• <br />EXHIBIT G. WATER INFORMATION <br />A. Identifications of Water Systems: <br />An old channel of the South Platte River is located adjacent to the two eastern parcels along <br />their eastern edge. The Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 runs through the western half of the west <br />parcel. There aze no wells, springs, stockwa[er ponds, or reservoirs on the affected land. <br />The parcels aze located in the South Platte groundwater recharge area. The aquifer is simply <br />know as the South Platte River alluvial aquifer. <br />B. Water Quality Management Plan: <br />The two eastern parcels have been mined and the excavated areas have filled with ground <br />water to 4-6 feet below the adjacent ground elevations. There will be no dewatering <br />operations or runoff from either of these parcels, which would have the potential of causing <br />pollution to any state waters. <br />There will be dewatering operation form then west parcel only. Any storm runoff from <br />disturbed areas will be directed toward the excavated area. After mining operations cease, <br />the entire mined area will fill with ground water and serve as a small lake or pond. All three <br />parcels could collect agricultural runoff and prevent it from entering surface waters. <br />C. Project Water Requirements: <br />There will be no project water requirements for the development, mining and reclamation <br />phases other than occasional dust control operations. The amount needed for dust control <br />is not expected to exceed 1000 gallons per week during dry conditions. <br />By spreading recently excavated sand and gravel on haul roads, the need for dust control <br />measures would be eliminated. Although there will be a measurable amount of water lost <br />
