7. Exhibit G - Water Information <br /> The Three Bells Mine operation is not expected to directly affect surface water or <br /> groundwater. The mining is relatively shallow,typically to a depth of approximately 20 feet <br /> below ground surface. <br /> Impact to groundwater will be minimal along the west side existing mine, Cache la Poudre <br /> River. Any depletions to the Cache la Poudre River that are associated with mining are <br /> currently mitigated to prevent injury to the vested senior water rights by having an approved <br /> Temporary Substitute Water Supply Plan in place. This plan will remain in effect until the <br /> liners have been certified or backfilling is complete and there is no longer a need for <br /> processing water. <br /> No toxic or hazardous chemicals or liberating agents are used for mineral extraction. <br /> Estimated water requirements for the project vary depending on several factors including <br /> season and precipitation. Projected water usage estimates range from 75,000-900,000 <br /> gallons per month. Monthly water usage and future estimates are shown in Table 4. <br /> Table 3: Three Bells Makeup Water <br /> Month Wash Water(gallons) Water for Dust Control and <br /> Construction(gallons) <br /> September 2013 - 850,000 <br /> October 2013 - 600,000 <br /> November 2013 - 250,000 <br /> December 2013 - 150,000 <br /> January 2014 - 75,000 <br /> February 2014 - 75,000 <br /> March 2014 - 800,000 <br /> April 2014 - 800,000 <br /> May 2014 136,560 800,000 <br /> June 2014 131,040 900,000 <br /> July 2014 163,200 900,000 <br /> August 2014 115,920 900,000 <br /> September 2014 105,120 850,000 <br /> October 2014 193,920 600,000 <br /> November 2014 181,920 250,000 <br /> December 2014 110,400 150,000 <br /> January 2015 72,000 75,000 <br /> February 2015 132,000 75,000 <br /> March 2015 1 132,000 800,000 <br /> April 2015 144,000 800,000 <br /> GEI Consultants,Inc. 20 June 2014 <br /> Three Bells Mine Reclamation Permit Amendment <br />
