Introduction
Water at the Cerise Gravel Pit will fall into two main categories: processing and employee use.
Processing water will be needed for the washing of rock as well as dust control throughout the
site. This water does not need to be potable. Employee used water will need to be potable.
Processing Water
Gravel excavation operations like the Cerise Gravel Pit consume water in various ways. These
are:
1. Dust control during crushing and screening
2. Washing of rock
3. Dust control of mining areas
4. Dust control of internal roads
The majority of the water used in processing will be used in washing and crushing. This is
anticipated to total 15 ac -ft a year. Dust control for all areas should total 10 ac -ft per year.
To satisfy the above non -potable water requirements, United has agreed to a contract with the
Basin Water Conservancy District to provide water via the Basin Ditch under "free river"
conditions. In the event of a senior water right calling on the Ditch water, United has an
agreement to purchase BWCD water as needed.
Employee Use Water
Potable water for employee use will be provided in the form of bottled water brought on site by
United. At least one portable toilets will always be on site.
