purchased water and riot tributary water: No tributary ground water will be exposed during <br />mining operations since the slurry wall will be designed, constructed and certified to effectively <br />exclude inflt~w of tributary grtrund water. The pit will be dry mined after being dewatered <br />It 1s true that the Qperatar will need some potable and water for dust cantrpl. The estimated <br />water need far dust control is .S acre feet per year. The Qperator will purchase this water if <br />water rights are not available by the time mining operatianc begin. Potable water will be <br />pravrded from the c~peratiatzs existing turf farrra facility. <br />D} "The applicant states, `it will be in compliance with alt Federal and Catorada dredge and <br />fill regulatory requirements.'

Please <br />explain." <br />Response: While it is true that the Applicant will Heart approval of the reservoirs structures <br />prior to corrstruation. The Conceptual Engineering Designs, Appendix fI, contains <br />approximations of the height, length and crass-sections of each darn embankment. We believe <br />these values are sufficient fvr the Division to calculate volumes. If more is treaded, please <br />explain and speed exactly what is required <br />F} "It is the understanding of the I3ivisian, all GW weds Hated during the pre-a~ratianai <br />Inspection belonged to the applicant.
