Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G- Water Information 4. Exhibit G is defined as Water Information. The applicant indicates that a Temporary Substitute Supply Plan will be submitted as part of the application once Applegate Group had completed the plan. The application indicates that some information required to make the permit application complete, including wells within 600 feet of the permit area and consumptive use of water at the operation, is contained in this plan. Therefore, the plan must be submitted to the DIVISION and reviewed prior to approval of the permit. Please supply the Temporary Substitute Supply Plan prior to the deadline date, allowing enough time before the deadline for review of the plan. 5. The applicant should be aware that 3.1.6 (1) of the Constmction Material Rules and Regulations requires that disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and to the surrounding area and to the quantity and quality of water in surface and groundwater systems both during and after the mining operation and during reclamation shall be minimized. The permit application does not indicate what measures will be taken to assure that the operation is not affecting the hydrologic balance in the area. In that the proposed operation includes dewatering of the pit and installation of a liner in the mined-out pit, the potential for impacts to groundwater exists. Please indicate how the hydrologic balance of groundwater in and around the permit site will be monitored. 6. (2)(b) The known aquifers are not identified. Please identify all known aquifers which occur below the site. 7.
