"a dedicated twelve-mile rail spur to the Yerington Mine.""An important component of the infrastructure strategy is the dewatering of the Yerington pit lake, required to enable the expansion of mining activities and unlock the valuable utility of water in Mason Valley. This pit lake, containing approximately 43,000 acre-feet of clean water, necessitates a highly-engineered pumping operation for its complete emptying. Over a two-year timeline and at a cost of over $50 million, the water may be made available to offset existing irrigation demands and recharge the groundwater aquifer in the Mason Valley.
Notably, comprehensive water quality assessments spanning more than three decades have demonstrated a steady improvement in the Yerington pit lake’s water quality, which presently aligns with or closely approaches drinking water standards, rendering it suitable for a multitude of beneficial applications."
