EXHIBIT G - Water loformation <br />The proposed operation is not expected to directly affect the surface and ground water resowces in <br />and around the proposed permit area. The proposed permit azea has no stock ponds, streams, <br />ditches or reservoirs, which receive drainage and/or runoff from storm events. Due to low <br />groundwater elevations the proposed operation is anticipated to be a "dry pit" operation. <br />Overburden will be placed as backfill into the excavated azeas, re-graded mrd reclaimed to <br />resemble the previous topography at a lower elevation. Previous site operations and the adjacent <br />gravel mining operations have historically been dry pit operations. <br />2. No swface water or groundwater will be intercepted or exposed. Silt fences, straw bales and/or <br />berms will be used in active mining areas to contain any stormwaters as necessary to the active <br />phase area. A General Permit Application for Stormwa[erDischarges Associated with Sand and <br />Grave] Production Operations is not necessary as all stormwater will be 100% contained. This has <br />been confirmed via telephone by Mr. Nathan Moore CDPHE -Water Qaality Division. Any <br />stormwa[ers would be wholly contained onsite and would consist of direct precipitation. <br />3. The groundwater table will no[ be impacted by this operation. There aze no wells in the proposed <br />area or within 200 feet of the proposed area of operations. No water rights will be impacted by this <br />operation in compliance with Colorado water laws and regulations. <br />4. Mobile contract crushing operators will supply their own water needs for dust abatement via <br />tanker truck from offsite sowces. An estimated daily volume of 1000 to 3000 gallons may be <br />required for dust suppression in the operations area, the active phase area and/or on the main haul <br />and temporary spw roads. <br />5. There are two PVC water pipelines crossing the permit area which supply water to a small stock <br />pond and misc. watering troughs south and east (outside of) of the proposed permit azea. Water is <br />transferred to the concrete cistem (shown on the map) from the landowners irrigated pastwe <br />ditches across County Road 613 to the north. From the cistem the water is conveyed via separate <br />2 inch and 4 inch PVC pipelines to other azeas of the landowner's property. The piping wilt be <br />moved and replaced as necessary as excavation operations move across the piping. <br />
