iy <br /> grounding Wells <br /> A map and tabulation of surrounding water rights and well permits are attached with this <br /> exhibit. Water rights and well permits for shallow wells are identified which lie within <br /> approximately one half mile of the subject property. The river serves as a natural <br /> hydrologic barrier and therefore no water rights or well permits will be injured which lie <br /> on the north side of the river. <br /> Drawdown of the water table will occur due to the dewatering. It is expected the drop in <br /> the water table elevation at the neighboring wells will be minimal due to the distance <br /> between the pit and the adjacent wells. <br /> However, in the event thatt the neighboring wells drop in production, steps will be taken <br /> to insure that the well owners receive the same quantity and quality of water. This may <br /> include pumping water from the pit directly to the injured wells, construction of recharge <br /> pits next to the injured wells which can be filled with water and used for local recharge <br /> of the groundwater, or water can be delivered directly to the injured well owner if there <br /> are no other viable options. <br /> NPDES Permit <br /> The operator has an NPDES permit under the rules and regulations of the Water Quality <br /> Control Division of the Colorado Department of Health. This permit is administered by <br /> the Health Department. <br /> 404 Dredge and FIII Permit <br /> The present mining plan does not intend to place any fill in wetlands and as such will not <br /> require a 404 permit. If it is determined that wetlands will be filled then a 404 permit will <br /> be acquired. <br /> G-5 <br />
