Exhibit G - Water Information • <br /> chicken and the egg problem of creating yet another settling basin for a settling <br /> basin. <br /> Regardless,once the settling basins are established,the wash pond {I) can be <br /> created. Once established,the settling basins will only be needed when cleaning <br /> out the wash pond solids for use as fill, product, or use as a soil/soil amendment. <br /> Otherwise, it is the intent to recycle wash pond water as a closed system. <br /> Except for minor and temporary anomalies, slopes resulting from extraction <br /> activities will be established by concurrent grading to 3h:1 v,although initial <br /> extraction may result in temporary slopes up to 1h:ly until backfilled with shale, <br /> overburden and soil. The majority of resulting slopes will drain internally into the <br /> future pond basin and are not anticipated to result in any off-site impacts due to <br /> erosion or stormwater runoff. The gentle to flat topography of the native site tends <br /> to aid in overall stability above the planned areas of extraction. While some erosion <br /> of mined slopes will be evident subsequent to extraction, over the shoulder soil <br /> placement and revegetation (delineated under Exhibit E-Reclamation Plan)will <br /> provide cover for both near and long term stability of affected lands remaining <br /> above water level of the finished ponds. <br /> 3) The Operator/Applicant shall provide an estimate of the project water requirements <br /> including flow rates and annual volumes for the development, mining and reclamation phases of <br /> the project. <br /> Water use of the plant site will utilize approximately 4,000.Ot gal./min./day for dust suppression <br /> of processing activities. The wash pond will provide 500,000.0±gal. continuously, with a net <br /> loss of approximately 4% to 2,000.0±tons average of processed material per day of operation. <br /> 4) The Operator/Applicant shall indicate the projected amount from each of the sources of <br /> water to supply the project water requirements for the mining operation and reclamation. <br /> An abundant right to water is available,comprised of three shares of the Last Chance Ditch. <br /> Information will be provided to the Colorado Division of Water Resources -Office of the State <br /> Engineer in the substitute water supply plan. <br /> 5) The Operator/Applicant shall affirmatively state that the Operator/Applicant has acquired(or <br /> has applied for)a national Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permit from the Water <br /> Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health, if necessary. <br /> A copy of the Process Water and Storm Water Discharge Permit Application and Management <br /> Plan,as required or otherwise submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br /> Environment- Water Quality Control Division, follows. <br /> EXHIBIT G - Water Information 2 <br /> Colorado Division of Mineral s & Geology Regular Impact [112) Construction Material Permit <br /> Sand Land, Inc. - Kurtz Resource Recovery & Development Project -January 1999 <br />
