EXHIBIT G WATER INFORMATION Introduction The site is located about 0 . 75 miles south of Fort Lupton, Colorado. Please refer to EXHIBITB-VICINITY MAP for the property configuration and the relationships to surrounding geological features . The site is bordered on the north and east by the neighboring agricultural properties, on the west by the US HWy 85 and on the south by a rural residential area and a water storage reservoir. Ditches on and around the property are used to supply irrigation water from off site large supply ditches . The mine will be operated as a dry mine and at the current time mining will not expose groundwater as the groundwater table is approximately 33 feet below the surface at it' s highest seasonal point . As mining progress into the gravel deposit, test holes will periodically be dug to make sure mining will not be with 2 feet of the highest ground water level . GROUND WATER WELLS We do not expect this mining operation to have any or minimal impacts on the prevailing hydrologic balance, since we do not plan to impact the ground water table. TABLE G-1 is a list of 15 wells obtained from the Office of the State Engineer' s files, that are within 200 feet of the permit area. The wells high- lighted in blue are monitoring wells associate with the Denver Water Board reservoir south of this permit area. The operator owns 2 wells an irrigation well and a domestic well. The remain- ing 6 wells are domestic/stock wells, one (1) is a deep well (highlighted green) and three (3) are shallow wells drawing water from the surface aquifer. MAP EXHIBIT G-1 WELL MAP shows the approximate well locations since the well permit locations listed in the Division of Water Resource data base are not always accurate, especially for older wells. POST RECLAMATION The backfilling the lower 10 to 18 feet of the excavated area is not anticipated to produce any adverse impacts to adjacent properties, since the inert fill material will be placed above the ground water table. The operator does not anticipate any long-term post-reclamation ground water depletions, but if there are any, they would be replaced through a Colorado Water Court approved Plan of Augmentation. DISCHARGE PERMITS SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT Since no groundwater will be exposed pumping and discharged from the mined area will not need a CDPS Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Con- trol Division (CDPHE-WQCD) . Runoff from disturbed areas will be managed and controlled to protect against pollution, of either surface or groundwater through the implementation best management practices which in- clude sloping disturbed areas inward toward the site, vegetating berms and other disturbed areas, and other site-specific controls 8 1/2 Enterprises LLC.
