Exhibit "G" <br /> Water Information <br /> No water from this project will be discharged into surface <br /> s•.e,ters, and therefore we believe that no National Pollutant <br /> Discharge Elimination System permit is necessary. Water to <br /> wash the gravel will be drawn from a series of sump wells <br /> located along the northern boundary of the property at points <br /> shown on the mining Map, Exhibit "C" . After use, the water <br /> will pass into a settling pond, and from there will filter back <br /> into the subsurface stratas. No toxic pollutants are generated <br /> in the process of washing the gravel , and no pollution of the <br /> ground water system is anticipated. <br /> The project water requirements will average 1 . 1 c.f.s . or <br /> 200, 000 gallons per 6' - 7 hour workday. The mining process is <br /> expected to be in operation approximately 140 - 160 days a <br /> year, as weather permits, and therefore the total annual water <br /> requirement will be approximately 28 - 32 million gallons <br /> i <br /> (approximately 85 - 98 acre feet) . <br /> The operator has an easement from the adjacent landowner, <br /> i <br /> Brush Creek & Eagle River Company, for the sump wells to be <br /> dug. An appropriate application is being filed to adjudicate <br /> water rights for these wells. See copy attached hereto. No <br /> injury to senior water rights is anticipated. <br />
