<br />~~ <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />Rights <br />Irrigation water rights available for reclamation through ownership by the <br />applicant, consisting of an excess of 200 annual acre feet. This 3s known <br />to be more than adequate water to accomplish the desired reclamation plan <br />as set forth herein. <br />Surface Water <br />The Cache La Poudre River is the primary source of surface water in the <br />general area of mining. We are aware of the possibility of flooding and <br />we will expect to move soil where necessary to protect equipment and <br />• minimize damage to the mining operation. The mining of gravel should not <br />reduce the normal flow of the river. Inter-connecting lakes will discharge <br />water into the river. Ground water will flow from sand and gravel in the <br />areas of gravel extraction and flow back to the river. There are no known <br />irrigation wells in the area and the mining of gravel should not effect <br />domestic wells. The flow of ground water is southeast. There are no <br />irrigation or domestic wells located within one-fourth mile of the area of <br />excavation a distance greater than the area affected by pump down. <br />Water Level <br />Water will be pumped from de-watering trenches and discharged into the Cache <br />La Poudre River under a NPDES permit. A desirable water level of lakes pre- <br />viously mined will be achieved by a series of inter-connecting underground <br />• water lines. <br /> <br />G-1 <br />
