<br /> <br />• <br />EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORbfATION <br />1.0 Water <br />All applicable water laws will be upheld. NPDES <br />monitoring for the site will be conducted as stated in the <br />NPDES permit (No. CO-G500062). It is anticipated NPDES <br />standards can be met without a settling pond. However, if this <br />is not the case, then a settling pond will be constructed. The <br />gravel pit will be constructed in alluvial material from the <br />Yampa River. As a consequence, tributary ground water from the <br />river will be continually moving in and out of the pit. This <br />intermediate containment of water will have a negligible effect <br />on the quantity of water in the Yampa River. In fact, waters <br />contained temporarily in the pit are considered to be a <br />nuisance and hinderance to the mining and reclamation process. <br />However, some use of water will occur due to fugitive <br />dust control activities required by the Colorado Department of <br />Health fugitive dust emission permits. Trapper Mining Inc. <br />holds sufficient water rights to cover these activities if it <br />should be necessary to use them. A well permit is only <br />required by the Office of the State Engineer for open pits <br />which make use of non-tributary ground waters to be put to <br />beneficial use. No other beneficial use of waters is' <br />anticipated during the mining and reclamation process. <br />Total consumptive use will be for fugitive dust control <br />for haul roads, yard area, and product handling. Table G-1 <br />documents the approximate number of acre-feet of water needed <br />annually for the above losses. According to available data a <br />total of .66 acre-feet of water will be consumed annually. <br /> <br />
