Golden, Colorado 80403 <br /> Ph#(303)279-4150 Fax#(303)279-4799 <br /> Exhibit G — Water Information <br /> A desktop survey was conducted utilizing the 'USGS National Water Information System: <br /> Mapper'. All wells within one mile, and a few outside of a mile, were analyzed for recorded <br /> groundwater readings and have been noted on the map attached to this exhibit. The lowest <br /> point on the property, existing or design, has an elevation of 5408 Ft. The highest groundwater <br /> reading of the surveyed wells was 5379 Ft, putting the lowest point 29 Ft above the measured <br /> groundwater. Worth noting is the well with the highest ground water reading is the furthest <br /> South West measurement of the proposed affected land and the groundwater elevations <br /> decrease heading to the north and west making the groundwater elevation at the affected area <br /> lower than the elevation mentioned above. Test holes have also been dug approximately 10-15 <br /> Ft below existing ground elevations is different locations around the proposed affected land <br /> and no groundwater had been encountered. With the information gathered from onsite test <br /> holes and the USGS Desktop Survey it is not anticipated that any groundwater will be <br /> encountered during the course of mining operations. If groundwater is encountered during the <br /> mining operation the area will immediately be filled back in and compacted. Following the soil <br /> replacement, the area where groundwater was encountered will be delineated and avoided. A <br /> site specific plan will be created and implemented if groundwater is encountered. <br /> During the mining operation water will be needed for dust control. The water application rate is <br /> highly dependent on the capacity at which traffic is moving through the mine on a given day. <br /> Assuming 250 tractor trailers move through the site a day, an estimated 24,000 gallons of water <br /> will be needed.The source of water for the mine will be from a local fire hydrant. <br /> In the state of Colorado NPDES permits are issued from the EPA for permits on tribal lands and <br /> federal facilities. The authority to issue other permits has been delegated to the Colorado <br /> Department of Health and Environment. A CDPS General Permit COR400000 has already been <br /> issued for the proposed mine site by Colorado Water Quality Control Division. Pending approval <br /> of the Reclamation Permit Application the current permit will be amended. <br />
