Exhibit G <br /> Water Information <br /> 6.4.7 The Smith pit is a typically dry sit, only affected by rainfall in the immediate area. The <br /> mining operation should not affect any flow of water or ground water. Ground water in the <br /> immediate vicinity according to well permits is 35 feet. The pit operation only water usage will <br /> be for dust control. Water for this purpose will be purchased from a local commercial well if <br /> needed. <br /> Storm water plan for Smith Pit <br /> After receiving the go-ahead from MLRB, we will move top soil to the North side boundaries, <br /> thus creating a berm to hold excessive storm water out of actual pit working area. This is a flat <br /> open area with no waterways present. No run in or runoff of rain water is anticipated at this <br /> location. <br /> Machines that operate in the pit will have a designated parking area out of the working zone to <br /> reduce the chance of contamination.Topsoil and overburden piles will be seeded with <br /> approved seed mixture to hold slopes from rain and wind erosion. <br /> In the event ground water is exposed, it will be covered with 2 feet of overburden to stop an <br /> infiltration. <br /> Don Marr <br /> Reclamation, Mining <br /> & Safety Coordinator <br /> Yuma County Road and Bridge Dept. <br />
