10:41:19 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : There are breccia pipe mines where soil contamination has been identified (including Canyon Mine, where soil uranium levels are above background prior to ore being removed) and Hack and Pigeon mines both have ore that has washed out from tailing piles during flash floods.  I disagree with the final bullet in the last mine.  Soil contamination post reclamation is greater than during mining, and is in levels high enough to be toxic to some wildlife.
10:42:30 From  Joelynn ASHLEY  to  Everyone : Ron, will we be able to obtain a copy of the ppt that is being presented. Thank you Joelynn
10:43:00 From  Ron Doba  to  Everyone : yes, it will be posted on our web site.
10:43:55 From  arika peacock  to  Everyone : ]
10:44:35 From  Caroline's iPhone  to  Everyone : Thank you. Sorry have to depart.
10:44:54 From  Bryan Bates  to  Everyone : Per my reading, the hydrogeology of the region around the Grand Canyon uranium mine is very complex and not mapped.  Thus we do not know whether and/or how uranium or other elements can migrate through the hydrology.  I believe it more valuable to get solid science on this hydrogeologic region before continuing with mining.
10:46:35 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : Actually the highest water level infiltrated into the mine in 2019 - 10,667,441 gallons.
10:47:31 From  Curtis Moore  to  Everyone : Will you please let us do our presentation without the Sierra Club's commentary?  We didn't interrupt your presentation
10:47:53 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : Just correcting the facts. I think facts are important.
10:48:01 From  Curtis Moore  to  Everyone : Agree 1,000%
10:54:27 From  doug wolf  to  Everyone : does slide 12 slide reflect inflow measurements or outflow/pumping measurements?
10:59:49 From  Taylor McKinnon  to  Everyone : If there's any water left in the Coconino...
11:07:27 From  Taylor McKinnon  to  Everyone : Please clarify Doug Wolf's question about whether slide 12 shows inflow or outflow/pumping data. We are not aware of any inflow volume measurements.
11:08:18 From  Ron Doba  to  Everyone : all, please hold questions until the end of the presentation... thanks!
11:14:19 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : Question: Do you know if the Redwall-Muav well is hydrologically downgradient of the mine? Comment: USGS research revealed that soil uranium levels at all "reclaimed" mines (post-1980s mining) in Grand Canyon area was higher than background and greater than soil uranium levels at active mine sites.
11:16:13 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : Reference for previous statement: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/70047238
11:19:28 From  Jocelyn Gibbon  to  Everyone : Q: I'm not a hydrogeologist, but had understood that in many places there is interconnection between the Coconino and RM aquifers. How widely agreed/understood is it that there is no such opportunity for interconnection between the two in this area?
11:22:08 From  Jan Balsom  to  Everyone : I believe we should be aware that despite the commitment to funding the science plan after the 2012 EIS, very little funding has been dedicated … Those of us who worked on the 2012 document were hoping that additional science would be supported to know if impacts exist.  We simply don't know the answers …
11:24:48 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : "The old ages, which generally increase with distance from the San Francisco Peaks (Fig. 5), of these sites is suggestive of flow path capture from the regional groundwater flowsystemin the Redwall-Muav aquifer. Interestingly, mean age at the Canyon Mine Observation well screened in the Coconino aquifer is similar to nearby Redwall-Muav aquifer wells. This finding suggests a hydrologic connection in the area of Canyon Mine or similar recharge sources and groundwater velocities to that hydrologic position in the two systems." - Solder et al. 2020
11:29:15 From  Ron Doba  to  TLamkin(Direct Message) : I should probably conclude questions in about 5-10 minutes. What do you think?
11:37:55 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : Thank you for the presentation. I am curious about the high water level mentioned earlier. I would like to hear the question asked and a response.
11:40:26 From  Ron Doba  to  TLamkin(Direct Message) : Austin just joined us
11:41:17 From  Ron Doba  to  TLamkin(Direct Message) : Austin wants you to keep running the meeting
11:41:29 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : Thank you for taking my question!
11:43:08 From  Jan Balsom  to  Everyone : The concern we have at GRCA is that the perched aquifer is affecting the springs that discharge along the SRim.  My sense is that we don't know enough since we have very limited monitoring of south rim springs
11:44:39 From  Morgan O'Connor-ADEQ NW Community Liaison  to  Everyone : Thank you @Energy Fuels for the presentation.
11:45:03 From  Zach Stevens  to  Everyone : Thank you for your presentation, Mark, Scott, and Stewart!
11:45:06 From  David Newlin  to  Everyone : Thank you, Energy Fuels.  +
11:45:15 From  djbills  to  Everyone : Do not over look the fact that there are public supply wells between the mine with more projected that can move the GW divide further south.
11:45:16 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : Perhaps the Partnership and Technical Advisory Committee could follow up with your comment, Jan, pulling together the science and then having a more detailed presentation on the hydrogeology of that area? Something like that to address your concern.
11:45:26 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : Thank you!
11:45:47 From  Jan Balsom  to  Everyone : thanks Erin ..
11:48:47 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : let me make a correction to my last sentence: "Something like that to address the concern you raise, identify data gaps, and the issue Don raises, with public supply wells moving the divide."
11:58:12 From  Austin Aslan  to  Everyone : Erin, I’d love a guided visit! I walk by there a lot, would love a peek inside the fence sometime...
11:58:29 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : Yes! We will make it happen
11:58:34 From  Jocelyn Gibbon  to  Everyone : Actually I will add that the Water for Arizona Coalition has a new "rural groundwater" webpage: https://www.waterforarizona.com/groundwater
11:58:47 From  Kira  to  Everyone : I would, too, Erin.
11:58:51 From  Alicyn Gitlin (she/her)  to  Everyone : bit.ly/irreplaceablegrandcanyon
11:59:05 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : Yes, Kira! Will be in touch
11:59:11 From  Morgan O'Connor-ADEQ NW Community Liaison  to  Everyone : Me too Erin
11:59:37 From  Erin Young  to  Everyone : Will do Morgan, I'll be in touch!
11:59:57 From  Greg.Clifton  to  Everyone : thank you Mr. Lamkin!
12:00:41 From  Greg.Clifton  to  Everyone : and thank you Ron Doba!
12:00:44 From  Kira  to  Everyone : Thanks, Erin!
