<br />~i <br />6.4.7 Exhibit G~ Water Information (revision 5/01) <br />Shook Gravel Pit #1 <br />Township 1 North, Range 52 West <br />SW 1/4 of Section 26 <br />S 1/2 of Section 27 <br />The operation is not expected to directly affect surface or ground water <br />systems in the project area but we have included the following: <br />(1) On the Exhibit C map the location of a stock well ,the well not in <br />use and the dry creek bed. <br />(2) We are on the western edge of the Ogallala Aquifer. <br />(3) Natural rainwater runoff should not be affected in the dry creek <br />area due to the existing deep gravel bed. Removal of gravel <br />for the road maintenance and construction, if anything, should <br />create somewhat of a shallow holding area in the creek bed for <br />recharge. No contamination or environmental problems should <br />occur. <br />(4) Project water requirements, flow rates and annual volumes for the <br />mining phases are not applicable. <br />(5) The State of Colorado Division of Water Resources statement is <br />attached. <br />19. Mining in and around Brunker Creek impact and quality was addressed <br />in #3 above. <br />The aquifer water, that is being pumped for the stock wells, should <br />not be affected because of impem~eabfe shale, rock and limestone <br />Zones, as depicted by well drill cuttings information on the well <br />permits. <br />20. Both wells exist on the site and are shown on the map. We have added <br />the well permit numbers to the map, by the wells. The older well, located on <br />the S W -SE of section 27, is no longer in use. Copies of the well permits are <br />included, and will indicate the depth of the wells, completion information etc. <br />The wells will be protected by no mining coming within 200 feet of the wells. <br />
