Paul von Guerard: <br />How much water will you be pumping? <br />Roger Day: <br />About 60 gallons per minute. <br />• <br />Roger Day: <br />Our well's laid out so that if the alluvial well field is here, one of those water wells will be at <br />the alluvial monitoring well. That's where the gulch comes in and here's Yellow Creek. The <br />well field is right here and the draw comes down right here. This is where our best shot at <br />public land. You have Marathon ownership on both sides. The water well, our surface water <br />consumption will be .... <br />Paul Daggett: <br />Maybe I'm a little bit confused now. If you're monitoring the alluvium, the water level, but <br />you're going to be using it for a water - producing well, I'm a little bit confused. <br />Roger Day: <br />We've got a choice and we don't know where the water's coming from. The first 2 years of <br />this pilot operation we'll have to use the shallow tributary water. We're going to have to <br />watch the water level of that well and we should have a pretty good water quality. <br />Jerry Daub: <br />Does anyone have any comments or discussion on any of the surface water. <br />Paul Daggett: <br />What exactly were you going to do with the surface water? Can you summarize real quick? <br />Jerry Daub: <br />At the point of AmerAlia's take out, they're going to be taking alluvial water and/or surface <br />convergence for a source of their water. That's going to be the water supply. That's <br />probably the short-term usage. The longer -term will be a deeper well that intersects the A- <br />Groove. AmerAlia's proposing one well drilled in the alluvium for monitoring purposes. <br />From a surface perspective, if we see any impact in the shallow alluvial wells, we will then <br />monitor via grab samples close to the lease, surface water from Yellow Creek. These will be <br />grab samples for water quality. <br />Ned Banta: <br />Will you be taking samples from Yellow Creek for background before you start the <br />operations for comparison? <br />Jerry Daub: <br />There are USGS data that exist from stations upgradient from Corral Gulch with water <br />quality data that are still being taken. That's the one station with the three digits are 242 on <br />this map. The other one is down at the confluence of the Yellow Creek and White River, <br />which is way downstream. There other intermittent stations that have intermittent data. <br />38 <br />
