EXHIBIT "G" <br /> 6.4.7 Water Information: <br /> (1) Impact to ground water: <br /> We do not anticipate significant impacts to groundwater. The mining area is essentially at <br /> the top of a rise in the area topography. The immediately underlying material is a sand <br /> stone conglomerate. There is not a direct connection to ground water that we are aware of. <br /> (2)(a) If the operation is expected to directly affect surface or ground water <br /> systems,then locate water structures facilities,etc. on Exhibit"C": <br /> No affects to ground or surface water have occurred with the existing operation and none <br /> are expected for the amendment area. <br /> (b) Identify all known aquifers: <br /> No aquifers are known. No borings or wells exist in the vicinity of the operation to <br /> provide information on any aquifers which may be below the sand stone conglomerate. <br /> (c) Provide a plan showing how water from de-watering operations or from <br /> runoff from disturbed areas,stockpiles,and operating surfaces will be managed to <br /> protect against pollution of surface and ground water, both during and after <br /> operations: <br /> There are no dewatering operations associated with this operation. Runoff from <br /> stockpiles and the mining area are to be handled according to the existing procedures and <br /> methods. Essentially,runoff will flow gradually toward the existing ephemeral <br /> drainageways which intersect the operation on the south side. Straw bales are currently <br /> used to slow down the flow, controlling any sediment generated on-site. For the topsoil <br /> stockpile located on the south side of the operation, straw bales will be placed at the toe <br /> of the topsoil stockpile. Once the pile is seeded and the grasses become established,no <br /> significant erosion should occur. <br /> (3) Project water requirements for mining and reclamation: <br /> Water will be needed for dust control and potable water for sanitary needs. Water is hauled <br /> to the site for the operational water needs. <br /> (4) Amount of water from each source to meet project water requirements: <br /> Water is obtained from the Operator's sources off site and/or purchased. Typically, about <br /> 1.8 acre feet of water are used annually, dependent on market demand for the product. <br /> 45 <br />
