Exhibit G Water Information (cont) <br /> DRMS shall be notified within two business days of the complaint <br /> and the proposed initial steps for the evaluation of the <br /> complaint . A written report will be submitted to DRMS within 30 <br /> days detailing the information collected during the investigation <br /> of the complaint, and proposed mitigation activity, if required. <br /> Post Reclamation <br /> Any slight groundwater mounding and shadowing associated <br /> with the slurry wall sealed portions of the pit are not <br /> anticipated to produce any adverse impacts to adjacent properties . <br /> Potential groundwater mounding around the mine will be mitigated <br /> by the South Platte River and the single irrigation return flow <br /> ditches surrounding the lined area. These existing water features <br /> will serve to regulate and balance groundwater elevations in the <br /> alluvium adjacent to the sealed pits . <br /> The operator does not anticipate any long-term post- <br /> reclamation ground water depletions, but if there are any, they <br /> would be replaced through a Colorado Water Court approved Plan of <br /> Augmentation. <br /> L.G. Everist, Inc . expects that prior to competition of the <br /> reservoirs a local government agency will purchase the storage <br /> rights and may begin final construction on the reservoirs . As <br /> water storage reservoirs are completed, they will be turned over <br /> to the purchaser for further development to complete the final <br /> features needed for developed water storage reservoirs . L.G. <br /> Everist will submit Technical Revisions to the DRMS if the <br /> purchaser makes changes prior to L.G. Everist receiving final <br /> reclamation approval and acreage releases from the Division. <br /> Discharge Permits Surface Water Management <br /> When necessary, ground water will be pumped and discharged <br /> from the West Farm Reservoirs mine under a CDPS Permit which the <br /> operator will obtain from the Colorado Department of Public Health <br /> and Environment, Water Quality Control Division (CDPHE-WQCD) . This <br /> permit will remain active during the life of the mine . The <br /> discharge points may change as mining progresses and all necessary <br /> changes will be submitted to the WQCD for modifications to the <br /> discharge points . <br /> Runoff from disturbed areas will be managed and controlled <br /> to protect against pollution, of either surface or groundwater <br /> through the implementation best management practices which include <br /> sloping disturbed areas inward toward the site, vegetating berms <br /> and other disturbed areas, and other site-specific controls as <br /> needed. As per the State Engineers Office requirements all <br /> stormwater collected for treatment will be discharged within 72 <br /> hours after the storm event ends . <br /> L.G.
