EXHIBIT G—Water Information <br /> 1) The operation is not expected to affect existing surface or groundwater systems. This <br /> project will not have any water requirements for its operation. The only surface water <br /> would be drainage that occurs at the site because of a heavy rainfall. All storm water <br /> runoff will be maintained in the pit area. Because of the arid nature of eastern <br /> Colorado, the site will generally not be impacted with water. The water table in the <br /> Ogallala aquifer beneath this area is substantially below the surface. <br /> 2) A storm water permit will not be required. Storm water will be contained in the pit <br /> area. <br /> EXHIBIT H—Wildlife Information <br /> Common species in northeast Colorado could include bird species of Cassin's sparrow, chestnut <br /> collared longspur, lark bunting, horned lark, mourning doves, western meadowlark, ferruginous <br /> and Swainsan's hawks, and pheasants. Small mammals that might be found include cottontail, <br /> white-tailed and black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, pronghorn antelope, coyote, swift fox, plains <br /> pocket gopher, long-tailed weasel, and several species of mice. Reptiles might include the <br /> western rattlesnake, race snake, western box turtle, and six-lined racerunner. Other animals <br /> and birds common to Phillips County could also be found at the site from time-to-time. <br /> Based on several visits to the site, no significant wildlife was observed. <br /> EXHIBIT I —Soils Information <br /> A copy of the soils information provided by the Phillips County Natural Resource Conservation <br /> Service is attached in the pre-mining section. <br />
