Exhibit G — Water Information <br />1.) The operation is not expected to affect existing surface or groundwater systems. This project <br />will not have any water requirements for its operation. The only surface water would be <br />drainage that occurs at the site because of a heavy rainfall. All storm water runoff will be <br />maintained in the pit area. Because of the arid nature of Eastern Colorado, the site will <br />generally not be impacted by water. The water table in the Ogallala aquifer beneath this area is <br />substantially below the surface (approximately 125' deep). <br />2.) A storm water permit will not be required. Storm water will be contained in the pit area. <br />Exhibit H — Wildlife Information <br />Common species in Eastern Colorado could include bird species of Cassin's sparrow, chestnut collared <br />longspur, lark bunting, western meadowlark, ferruginous and Swainsan's hawks, and pheasants. Small <br />mammals that might be found include white-tailed and black -tailed jackrabbit, badger, pronghorn <br />antelope, coyote, swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long-tailed weasel, and several species of mice. <br />Reptiles might include the western rattlesnake, race snake, western box turtle, and six -lined racerunner. <br />Other animals and birds common to Kit Carson County could also be found at the site from time to time. <br />Based on visits to the site, no significant wildlife was observed. As this site is also seeded, wildlife should <br />continue to increase the favorable habitat. <br />
