EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />The information for this section is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined in Section <br />6.4.7 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Boazd's Construction Material Rules and <br />Regulations. <br />1. The operation is expected to directly affect surface water or groundwater <br />systems: <br />2. a. Locate on the Map in Exhibit C any water features on the affected <br />land and adjacent lands where structure may be affected by the mining <br />operation, <br />Please refer to the Maps in Exhibit C. <br />b. Identify all known aquifers on the property. <br />Based on our review of the well permit records for wells within 600 feet of the <br />operation, the wells in the immediate vicinity aze relatively shallow and assumed <br />to obtain water from the alluvial aquifer associated with the South Platte River. <br />Attached is a list of adjacent wells and well owners with 600' of the site. <br />c. Discuss how water from dewatering operations or runoff will be <br />managed to protect against pollution of either surface or groundwater, both <br />during and after the operation. <br />Water from dewatering operations will be pumped into a small settling pond prior <br />\ to being discharged into the ditch on the north side of the property. Hall-Irwin <br />1 will not dischazge into the ditch until an agreement is reached with the ditch <br />company. Runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will <br />be diverted onto the mine and dischazged via the dewatering system. Undisturbed <br />areas will be maintained as pasture or another suitable cover crop to control <br />weeds and prevent erosion. All areas disturbed by the mining operation will be <br />revegetated per the reclamation plan. <br />3. Estimate project water requirements including flow rates and annual <br />volumes for the development, mining and reclamation phases of the project. <br />Depletions during mining will include: 1) evaporation losses from the dewatering trench <br />and settling ponds, 2) water lost through operations including washing, dust control, <br />asphalt production and concrete hatching; and 3) water lost with the material hauled off- <br />site. <br />The Applicant is currently in the process of applying for a Temporary Substitute Water <br />Supply Permit (TSSP) through the State Engineer's Office. The TSSP application will <br />Hall-Irwin Corporation Page 22 of 35 <br />MLRB 112 Permi[ Application <br />
