<br />EXHIBIT G -WATER INFORMATION <br />Overview <br />Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />This section describes the existing water features in and nearby the proposed <br />mining permit area, potential impacts on water resources due to mining, and <br />water requirements for the project. Local surface water features in the vicinity of <br />the project are shown on Exhibit B, Index Map and on Exhibit C, Pre-Mine and <br />Mine Plan Map. Wells potentially within 600 feet of the proposed permit area are <br />shown and described in the accompanying "Temporary Substitute Supply Plan" <br />submitted as part of this Exhibit and also submitted to the Colorado State <br />Engineer for approval. The entire permit area is located within the 100-year <br />floodplain of the South Platte River and is shown on a floodplain map located at <br />the end of this Exhibit. The map is titled "Flood Hazard Development Permit <br />Map", as it is being submitted as part of a Weld County permit and is being used <br />here for illustrative purposes only. <br />Mining of the proposed excavation area of the permit will be by the "dry-mining <br />Method, pumping alluvial groundwater from within the areas to be mined after a <br />slurry wall has been emplaced around the perimeter of the permit area and <br />keyed into the shale bedrock underlying the sand and gravel of the deposit. This <br />method will preclude offsite impacts to alluvial water supplies due to drawdown of <br />the water table in the mining area by de-watering and will serve to create an <br />isolated water-storage reservoir as part of the final reclamation of the site. <br />Mining will expose approximately 3.25 surface acres the first year and 5.7 <br />Ft.
