EXHIBIT G <br />• WA1 RESOURCES <br />water resources on the site are extremely limited. Surface run-off is highly <br />ephemeral. No permanent streams occur anywhere on the site. No groundwater will <br />be encountered by the extraction of the gravels. In fact, on the site, <br />groundwater only appears at one place and that is at a spring. This spring <br />(indicated on the maps) is well below the elevation of the gravel deposits. No <br />water was encountered in any of the drilling to determine the depth of the gravel, <br />so it is clear that the source of this water is not from the gravels. It probably <br />originates in a perched water table which is in the Pierre Shale or some related <br />formation. It is known that the water exhibits considerable purity and is quite <br />cold even in the heat of summer. <br />Water for the operation will come from one of two sources or a combination of <br />• the two sources. Water is available from the City of Fountain and will be used if <br /> no other sources can be found. The spring itself, which exhibits a considerable <br />Elow volume, could provide a source of water for the operation, provided the <br />adjudication is proper for this use or could be changed. This is being researched <br />at this time. <br />No water rights will be affected by this operation and there should not be <br />any possible effect on any aquifers because no aquifers will be encountered by the <br />operation. Water retention in the drainage control program will be limited to <br />short term retention of run-off. <br />• page 1 of 1 Exhibit G <br />
