Thumbnail image of Monitoring and Mitigation Plan for Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems and Water Wells document cover

This document proposes an approach to monitoring and mitigation of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) identified through the NEPA process as being dependent on project area regional groundwater and therefore at risk of being impacted by mine dewatering activities.
