Water Information(cont.) Exhibit G <br /> the property. Data collection began, in first quarter 2024 and <br /> will continue until 5 quarters worth has been obtained, as <br /> discussed in the Water Quality Monitoring and Sampling Method <br /> Plans supplied in this Exhibit. <br /> Post Reclamation <br /> Any slight ground water 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 ground water mounding will be mitigated by the South <br /> Platte River and the Lupton Bottom Ditch East Lateral on the east, <br /> the Lupton Bottom Ditch on the west and Little Dry Creek/Slate <br /> Ditch in the southwest. These existing water features will serve <br /> to regulate and balance ground water elevations in the alluvium <br /> adjacent to the sealed pits. <br /> The amendment areas are located north of Weld County Road 18 <br /> and adjacent to a lined reservoir currently being reclaimed by <br /> another operator. Therefore, ground water mounding and shadowing <br /> on the east, south, & west sides associated with the slurry wall <br /> sealed portions of the Northeast Phases are not anticipated to <br /> produce any adverse impacts to adjacent properties. <br /> Post-reclamation ground water depletions, if any, will be <br /> replaced through a Colorado Water Court approved Plan of <br /> Augmentation. <br /> Finally, L.G. Everist, Inc. has entered into a contract to <br /> sell its developed water storage at the Fort Lupton Sand and <br /> Gravel Mine to the City of Aurora. At this time all of the <br /> reservoirs in the existing north area are under contract with the <br /> City of Aurora with the exception of the Sandstead and Blue Ribbon <br /> Phase. Under the sales agreement, as water storage reservoirs are <br /> completed, they will be sold to and transferred to the City of <br /> Aurora for use as municipal water storage. Since the 2012 <br /> amendment, the release and transfers have been completed for the <br /> Hill-Oakley and Fort Lupton East, Meadows Lake, Meadows West and <br /> Vincent West reservoirs to the City of Aurora. The remaining <br /> reservoir transfers will be complete once we receive final <br /> reclamation approval and release of each from the Division. <br /> Discharge Permits Surface Water Management <br /> When necessary, ground water will be pumped and discharged <br /> from the Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine under a CDPS Permit <br /> which the operator obtained from the Colorado Department of Public <br /> Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division (CDPHE- <br /> WQCD) . This permit will remain active during the life of the mine. <br /> The discharge points may change as mining progresses and all <br /> necessary changes will be submitted to the WQCD prior to <br /> modifications of the discharge points. <br /> Runoff from disturbed areas will be managed to protect <br /> against pollution of either surface or groundwater by directing <br /> runoff into the site. <br /> L.G.Everist, Inc.
