Phase 2 Westside <br />Due to the presence of flood irrigation to the west of this mining phase a second cross section was <br />analyzed on the west side. The depth to bedrock in this area is greatest in the middle of the mining cell. <br />Therefore a worst case scenario is represented by the middle of the west mining highwall of this phase. <br />The soil profile analyzed was based on soil information from exploration location L103-BHO2. <br />Flood irrigation, west of the mining cell, was simulated by raising the piezometric surface, at the <br />fenceline (40-feet from the mining highwall), above the highest monitored surface to the ground surface. <br />Phase 3 <br />The depth to bedrock in this area is greatest near the southern portion of the mining cell. However there <br />are some structures in the near the north. Therefore, soil profiles analyzed were based on soil <br />information from exploration locations PA04-BHOI and PA04-13HO2. <br />No stockpiles are currently planned to be next to this mining cell. No flood irrigation is near this mining <br />cell; therefore the piezometric surface was based on the site monitoring. <br />Phase 4A <br />The soil profiles analyzed were based on soil information from exploration locations PA04-BHO8 and <br />PA04-BH11. An overburden stockpile was placed west of the pit. No flood irrigation is near this <br />mining cell; therefore the piezometric surface was based on the site monitoring. <br />Phase 4B <br />The soil profile analyzed was based on soil information from exploration location PA04-BH11. No <br />stockpiles are currently planned to be next to this mining cell. No flood irrigation is near this mining <br />cell; therefore the piezometric surface was based on the site monitoring. <br />Phase 4C <br />The soil profile analyzed was based on soil information from exploration location PA04-BH11. An <br />overburden stockpile was placed east of the pit. No flood irrigation is near this mining cell; therefore <br />the piezometric surface was based on the site monitoring. <br />Phase 5A <br />The soil profile analyzed was based on soil information from exploration location MW-9. No stockpiles <br />are currently planned to be next to this mining cell. No flood irrigation is near this mining cell; <br />therefore the piezometric surface was based on the site monitoring. <br />Parsons Mine <br />DRMS 112 Permit <br />Page SE4 of SE7
