' EXHIBIT G —WATER INFORMATION <br /> ' This section describes the existing water features in and nearby the proposed <br /> ' mining operation, potential impacts on water resources due to mining, and water <br /> 1 requirements for the project. Local surface water resources in the vicinity of the <br /> project are shown on Exhibit B, Index Map and on Exhibit C, Pre-Mine and Mine <br /> Plan Map. Wells potentially within 600 feet of the proposed mining property are <br /> described in the accompanying "Substitute Supply Plan" submitted as part of this <br /> Exhibit. Most of the proposed mining area of the North Mining Area is located <br /> within the 100-year floodplain of the Arkansas River. None of the area proposed <br /> 1 for the South Borrow Pit Area exists within the 100-year floodplain. <br /> Mining of the North Mining Area of the proposed permit will be accomplished with <br /> ' a dragline and will expose less than two surface-acres per year of groundwater. <br /> No dewatering of the mining pit will occur„with an overall effect of no drawdown <br /> ' on the water table. Mining of the North River Pit will not directly affect either the <br /> ' surface or groundwater systems of the area. Mining of the South Borrow Pit <br /> Area will occur above the water table. <br /> ' Surface Water <br /> The nearest major watercourse is the Arkansas River, which bisects the permit <br /> ' area from west to east. The mine plan calls for excavation by dragline to occur <br /> 200 feet north from the river, leaving a riparian vegetative buffer strip 200-feet <br /> wide. <br /> ' 27 <br />
