<br />Exhibit G -Water Information (continued) <br />minor flows. In the case of any seepage from the channel into the pit, B&B will line the seepage <br />area with clay until the seepage is prevented. <br />Prevention ojflows from unnamed drainage from entering the pit <br />Although this channel does contain seasonal flows due to irrigation water seepage, it is not <br />expected that seepage will occur. The following reasons are cited: <br />a) soil borings conducted in the channel and on both banks showed that the channel itself has a soil <br />with considerable clay which prevents the water from seeping into the surrounding area. In fact, soil <br />borings in some locations only 28 inches on either side of the channel showed dry conditions. <br />• b) the pit excavation will commence at a point no less than 35 feet from the channel bottom. In <br />some cases, the distance will be greater to protect the cottonwood trees and their roots. <br />c) as in the case of Spring Creek, the vast majority of the original watershed to the unnamed <br />drainage has been cut off due to development upstream. <br />In the case of any channel seepage encountered at any time during the operation, clay or other <br />impermeable material will be placed along the seepage area and compacted until the seepage is <br />stopped. <br />Preservation of underground spring lows into unnamed channel. <br />[t is possible that the source of the springs in the unnamed drainage may be intercepted during <br />mining on the south side of the property. If this occurs, B&B will try to capture the water in a ditch <br />or pipe and convey the water to the head of the channel as shown on Map Exhibit C-2. In all cases, <br />• B&B will ensure that any spring water encountered in the southern pit area will be conveyed to the <br />Carol Ann Pemut CDMG Application 4 3 <br />
