(E) Water Requirements EXHIBIT G <br /> Table G.(E).1 - Water Requirements shows the water requirements for the primary mining phases. <br /> TABLE G.(E).1-Water Requirements <br /> Mining Phase General Water Usage Ground Water Usage <br /> Development • Water will be sourced from well Water will be used mainly for dust Less than 1 acre feet <br /> Colorado well permit#80109. suppresion and cleaning of equipment <br /> Mining • Water will be sourced from well Water will be used mainly for dust Up to 25 acre-feet of <br /> Colorado well permit#80109. suppresion and cleaning of equipment groundwater will be used per <br /> annum <br /> Reclamation Phase • No water requirement WA N/A <br /> (F) Sources Of Water To Supply The Project Water Requirements For The Mining <br /> Operation And Reclamation <br /> Water necessary for the mining operation and reclamation activities will primarily be supplied by an on- <br /> site well, drilled to a depth of 200 feet, under Well Permit #80109 issued by the Office of the State Engineer, <br /> Colorado Division of Water Resources. This well will provide a reliable water source to meet project needs <br /> while adhering to regulatory standards. <br /> Potential Future Wells <br /> While the project currently has only one permitted water well (Well Permit #80109), up to three additional <br /> wells may be drilled if operational or monitoring needs arise. Their approximate locations are shown in 6.4.3 <br /> EXHIBIT C - General Exhibit Map on page 7. The reclamation cost estimate in Exhibit L accounts for up <br /> to four total wells (including the existing well), ensuring sufficient financial coverage for proper plugging <br /> and abandonment if additional wells are ultimately constructed. If fewer than four wells are developed, the <br /> reclamation plan and associated costs will be adjusted accordingly. <br /> Table g.(F).1- Water Sources shows the water requirements for the primary mining phases. <br /> TABLE G.(F).1-Water Sources <br /> VV�Ic `in vro <br /> Development Well <br /> Reclamation Phase N/A <br /> (G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit <br /> The West Side Placer project is not required to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permit <br /> for its operation,as there will be no discharge of pollutants into any natural waterway or body of water.All water used <br /> in the mining and processing operations will be carefully managed on-site,with no external discharge that could impact <br /> surrounding water resources. <br /> 46 <br /> HARDROCK/METAL MINING REGULAR(112)APPLICATION AuPt Industries LLC I PO Box 1424-Edwards,Colorado 81632 I 970 306 1784 <br />
