• <br /> EXHIBIT G-i - WATER INFORMATION NARRATIVE (CONTINUED) <br /> • Project Water Supply <br /> Water for washing at the Thornton Plant is being pumped from the <br /> alluvium. Water consumed by this process will be replaced by <br /> senior water rights within the substitute water supply plan. The <br /> • applicant owns approximately 700 acre feet of senior water rights <br /> in the South Platte River drainage. These rights will be used to <br /> augment the depletions caused by the mining operations . In <br /> addition, the applicant currently leases effluent from the City of <br /> Thornton and Centennial Water and Sanitation District for <br /> replacement to winter time depletions . <br /> • Prior to exposure of ground water a well permit and substitute <br /> supply plan will be obtained from the State Engineer. This plan <br /> will provide a detailed account of depletions and replacement <br /> sources . <br /> • NPDES Permit <br /> As mentioned prior, water discharge from areas either within or <br /> outside the slurry wall, will be pumped to either two small lakes <br /> along 88th Avenue that Cooley also owns, to the Bull Seep Ditch <br /> which traverses a portion of the property, or into the South Platte <br /> • River. Permission from the owner of the Bull Seep Ditch (Fulton <br /> Ditch Company) will be obtained if the water is discharged to the <br /> Bull Seep Ditch, as will amending the existing, approved NPDES <br /> Permit currently in use for the South Dahlia Pit for this <br /> operation, which would use the same discharge point . <br /> Table G-l . Tabulation of Wells in Area <br /> • <br /> On the next two pages is a table of all wells within one mile of <br /> the site. The wells are listed by their original permit number and <br /> their original owners name, according to the State Engineer' s <br /> records . Therefore, for many of these wells, assuming they still <br /> • exist, the present ownership may be different . In addition, the <br /> original location of many of these wells is unclear, because of the <br /> vagueness of the descriptions in the records . On the accompanying <br /> EXHIBIT G-3 , WELL LOCATION MAP, Hatton plotted as much as possible <br /> the exact original location of wells where a fairly accurate <br /> description exist . Hatton estimated the approximate well location <br /> of those where the description was unclear. All wells are <br /> • identified by their original well permit number. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
