i'm not sure there is enough elevation in the region for this thought, its hard to tell on sat.image (w/out contour lines) but it appears there could be some form of terraced drain system between the active pit east of the hwy, to bruces filled pit west of the hwy both connected to the e-w running creek north of both properties. when they quit digging on the west side, they dammed it up so it could fill w/ groundwater and precipitation. also explains why they dont have to pump out the active quarry. thoughts??
Triple points. Geoligist consulted believes that the east side pit, because of the "recontouring" is trapping groundwater and sending it west to the quarry pit.
