Exhibit G <br /> Peters 313 Site Water Information <br /> 1) The Peters 313 mining operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater <br /> systems. <br /> 2) The Peters 313 property is located about half of a mile to the northeast of Porter Creek; <br /> an intermittent stream that is typically dry most months of the year. Berms will be <br /> constructed around the perimeter of the permit area to retain onsite surface water <br /> runoff. Erosion control measures(Best Management Practices)will be installed along the <br /> perimeter of disturbed areas. A Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment <br /> Stormwater Construction Permit will be obtained prior to the start of mining operations. <br /> Previous test pitting performed by others at the Peters site showed no indication of water <br /> above a depth of 15 feet below the surface; therefore, it is anticipated that no <br /> groundwater will be encountered at the site. Weld County will ensure the pit excavation <br /> will not expose groundwater in the event that mining exceeds 15 feet by staying a <br /> minimum of two feet above groundwater. According to information obtained from the <br /> Colorado Division of Water Resources GIS files,the Peters 313 site is not located within a <br /> designated groundwater basin. <br /> 3) Water needs for gravel mining and processing operations are expected to be minimal. <br /> Water used in mining and crushing operations and for dust control is estimated to not <br /> exceed 4000 gallons per month during operations. <br /> 4) Water for dust control purposes will be hauled from one of the County's water wells that <br /> are decreed for dust control and industrial purposes. <br /> 5) A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) permitfrom the Water Quality <br /> Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health will not be necessary on this site <br /> because no water from the site will be discharged directly to surface waters. <br />
