~ ~ III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />• EXHIBIT G ! ~Y <br />The existing operation is located in the flood plain of Cache La Poudre River. <br />The land is located above the Cache La Poudre River alluvial aquifer and also <br />is in a recharge area for the aquifer and river. <br />The sand and gravel deposit in the alluvium contains the alluvial groundwater <br />system. There is considerable interaction between the groundwater system and <br />the Cache La Poudre River. The previously excavated area contained <br />approximately ten (10') feet of water during the spring and early summer <br />months. The water level is expected to be lower during the late summer and <br />fall months. <br />De-watering operations are necessary as only clarified water will be discharged <br />from the pit. We have a existing Wastewater Discharge Permit. Once mining <br />ceases and the area is reclaimed as a wildlife habitat, the ponds may be <br />classified as 'State Waters". There will be no project water requirements for <br />the development mining or reclamation phases, other than occasional dust <br />control operations. The amount of water needed for dust control is not <br />expected to exceed 1,000 gallons per week during dry conditions. By spreading <br />recently excavated sand and gravel on haul roads, the need for dust control <br />measures would be greatly reduced or even eliminated. <br />The amount of water lost through evaporation from the pond surfaces should not <br />• exceed the amount lost through evaportranspiration from agricultured crop <br />production. <br />Our existing pit area has water rights and sources. According to the recorded <br />deed for their property, the grantee owns more than four shares of the capital <br />stock of Hay Seed Ditch Company. <br />The County has a NPDES permit from the Water Quality Control Division of the <br />Colorado Department of Health (Wastewater Discharge Permit), #CO-G500026. <br />C J <br />
