Exhibit G -Water Information (continued) <br />unnamed drainage at a point immediately south of the uppermost cottonwood grove, thus protecting <br />the trees and the other vegetation in the channel that is currently receiving spring water. The water <br />will also be kept isolated from any interaction with pit water or pit runoff. The pit excavation may <br />also be modified to sacrifice some gravel reserves to ensure that the spring flows are fed by a <br />gravity flow ditch to the current channel. <br />Preservauon of perennra! sprinK flow nordr of the permrt area. <br />Due to pit excavation, it is possible that the water supplying the perennial spring may be encoun- <br />tered. If this occurs, B&B commits to gathering the water, isolating it from the surrounding pit area <br />and conveying it to the current spring outlet location either though a pipe placed in the north berm <br />or through a ditch or pipe to the diversion ditch, which will convey the water to a point immediately <br />• below the spring outlet. In either case, the clean water flows will be maintained to the spring in <br />order to preserve it. <br />4. Water Rights and Site Water Use <br />During the life of the operation, all water for the 100 year - 24 hour event will be contained on site, <br />thus eliminating the need to have a discharge permit and a storm water management plan from the <br />Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Health. All process water will also <br />be recycled in the sumps in the pit area. <br />Water use by the operation is estimated by comparison to the nearby Montgomery Pit of B&B. <br />Wright Water Engineers calculated the requirements for the Montgomery Pit in Eagle County based <br />on a peak production of 300,000 tons per yeaz. The Carol Ann operation is expected to produce <br />from 180,000 to ?00,000 tons per year. <br />Carol Ann Permit CDMG Application 9 4 <br />
