    I'm sure the quarry owners would be glad to sell that property to the Government, then they would not have to restore the property when operations cease.

    I would think there are pumps running to remove water from the quarry now. Turn off the pumps cost to fill 0

    We have a lot of open pit copper mines in Aridzona, that would make great landfills. These giant pits are very useable properties.

    No wonder that California added water to the commodities list. In 5 years or more water will be worth as much as gold is now. Prevention and preserving is the key.

    So how are you going to handle the chemicals from the roads and cars leaking on them flowing into that water how are you going to clean it.
    Are you going to put native mussels and clams and plants in there and land plants?

    Why should the Federal Government put dime one towards this project? Water projects should be paid for by the water users.

      Its already a quarry. Unlike mining for minerals, rock quarries aren't polluted to hell and back. Its just blowing up rock and hauling it out pretty much. Doesn't leave behind tailings ponds or any other form of polluted slurry.
