G-X/-J/fr1T (' <br />day operating season. Therefore, the percolation total for an operating season would be APR 12 <br />9.71 acre feet __-- <br />I TMMARY <br />The estimated combined evaporation and percolation losses during a 180 day <br />operating season come to 10.33 acre feet. Nominally, then, the consumption from the <br />132 acre feet used would be the 10.33 acre feet, the rest would be circulated through the <br />operation. If assumptions are incorrect (how much water would still be in the tailings <br />that will be used to backfill mined out areas seems to be the biggest unknown) losses <br />could double althought most would return to the ground water. A projected usage of 20 <br />to 25 acre feet per 180 day season seems reasonable. <br />e7l ?..I/
