<br />EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br /> <br />The proposed gravel pit operation will consist of excavating the <br />total gravel thickness and crushing and screening the material to make <br />road base and other marketable products. During the excavation process, <br />the pit will require dewatering. The dewatering process will be accom- <br />plished by pumping the pit and discharging the water into an existing pond <br />and a slew located adjacent to the pit. <br />A NPDES Permit has been obtained from the Colorado Department of Health <br />to discharge water to the Colorado River. Tests conducted on discharge <br />while mining the existing pit indicate that the water is within the allowable <br />limits set by the permit. <br />• While the pit is active and being dewatered, the water table in the <br />land immediately adjacent to the pit will be lowered slightly. The influence <br />is expected to be limited to less than 75 feet due to the nature of the soil <br />cover. When the pit is completed, it is expected that the water table will <br />be at essentially the same levels as now exist. <br />The gravel pit will not have any affect on any well which may exist <br />in the area. The area is presently serviced by the Ute Water Conservancy <br />District, therefore it is doubtful that any wells are in operation in the <br />immediate area. <br />Adjacent crop land is irrigated with water from the Grand Valley <br />Irrigation Company. The quality of this water will not be subject to any <br />influence of the gravel removal operation because the source of the water <br />is located above the proposed activity. <br />
