"EXHIBIT G" <br /> A. This operation is not expected to directly affect the surface <br /> or ground water systems. This property is within the 100-year flood <br /> plain, but, pursuant to the narrative and "Exhibit E", should the owner <br /> be able to fill the site as anticipated ('to a good extent, during <br /> mining and totally after operations have ceased), the area would be above <br /> the 100-year flood plain elevation. <br /> B. The owner, by way of the Lease as set forth in "Exhibit O", <br /> owns two (2) shares in the Burlington Ditch (Burlington-O'Brien Canal) <br /> which entitles him to 7.5 acre feet of water per year. Further, <br /> pursuant to the Lease, he is willing to assiyn so much of that water per <br /> year as is necessary, and if necessary, to compensate for an evaporative <br /> loss due to the mining operation on site when the same would be <br /> necessary because of calls on the South Platte River during the summer- <br /> so long as there is standing water on the site and only to the extent <br /> required to compensate for the evaporative loss. If the entire area <br /> were excavated and minimal reclamation effected to give them the set- <br /> backs as required from the property line to 25 feet and considering the <br /> slopes, there would result a net lake acreage of 11 acres. This is <br /> assuming the very minimum in reclamation and the maximum in terms of <br /> exposed water. <br /> During the first three years of the mining operation, it is not <br /> expected that there will be a standing pond of water on the site greater <br /> than 3 to 5 acres. If the operation proceeds as anticipated in terms of <br /> the owner's refill while the operator excavates sand and gravel, the <br /> standing pool of water at any point in time and perhaps upon cessation <br /> of mining would be no greater than 5 acres. Assuming, however, 11 acres <br /> net, the evaporative loss would be in the nature of 20 acre feet of <br /> water per year. Very obviously, the 7.5 acre feet would not fully <br /> compensate for this loss, but it is submitted that downstream users <br /> would not be concerned with the evaporative loss and place calls on the <br /> river between October and May of each year so that at most calls on the <br /> EXHIBIT "G" <br /> Water Information <br /> Page 1 <br />
