<br />~ (6) Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map <br />I <br />' Refer to sheet 3 of 3. <br />' (7) Exhibit G - Water Information <br />~~ , The operation is not expected to directly affect: surface <br /> or ground water systems. <br /> <br /> Surface Water <br /> The primary surface water element is the Cache I,a Poudre <br />' River which does traverse the site; however the system <br /> does not enter the pit area. The maximum flow i.n the <br /> River channel is upward to 2500 cfs., with minimum flows <br />i as low as 25 cfs. <br /> <br /> Irrigation and domestic water rights represent complete <br />' appropriation of the River's waters. In most cases these <br /> diversions are down stream from the mining site. There <br />' are no operating ditches located on the site. <br />' Ground Water <br />i <br />l <br />G <br />t <br />i <br />i <br />th <br />fl <br />d <br />l <br />l <br />d <br /> n <br />a <br />n grave <br />s a <br />ong <br />roun <br />er <br />s present <br />e <br />oo <br />p <br />wa <br /> the Cache La Poudre River. In general this body of gravel <br />' is identical to the ore body, which accounts for the <br /> presence of water in the open pits. This water is gen- <br />t erated by the Cache La Poudre River and is open to admin- <br /> istration under the appropriation laws of Colorado. <br />Below these gravel deposits there are extremely deep <br />' deposits of Pierre Shale, varying to as much as 4,000 to <br />5,000 feet. As a rule, ground water is not found in large <br />amounts in the Pierre Shale deposits. <br />Water used in operation of the mine site comes from <br />ground water present in the pit. This water is returned <br />to the ground water aquifer subsequent to this use. <br />0 <br />
