C~ <br />EXHIBIT G -WATER INFORMATION <br />Overview <br />Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />This section describes the existing water features in and nearby the proposed <br />mining permit area, potential impacts on water resources due to mining, and <br />water requirements for the project. Local surtace water features in the vicinity of <br />the project are shown on Exhibit B, Index Map and on Exhibit C-1, Pre-Mining <br />Map. A Gravel Well Permit and Temporary Substitute Supply Plan will be <br />submitted to the Colorado State Engineer for approval. <br />surtace Water <br />The nearest major watercourse is the Big Thompson River, which flows along the <br />eastern edge of the permit boundary. Final discharge of excess water recovered <br />and clarified from de-watering of excavation areas on the permit site may be <br />made to the Big Thompson River via a pipeline from the recharge pond to the <br />river. Prior to any discharge activity to the Big Thompson River, the operator will <br />obtain a CDPS Permit. <br />Groundwater <br />Wells located within 600-feet of the permit boundary for the site are shown in <br />Exhibit C-1. The wells listed as being within 600-feet of permit boundary are all <br />alluvial wells. It is not believed that any of these wells are a primary source of <br />domestic drinking water, as the Little Thompson Water District supplies treated <br />water to the area. <br />Mining of the proposed excavation area of the permit will be by the "dry-mining" <br />method. De-watering operations will begin prior to material excavation in Phase <br />1, and collected in an on-site pond system. Excess water will be discharged into <br />the Big Thompson River along the eastern property line, after being allowed to <br />settle. Mining will expose approximately 5.4 surface acres the first year and 9 <br />GreerJCroissaM Property Sand and Greve) Mine.CDMG.112 Perrnd 20023 <br />Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. 21 March 2001 <br />
