Interactions between open mining and groundwater flow systems at the East Area of the Gay Mine, Idaho. Project report C-7651 Item Info

Title:
Interactions between open mining and groundwater flow systems at the East Area of the Gay Mine, Idaho. Project report C-7651
Authors:
Corbet, Jr., Thomas F.
Date Created (ISO Standard):
1980-03
Description:
Phosphate ore is mined from open pits at the Gay Mine, located 30 miles northeast of Pocatello, Idaho. Mining activity interacts with groundwater flow systems that are controlled primarily by complex fault block structure. Flooding of the pits by groundwater discharging from the Wells formation has seriously hindered mining operations. This report presents a conceptual model of groundwater flow systems to aid in the reduction of detrimental interactions between mining and water resource systems
