III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />EXHIBIT G 999 <br />• WATER INFORMATION <br />This operation is not expected to significantly affect <br />groundwater or surface water systems. No springs occur on <br />the site indicating the areas to be excavated are well above <br />the water table. It is apparent that some runoff occurs <br />from the site as evidence by the erosion channels. <br />The only time these channels carry water if after large <br />thunderstorms. Due to overgrazing, erosion in some areas <br />has achieved the large gully stage. In other areas it is <br />not so severe. However, unvegetated outwash is not evident <br />so the erosion is not that severe. <br />Most of this water appears to be coming from the <br />slightly sloping areas to the north. Most of the volume, <br />however, seems to be coming from the relatively less <br />vegetated Bouteloua-Mublenbergia community. In aerial <br />photos the cover differences between this vegetation and the <br />Bouteloua-Andropogon community is very apparent. Also, all <br />the erosion is in either the Schamber-Razor Complex or the <br />Stoneham sandy loam, both of which are more erodable than <br />the Fort Collins loam. The S.C.S. soil survey makes special <br />note of gullying problems on the Stoneham sandy loam. <br />• Water requirements for the operation should be about <br />5,000 gallons per week maximum. This is primarily used for <br />dust abatement. The water is hauled to the site and is <br />purchased from the City of Fountain. <br />No discharges will occur from the operation as it is a <br />dry pit. Therefore no NPDES permit is required. <br /> <br />- 19 - <br />
