Well ID & Name
General Location
Permit Condition
Up-gradient (Clean Water Capture)
300 ft. up-gradient of Dry Fork dump
Down-gradient (Alluvial Extraction)
900 ft. down-gradient of Bingham Canyon dump
- Target pumping rate is 100 acre-feet/year based on a 3 year rolling average¹
- Pumping to continue until sulfate concentration <5000 mg/L
- If sulfate concentration >5000 mg/L resume pumping
3200 ft. down-gradient of Bingham Canyon dump
- If alluvial well water level <92 feet then decrease pumping rate to match inflow
- Pumping rate may be decreased or stopped to match inflow if it is determined that up-gradient alluvial pumping well(s) are diminishing available alluvial water
3500 ft. down-gradient of Bingham Canyon dump
- Pump alluvium at a rate consistent with available inflow of contaminated water
- Pumping may cease if the quantity of alluvial water is less than the well can sustain
5600 ft. down-gradient of Bingham Canyon dump
- None specific to Dry Fork plume
Note:
¹ Target pumping rate is 100 acres-feet per year based upon a three year rolling average for both K83 and ECG2787 combined. The pumping rates for ECG2787 may influence available water
that can be extracted from the alluvium by K83.

ECG2787
(Bingham Canyon Alluvial Well)
- Keep surrounding alluvium substantially dewatered
- Applies to both wells
1500 ft. upgradient of Dry Fork dump, and it's replacement of COG1172
COG2865²
(Picnic Flats)
²COG2865 is a replacement for well COG1172 that was abandoned.
