Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />EXHIBIT G -WATER INFORMATION <br />Overview <br />This section describes the existing water features in and around the proposed mining <br />permit area, potential impacts on water resources due to mining and water requirements <br />for the project. Local surface water features in the vicinity of the project are shown on <br />Exhibit B -Index Map and Exhibit C-1: Pre-Mining Map (Man Made Features). <br />Surtace Water <br />The nearest major watercourse is the Uncompahgre River, which flows approximately <br />two-thirds of a mile northeast of the site. Other watercourses near the site include <br />Spring Creek (approximately 1 mile southwest) and Mexican Gulch (approximately half <br />of a mile east). The CJ Lateral flows approximately three-tenths of a mile southwest of <br />the permit area. Water used in aggregate washing will be diverted from the CJN Lateral, <br />which runs through the southwest corner of the site. <br />Groundwater <br />Groundwater will not be encountered at any depth during mining. A well permit records <br />search at the Office of the State Engineer yielded no wells within 600 ft of the permit <br />boundary. See Exhibit C-1 for further details. <br />Mining of the proposed excavation area will be by the dry-mining method. No <br />dewatering operations will occur, since groundwater will not be encountered at any <br />depth during mining. <br />Haldorson Sand and Gravel Mine 03023 <br />Haldorson and Sons, Inc.
