EXHIBIT G-- WATER INFORMATION (1) This operation is not expected to directly affect groundwater systems in the area ~>f the mining site. A surface water drainage course directly west of the mining area will bey diverted to the north of the mining area into sediment pond area. Please refer to the Stormwater Management Plan, pages 7, 8, and 9 of this application. (2) Reference Stonnwater Management Plan Map 1:200 scale and Storm watershed lvlap and Property boundary map 1:330 scale maps for the following information: (a) tributary water course which is to be diverted north is shown on both maps as that drainage entering Sediment Pond #l. There are no other wells, springs, stock water ponds, reservoirs, or ditches on the affected and or on adjacent lands where such structures may be affected by the proposed mining permit amendment. (b) There are no known aquifers in the site or neighboring the site which will be affected. (c) The operator does not anticipate deterring or process water operations from the affected land. Stormwater flows will be handled according to the SWMP plan presented on pages 7.8,9. (3) The mine operator purchases water from Canon City for purposes of dust control ,tt the site. Approximately 60,000 gallons per day is used for watering haul roads, stockpiles and wetting transfer points within the crushing and screening circuits. The reclamation plan calls for seedings of all plant species in a dry land mode with no watering of reclamation areas.. (4) The mine operator anticipates that a small amount of water for dust control will b.; available from Sediment Pond # 1 for short durations of time directly after a storm event, since ,pediment Pond # 1 will be lined for holding and releasing water into the site's main storm ditch. However, it is assumed that 95% or more of water used at the site will be purchased from Canon City. (5) The mine operator is under the assumption that it is not necessary to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health. 18
