EXHIBIT G <br /> WATER INFORMATION <br /> It is the operators intent to minimize the disturbances to the <br /> prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land, of the <br /> surrounding areas and to the quality and quantity of the surface <br /> and ground water system, both during and after mining and recla- <br /> mation. Albert Frei and Sons, Inc . believes they will be in <br /> compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations <br /> governing water and water rights as they understand them. <br /> Because of the geographic features around the mine, all offsite <br /> runoff is or will be diverted around the disturbed area. Any <br /> storm water runoff will be retained on the site and directed into <br /> the mining area when the mining and filling is taking place . <br /> When filling is complete there will be no exposed ground water on <br /> the mine area that did not exist prior to mining. <br /> Located within the permit area are 3 areas covered with water, <br /> one is the old gravel mine lake in the northwest part of the <br /> property, one is in the old fish hatchery area and the other is <br /> associated with the Bull Seep/Spring Ditch area on the west side <br /> of Stage 1 . In addition, there are a minor amount of wetland <br /> areas along the sides of the fish hatchery raceways and two small <br /> ponds in that area . The lake contains approximately 5 . 50 acres <br /> of water surface depending on the ground water elevation in any <br /> given season. The fish hatchery water covers approximately 1 . 74 <br /> acres . The Bull Seep area will not be disturbed and the only <br /> unknown amount of exposed water lies within the wetland areas . <br /> Until the wetlands can be mapped we will not know how much area <br /> they cover. If or when we have to replace wetlands the area they <br /> cover will match the mapped area. <br /> Review of Division of Water Resources well permits in the area <br /> around the site indicated the ground water table lies 3 to 25 <br /> feet below the surface in this area. This information was <br /> obtained from Division of Water Resources (DWR) well records that <br /> show the average static water depth for wells around the mining <br /> operation. Ground water will be exposed by this operation so a <br /> well permit, Temporary Substitute Supply Plan and/or Augmentation <br /> Plan will be needed for this facility prior to mining within 2 <br /> feet of the ground water table . As explained in the Mining Plan, <br /> slurry walls will be constructed around the areas to be mined to <br /> eliminate exposing large areas of ground water. Both slurry <br /> walls will be certified to permanently address evaporation losses <br /> if the lined area were not backfilled. The landowners have <br /> 22 <br />
