EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORMATION - REVISED 11/10/2022 <br /> Operations at the Stiles Mining Resource will affect surface water associated with the South Platte River <br /> located to the north of the mine(Exhibit C)and groundwater associated with the South Platte River <br /> alluvial aquifer(i.e., uppermost aquifer).The only structures on adjacent lands with the potential to be <br /> affected by the mining operation are five (5)wells that were identified within 600 feet of the permit <br /> boundary using on the Colorado Division of Water Resources(DWR)Colorado's Decision Support System <br /> (CDSS)Well Permit Viewer.The location of the wells is shown on Exhibit C.The following table <br /> summarizes construction details for each of the wells. <br /> _ gyp <br /> 55498-MH Monitoring/ 12 feet Alluvial Sorin Natural Resources Cross-gradient/ <br /> Sampling (Unnamed Aquifer) Partners LLC Up-gradient <br /> 55499-MH Monitoring/ 12 feet Alluvial Sorin Natural Resources Cross-gradient/ <br /> Sampling (Unnamed Aquifer) Partners LLC Up-gradient <br /> 283674 Irrigation 21 feet Alluvial Romero,Heidi&Juan Cross-gradient/ <br /> Stock (Unnamed Aquifer) Up-gradient <br /> 299707 Domestic 40 feet Alluvial Hernandez,Martin Cross-gradient/ <br /> (Unnamed Aquifer) Up-gradient <br /> 103102 Domestic 30 feet Alluvial Gurney,Norman Up-gradient <br /> (Unnamed Aquifer) <br /> All five(5)wells are completed within the alluvial aquifer(i.e., unnamed aquifer)and uses include <br /> monitoring/sampling, irrigation stock,and domestic.Given the up-gradient and/or cross-gradient <br /> location of all five (5)wells relative to any mining block being mined at the time and the high <br /> transmissivity of water flow through the alluvial aquifer, it is not anticipated that mining operations at <br /> the Site will adversely affect any of these wells. <br /> Mine process water,which includes groundwater from the dewatering operations and stormwater <br /> (precipitation and surface runoff),that collects in the mine pit will be directed into a settling basin <br /> within the pit to allow fine sediments to settle out before being pumped for discharge to the South <br /> Platte River.ASCI will maintain a topography at the Site during mining and reclamation operations to <br /> direct stormwater runoff from disturbed areas, piled material, and operating surfaces that is not <br /> collected in the mine pit to area(s)within the permit boundary where the water can percolate into the <br /> ground.Stormwater runoff that is not comingled with mine process water within the pit will not be <br /> discharged off-site or allowed to leave the permitted area.ASCI has applied for a National Pollutant <br /> Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br /> Environment(CDPHE)—Water Quality Control Division (WQCD). <br /> ASCI has submitted permit applications for a Gravel Pit Well Permit and Substitute Water Supply Plan <br /> (SWSP)approval with the Colorado DWR. For 2022,the estimated project water requirements will be <br />
