<br />Water Resources, Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) and development <br />of a Storm Water Management Plan. <br />Ground Water <br />Ground water impacts may occur to the shallow wells in the vicinity of the <br />property. The approximate locations of wells in the vicinity of the site are shown <br />on Exhibit G. The wells shown on Exhibit G are listed in Appendix B. Domestic <br />water for the residences in the vicinity of the proposed mine is provided by the <br />West Fort Collins Water District. The wells within 600 feet of the proposed mine <br />pit are currently used for irrigation. Dewatering will lower the ground water level <br />adjacent to the mine but over time it will stabilize as the ponds are lined and filled <br />with irrigation water. <br />Initially, a slurry wall will be constructed around the northern perimeter of the <br />mine and this will mitigate ground water impacts. Also, the areas north of the <br />property are reported to have drainage and high ground water problems. The <br />proposed project may be able to help with this problem. <br />Consumptive Use of Water <br />The estimated mine water requirements are summarized in Table G. The <br />proposed operation is anticipated to process approximately 500,000 tons of sand <br />and gravel per year. The moisture loss for the mined materials is estimated to be <br />approximately 7.38 acre-feet per year. <br />29 <br />
