EXHIBIT G <br /> WATER INFORMATION <br /> No Change to this Exhibit from that presented in 2013. <br /> There are no water structures on the site. The closest <br /> stream is the Huerfano River that at its closest point is approx- <br /> imately 1, 550 feet north of the site. The floor of the mine will <br /> be approximately 20 feet above the river flood plane. Mining <br /> will not reach the ground water table. Our investigations <br /> indicate the ground water table is more than 35 to 65 feet below <br /> the surface of the site, so no ground water will be exposed. <br /> Review of well data on the surrounding areas indicates the <br /> highest water table is associated with the river alluvium that is <br /> approximately 35 feet below the floor level of the mine. We do <br /> not expect to encounter ground water on this site for that <br /> reason. We will not affect the hydrologic balance of surface or <br /> subsurface water in the area. <br /> The operators intent is to minimize the disturbances to the <br /> prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and of the <br /> surrounding area and to the quality and quantity of the surface <br /> and ground water system, both during and after mining and recla- <br /> mation. We believe we will be in compliance will all state and <br /> federal laws and regulations governing water and water rights as <br /> the property develops . <br /> We estimate the current water uses at the mine including, <br /> dust control require 3 . 00 ac-ft per year. This water is hauled <br /> from sources we have that are approved for this use. Generally <br /> it is purchased from the Town of Walsenburg, CO. No water will be <br /> used for reclamation, nor will the revegetated areas be irri- <br /> gated. <br /> The pit is a dry mine so will not be dewatered and will be <br /> graded such that all surface water runoff is retained on the site <br /> and all off site storm runoff will be diverted around the permit <br /> area. <br /> W56- Hribar Pit Amendment December 2020 <br /> 22 <br />
