• <br />it <br />I <br />EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORMATION ~ <br />~-9 <br />Exploration drilling has indicated that groundwater <br />may occur in the basal sandstone beds of the Brushy Basin <br />Member of the Morrison Formation, at an average thickness <br />of twenty feet, as well as the lower thirty to forty feet <br />of the Third Rim Sandstone of the Salt Wash. <br />If water is encountered prior to the bottoming_of the <br /> <br />decline, it will be diverted to a sump where it can be <br />reused in the drilling. If there is an excess_it_v_~ill be <br />pumped to a surface pond where it will be evaporated. There <br />is a definite indication that this will be necessary. (For <br />approximate location, see Exhibit C.) <br />A. The operation is not expected to directly affect <br />surface or groundwater systems. <br />C. Projected water requirements: <br />Development 10,000 gal/month 120,000 gal/year <br />Mining 10,000 gal/month 120,000 gal/year <br />Reclamation None required <br />D. The water used at this time is purchased and <br />hauled from the City of Naturita by a commercial <br />hauler. The City of Naturita has water rights <br />on the San Miguel River. The reliability of this <br />source depends upon whether or not the river flows. <br /> <br />
