yes this is a new pit and will not be excavated over any kind of flow channel. also the excavation is for silica sand and will occur over a 10 to 15 year period. thanks for the input
I'm reviewing a set of plans that's proposing a 400 acre sand mining pit excavating down to a depth of 50 to 60 feet below ground water. my question is, will this have cause a lowering of ground water on adjacent properties affecting neighboring wells, streams and environmentally sensative wetlands?
