EXHIBIT G <br />HYGROLOGY <br />There will be no changes to the surrounding hydrologic <br />regime due to the proposed mining operation. There will be no <br />effect on the surface or ground-water systems due to this <br />operation. <br />The proposed mining will require appro:;imately X50 gallons <br />per minute to wash the gravel and gold tal::en from the mine. <br />Based on similar operations of this type, appro:;imately ten <br />percent of the wash water can be eipected to be lost due to <br />leal::age, evaporation, spray, and surface moisture in the gravel. <br />The remainder of the water used in the washing process will be <br />recyled. The ten percent loss amounts to appro:;imately ~5 <br />gallons per minute. Using a work: schedule of 1~~ hours of <br />operation per day, 5 days per week:, and 8 months per year, the <br />annual writer required for the washing process will total B. <br />acre-feet per year. <br />Reclamation for the proposed mining operation will require <br />water for irrigation in addition to the wash water. <br />Appro:;imately 24 acres each year will be reclaimed as the mining <br />operation progresses, starting with the third year. Water <br />required for irrigation is estimated t^ be appro;;imately 12 <br />inches per year during the reclamation process. No additional <br />water fur irrigation will be required after the reclamation year. <br />The water required for- the 24 acres reclaimed each year will be <br />'.~4 acre-feet. <br />In <br />
