EXHIBIT G WATER INFORMATION There will be little disturbance to the prevailing hydrological balance of the affected land as a result of the gravel mining scheduled to begin in the summer of 1988. No tributary water courses, springs, stock ponds, or reservoirs are located on the affected land. The old Chaffee Ditch, owned by Mobile Premix, runs along the western perimeter of the mining area. Mining may call for the removal of this ditch. If so, Mobile Premix plans to reconstruct the ditch in its historic alignment with backfill materials such that it can be used to service their property. Wells No wells are expected to be adversely affected outside the mining area. The 2-3 residences within a quarter of a mile on the north and west are serviced by city water. No wells are located on the property to be mined. Drainage Currently there exists a 7-12 acre area to the west and south of the amendment area that drains across the site. During mining these waters, along with the on-site waters, will be allowed to drain into the pit, where they will be discharged into the Mobile Premix lake to the south. Upon completion of the mining, these waters will be intercepted or diverted to the old Chaffee Ditch where they will again be routed to the lake to the south. Flood Plain According to the FEMA flood plain maps, the 100 year flood elevation is 4922 on the property. Mobile Premix will minimize disturbances to the prevailing hydrological balance of the affected land in the surrounding area, and to the quality and quantity of surface and ground water systems during both mining and reclamation phases. Mobile Premix believes it is in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations governing water and water rights . There is no application of the dredge law. The ongoing operations are not expected to cause measurable or material injury to senior water rights. -8-
