- Description:
- Complex water resource systems occur within the southeastern Idaho phosphate field. Environmental factors such as the geologic, topographic, hydrogeologic, chemical, and climatic characteristics of the area largely control the occurrence, movement and quality of these water resource systems. Mining operations have the potential to impact the water resource systems through alteration of the existing environmental characteristics. At certain mine sites the water resource systems have the potential to interfere with mining operations through mine pit flooding and through pit and waste dump stability problems. Potential hydrogeologic impacts from mining and potential hydrologic limitations to mining are often difficult to predict because of the many variables involved.
