EXHIBIT G — WATER INFORMATION <br /> This information follows the requirements as outlined in Section 6.4.7. <br /> Surface Water <br /> The operation is not expected to directly affect surface water systems. <br /> Aquifers <br /> The only aquifer under the site is the Valley Fill Aquifer. <br /> Dewatering <br /> Water from dewatering operations will be pumped into a pond on the adjacent La Poudre site (refer <br /> to Mining Plan Map). Runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will be <br /> diverted onto the mine and discharged via the dewatering system. Undisturbed areas will be <br /> maintained as pasture or another suitable cover crop to control weeds and prevent erosion. All areas <br /> disturbed by the mining operation will be revegetated per the reclamation plan. <br /> Project Water Requirements <br /> Water lost with material — 15 acre-feet/year <br /> Dust control— 5 acre-feet/year <br /> Evaporation from dewatering trenches— 7 acre-feet/year <br /> Total — approximately 27 acre-feet/year <br /> Source of Water <br /> It is anticipated that all water for the operation of the site will be provided by groundwater. The <br /> applicant will use shares of the Whitney Ditch to replace depletions to the stream. We are in the <br /> process of submitting a temporary substitute supply plan (tssp) application to the Office of the State <br /> Engineer for projected water requirements. We will forward the DMG a copy of the tssp upon <br /> request. <br /> National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)permit <br /> The applicant will update the NPDES Permit for the La Poudre site to include this site. We will <br /> forward a copy of the permit upon request. <br /> NORTH LA POUDRE RESOURCE Page-26- <br />
