. Water Resource Analysis of Proposed Kraemer Dolomite Quarries in Dakota County
Jim Berg, DNR Waters 1/24/00
jim .berg@dnr.state.mn.us
Waterford Township Site:
. Proposed mining of 400 acres to a depth of 190 feet (50 feet above the top of the Jordan Sandstone)
. Distinct water table and bedrock aquifers at this location (water table 1 0 feet below surface).
. Two layers (PDC/Jordan and water table) ofthe MPCA Metro Model used to simulate steady state
drawdown to the maximum proposed mining depth.
. Dewatering effects estimated within the 10 feet or greater drawdown area.
Impacts include:
. Dewatering of approximately 40 miles of perennial streams - mostly affecting the Chub Creek
watershed.
. Dewatering approximately 6.5 square miles of wetlands (mostly shallow marsh).
. Reduction of base flow to the Cannon River (wild and scenic river) along approximately 6 miles of
the river.
. Lowered water levels in approximately 115 domestic and municipal wells.
. The discharge rate from the pit required to mine at the maximum proposed depth was estimated by
the Metro Model at approximately 20,000 gallons per minute.
. Qualifying Statements:
. Computer ground water models do not account for fracture flow or solution cavity flow, which may
alter the size and shape of the actual affected area. These types of flow may create effects beyond the
red ellipses shown on the figures.
. The model assumes steady state even though the proposed pumping will be transient (with operations
shut down during the winter). However, the permeability of most of the bedrock and drift are high
enough that steady state or near steady state conditions will be achieved within the seasonal
operational period. Some notable exceptions are thick till areas around Chub Lake near the proposed
Waterford Site.
. The model is designed with constant heads (infmite water supply) along the Cannon River and the
western portion of the Vermillion River. Therefore, the modeled cone of depression cannot exceed
these boundaries. We do not currently know at this stage of our analysis what real flow conditions
might cause these rivers not to act as constant head boundaries.
