~ • <br />EXHIBIT G (Cont'd) <br />The lake included in the reclamation plan is estimated to <br />' reach its ultimate size in 2002. The lake will have 141.33 acres + <br />~ surface area on affected land of 175,&3 acres. <br />During the reclamation phase there will be only minimal <br />use of water. It is not planned to water the revegetated <br />materials. However, if water becomes available, the revegetated <br />' materials would benefit from one season of watering. <br />' During the mining stage a few phreatophytic trees will be <br />removed (see map Exhibit C-1), and none are included in the <br />' reclamation plan, although some experimentation with a few trees <br />may be carried out. Whenever possible, overburden material will <br />' be used to backfill and reduce water area. <br />The operator's intention is to minimize disturbances to the <br />prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and of the <br />surrounding area and to the quality and quantity of water in <br />surface and ground water systems, both during and after mining <br />and during reclamation. Suburban believes it is in compliance <br />with federal and state laws and regulations governing water and <br />1 water rights. There is no application of the river dredge law <br />or siltation structure removal requirement. <br />It is not expected that the ongoing operations will cause <br />measurable, material injury to senior water rights. <br /> <br /> <br />' - 22 - <br /> <br />
