<br />(17.7 acre-feet pet year) because of lov recharge rates in the area and <br />' low permeabilities of the aquifers. The City of Florence has historically <br />diverted most of the available etreamflov of Newlin Creek upstream of the <br />' mine Bite, resulting in a predominately dry stream channel for a distance <br /> of nine miles to Newlin Creek's confluence with Hardscrabble Creek.

The principal consumptive use of water at <br /> the mine site is dust control within the mine. Future production of raw <br />' coal at the mine is expected to reach 780.000 tone. At this production <br /> rate. mining will continue until approximately 1996 and the annual <br />' consumptive use of water is estimated to be 58.8 acre-feet. with 4.6 <br /> acre-feet per month consumptively used in the winter and 5.5 acre-feet per <br />' month consumptively used in the summer. <br /> Conclusion <br /> Rater aviilable in the ground water system may be used at the mine site <br />' with no significant effect on the flows available to water users on <br /> Hardscrabble Creek or the Arkansas Basin. Futhermore. since the Corley <br /> Mine well is a decreed yell and under the State Engineer's Rules and <br /> Regulations may pump 41.4 acre-feet per year. current usage of this well <br />' at the mine is consistent with applicable rules and regulations. <br />' - 3 - <br />
