Banks and Gesso, LLC Exhibit G -Water Information The proposed rock quarry is expected to have minor affects on surface and ground water systems, as described below. Surtace Water There are two unnamed, minor, ephemeral drainageways in the quarry area that will be affected (by excavation and filling). The drainage basins for these drainageways are very small and flow volumes are small also (flow only in response to rainfall or snowmelt). Runoff from disturbed areas will be diverted through sediment control basins prior to discharge to North Clear Creek. Exhibit B-index Map shows the tributaries and North Clear Creek and Exhibit C shows the sediment control and drainage diversion facilities. No significant affects on the quantity or quality of discharge to North Clear Creek are anticipated. There are no perennial streams, ponds, springs, or bodies of open water on the permit property. Ground Water The only aquifer present in the permit area is the fractured, crystalline Precambrian rock underlying the entire site. Ground water can only exist in fractures and openings and these rock types are typically very poor, non-tributary aquifers. Depth to ground water is expected to be 400-800 ft below ground surface and the quarry will have insignificant effect on the ground water system. There are no registered wells on the property or within 600 ft of the affected area. No ground water wells will be installed or pumped as a water supply for the quarry. There will be no dewatering associated with this mine. Project Water Requirements The only water requirement for this project is for dust control and possibly for irrigation of revegetated areas in the early stages of plant growth. All water will be trucked into the site. No washing of aggregates will take place. The initial estimate of the daily water requirement is 30,000 gallons per day (e.g. 3-10,000 gallon tanker trucks).
