PATER <br />EXHIBIT G <br />• WATER If~FC721NATIW <br />Although small amounts of ground water could be encountered on the site, <br />the aquifers that supply wells are from levels far below than the gravel <br />deposit. This gravel pit will mine an upland deposit that does not generally <br />curtain water. In very wet years, a slight amount of water could accumulate <br />on top of the shale layer that directly underlies the gravel. This has been <br />seen on other deposits similar to this one, but the amount of water is very <br />small and does not constitute a viable ar reliable source of ground water. <br />Surface water will be affected only to the extent that drainage patterns <br />will be slightly altered. The main drainage corridors, however, will not be <br />altered as they occur below the elevation of the gravel deposit. Topographic <br />reconfiguration as a result of the mining and reclamation are addressed in the <br />mining and the reclamation plans. No significant effect on surface runoff <br />will occur as a result of the operation. <br />Water sources far dust control will be purchased from local sources. <br />The water will be hauled to the site in a water truck. There are no sources <br />of water on the site in the farm of wells ar storage ponds. <br />Because this is a dry pit mining an upland gravel deposit that is devoid <br />of water, no I~PDES permit is needed ar required. IVo well permit for a gravel <br />pit is needed for this operation. <br />Page 23 <br />
