<br />EXHIBIT G <br />water information <br />SURFACE WATER -The permit area is not prone to flooding from adjoining properties. <br />The largest drainage course in the vicinity is, Woody Creek, located adjacent to the <br />northerly permit boundary. Gravel extraction activities are separated from Woody Creek <br />by an undisturbed ridge approximately 80 above the flow-line of the creek. The Roaring <br />Fork River flows northerly approximately 1000 feet west of the permit boundary. Mining <br />is conducted in a manner that will not substantially increase the amount of surface storm <br />water runoff above historic flows. Any storm water runoff entering the site will be captured <br />within the pit area and allowed to evaporate or percolate into the ground. The existing pit <br />is covered by a NPDES permit for discharges associated with stormwater. The SWMP <br />associated with the permit will be amended prior to commencing the expanded mining <br />operation. <br />CONSUMPTIVE USES -Water is used on site when necessary to control dust in the <br />mining area, during crushing operations, and on haul roads. Additionally, water is needed <br />for concrete production. Estimated rates follow: <br />USE GALLON PER <br />DAY DAYS PER <br />YEAR ACRE FEET <br />PER YEAR <br />Dust Control 25,000 120 9.3 <br />Concrete Plant 25,000 120 9.3 <br />TOTAL 50,000 18.6 <br />The water supply for these uses is from an existing well located within.the permit boundary. <br />Water is pumped from the well to an existing storage pond located between the asphalt <br />and concrete plants. In 1981 a water right was obtained from the District Water Court. A <br />copy of the decree and the Well Registration are on the following pages. <br />G-1 <br />
