EXHIBIT G WATER INFORMATION <br />1. Surface Water General Discussion <br />The surface water features within and near the permit area are the Colorado River, Eagle River, and <br />Deep Creek. The Colorado River runs south along the western edge of the proposed permit <br />boundary. The Colorado River joins with the Eagle River at Dotsero. Deep Creek flows into the <br />Colorado River from the west at a confluence northwest of the proposed permit. The proposed <br />permit is located above the Colorado River floodplain. Table G-1 shows the recent discharge rates <br />of the Colorado River at a USGS gaging station 1.5 miles downstream from the Eagle River. <br />According to USGS, the natural flow of the Colorado River has been affected by transmountain <br />diversion, storage reservoirs, power development, diversions for irrigation of about 68,000 acres <br />upstream from the station and return flow from irrigated areas. <br />20,000 <br />18,000 <br />16,000 <br />14,000 <br />12,000 <br />Ol <br />1 10,000 <br />y 8,000 <br />6,000 <br />4,000 <br />2,000 <br />0 <br />do <br />Table G-1: Colorado River Discharge (from USGS) <br />Colorado River Discharge <br />Station 09070500 near Dotsero, CO <br />Lat 39°38'38", Long 107°04'38" <br />i <br />AilI <br />oA °o`� °o`� oo° oo° oti° °ti° °titi °titi otiti oti3 <br />Rincon Materials G-1 <br />Cm -g lawicki and Asaociatcs.
