EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />The information for this section is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined in Section <br />6.4.7 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board's Construction Material Rules and <br />Regulations. <br />1. The operation is expected to directly affect surface water or groundwater <br />systems: <br />2. a. Locate on the Map in Exhibit C any water features on [he affected <br />land and adjacent lands where structure may be affected by the mining <br />operation. <br />Please refer to the Maps in Exhibit C. <br />b. Identify all known aquifers on the property. <br />Based on our review of the well permit records for wells within 600 feet of the - <br />operation, the wells in the immediate vicinity are relatively shallow and assumed <br />to obtain water from the alluvial aquifer associated with the South Platte River. <br />Attached is a list of adjacent wells and well owners with 600' of the site. <br />c. Discuss how water from dewatering operations or runoff will be <br />managed to protect against pollution of either surface or groundwater, both <br />during and after the operation. <br />Water from dewatering operations will be pumped into a small settling pond prior <br />to being discharged irito the ditch on the north side of the property. If any <br />agreements are required, Hall-Irwin will not discharge into the ditch until such <br />agreements are executed. Runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and <br />operating surfaces will be diverted onto the mine and discharged via the <br />dewatering system. Undisturbed areas will be maintained as pasture or another <br />suitable cover crop to control weeds and prevent erosion. All areas disturbed by <br />the mining operation will be revegetated per the reclamation plan. <br />3. Estimate project water requirements including flow rates and annual <br />volumes for the development, mining and reclamation phases of the project. <br />The Applicant has submitted a Temporary Substitute Water Supply Plan (TSSP) to the <br />State Engineer's Office. The attached TSSP addresses the project water requirements, <br />estimated volumes, deletions and a detailed description of how replacements will be <br />made. Approval by the State Engineer's Office assures that existing water rights and <br />associated technical details are addressed. <br />Hall-Irwin Corporation Page 22 of 35 <br />MLRB 112 Permit Application <br />
