<br /> <br />EUIIBIT G <br />iVater Information <br />N <br />The proposed gravel operation will consist of excavating <br />tl~e total gravel thickness and crushing and screening this <br />material to yield marketable sand and gravel products. During <br />the excavation process, the pit will require de~vatering. They <br />dewatering process will involve pumping the pit and discharging <br />the water into the Gunnison River. <br />A NPDES permit has been obtained through the Colorado <br />Department of Health to discharge into the river. Tests <br />conducted during the previous year indicate that the discliar~e is <br />within the allowable limits set by the permit. <br />Due to the proximity of the pit to the Gunnison River anc <br />the high water table in the area, it is felt that the dewatering <br />. operation will have little, if any, effect on the ground water to <br />adjacent properties. The sandy gravel strata along the river <br />maintains a constant water table in the area, except in the <br />immediate area of the pumping operation. Pumping operations <br />conducted during previous dewatering operations at this pit <br />have not indicated any adverse effect on ground water in the <br />area. <br />IVater requirements during the mining and crushing operations <br />will amount to approximately 2,000 gallons per day. This will be <br />used for maintenance of the haul road and dust control on the <br />crusher. <br />Water will be obtained from the landowner, who has 14 shares <br />of water which he will make available for dust control. <br /> <br />
