This report evaluates possible impacts of a mining proposal on the ground-water resources of the Prescott National Forest in the upper Verde River watershed. The report is divided into two parts. The first part describes the geology, hydrology, and stable-isotope chemistry of the regional carbonate aquifer near Drake, in Yavapai County, north-central Arizona. The second part evaluates the adequacy of hydrologic information submitted in the mining application.
