I have written extensive comments on that section and many others. The method used by the EIS contractors does not met the NEPA requirements for having a accepted scientific basis or being within the bounds of reason.<br /><br />Perhaps this ground water model can be used to determine the rate of flow in the R-Aquifer in the withdrawal areas and so give a time element for the transport of possible mine contaminated water. Having a estimate for the transport time would enable some estimate of dilution and attenuation of any contamination by mixing and ad/aborption. The current "model used in the DEIS is misused and the assumptions used are absurd.<br /><br />My extensive comments on the Draft EIS are available on my website for the Northern Arizona Uranium Project.Gregory Younthttp://www.northern-arizona-uranium-project.comnoreply@blogger.com
