EXHIBIT G WATER INFORMATION <br /> 1. General <br /> Prior to mining the site was a mixture of alfalfa and corn fields. Some portions of the property <br /> outside the mining area have naturally occurring oxbows and other low topography that facilitate <br /> riparian habitats. The ground water is within six feet of the surface. Surface water flows on the <br /> property are bound by the various irrigation ditches for the crop fields. The North Fork of the <br /> Gunnison River runs along the north and west sides of the property, over 200 feet away. The <br /> Uncompaghre River runs along the east side of the property, also over 200 feet away. <br /> The two principal ways that the gravel pit could affect the water quality of the area downstream are <br /> a)through poor sediment control within the site causing increased sedimentation downstream, and <br /> b) by fuel leakage from a ruptured tank. All activity that can generate sediment will take place in <br /> areas that drain to either sediment ponds or gravel filter berms. The vast majority of the operation <br /> will take place in the dewatered pit, allowing the entire pit to act as a large sediment pond. Fuel <br /> leakage is also not a problem since all fuel tanks on site will have secondary containment as well as <br /> strict SPCC Plan procedures for spill prevention and control. <br /> According to searches on the Division of Water Resources database,there are no wells within 600 <br /> feet of the mining pits. Map C-1 shows the nearest wells. <br /> A CDPHE discharge permit will be necessary for the dewatering of the mining pits. <br /> BRS&G Pit I l Ai a.J \srnci.h•t,-k( <br /> Alarch 2019 G-1 <br />
