2-23 <br />There will be virtually no impact on the groundwater resources. The Cameo <br />Seam contains water only in the northeastern portion of the permit area. The amount of <br />water associated with the Cameo seam is relatively small. Minimal inflow, averaging <br />less that 2 gallons per minute occurred during the initial permit terms. The mine inflow <br />encountered in the Main East Entries is consumed by the mine and averages <br />approximately 7.72 gpm. Detailed analysis of water inflow is contained in Appendix N <br />which concludes that "For the purposes of projecting the effect mine discharge will have <br />on East Salt Creek, it will be assumed the maximum mine flow rate is 77 gpm or 0.17 <br />cfs.". The annual reports submitted to the Division that report hydrologic impacts also <br />give a detailed analysis of water inflow. <br />Impacts to the surface water system within and adjacent to the lease area as a <br />result of the proposed mining operations will be insignificant. The only disturbance <br />possibly affecting surface water would be the work area and road construction. Adequate <br />pollution control measures will be applied for the protection of this resource. (See <br />Section 2.4.1) <br />McClane Volume 1 November 30, 2001 <br />
