br />of his response to the Division's adequacy review. <br />4. - "Existing wells, one reputed to have cyanide, aze not shown on the maps." <br />Response - (See Response for No. 1 above.) <br />5. "Where will the polluted water go?" <br />(G. Glab) <br />Response -The only polluted water of which the Division is awaze, would come from <br />surface flows out of the granite and sandstone quarries and the water used for dust control. <br />These will flow into either sediment ponds that will trap the sediment or into a gravel pit. <br />If the water flows into a gravel pit and escapes to the groundwater system, it will be filtered <br />first by the sand and gravel below the operation and additionally as it flows laterally through <br />sand and gravel toward off-site locations. The Division believes that, due to the amount of <br />filtering the water wil I receive before it leaves the permit area, the quality of the water should <br />remain at about the same levels as the water that naturally exists in that alluvial aquifer. <br />
