<br /> <br />EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />Review of Division of Water Resources well permits in the <br />area around the site indicated the ground water table lies 7+ <br />feet below the surface in this area. This information was <br />obtained from the average surface to static water depth from <br />Division of Water Resources (DWR) well records on the mining <br />operation. Ground water will be exposed by this operation so a <br />Substitute Supply Plan and/or Augmentation Plan will be needed <br />for this facility. The landowners have adequate water available <br />to use in this plan. We will obtain that permit prior to mid <br />within 2 feet of the normal ground water level. There are 12~ <br />water wells on the site, again owned by the surface land owners. <br />The only ditches crossing the site are those owned by the <br />surface land owners. The Western Mutual Ditch runs along parts <br />of the east and south permit lines. This ditch will not be <br />affected by mining. <br />There may be minor wetland areas on the site. If we mine <br />jurisdictional wetland area we will obtain the necessary permits <br />prior to mining those areas. A Storm Water Discharge Permit will <br />be prepared for the facility and sine dewatering will take place <br />in some of the mining area we will obtain the necessary permit to <br />pump the area. The pit will be graded such that all surface <br />water runoff is allowed to follow its historic patterns. Because <br />of the geographic features around the mine, all offsite runoff is <br />diverted around the disturbed area. <br />We estimate dust control for the various parts of the <br />operation, i.e. roads, crushing, washing, etc, will be 15 ac-ft <br />per year. This water will be obtained from a souzce_app yr eo d f_or <br />,that use. No water will be used for reclamation, nor will the <br />revegetated areas be irrigated. <br />It is the operators intent is to minimize the disturbances <br />to the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land, of the <br />surrounding areas and to the quality and quantity of the surface <br />and ground water system, both during and after mining and <br />reclamation. We believe we are in compliance will all state and <br />federal laws and regulations governing water and water rights as <br />we understand them. <br />19 <br />
