.. , . . <br /> <br /> <br />• EXHIBIT G -WATER INFORMATION <br />The Pine Ridge Pit will not encounter ground water in the excavation area. During intermittent <br />water use for aggregate washing operations water for the site is purchased from the City of <br />Colorado Springs from Halfmoon Creek. The replacement water will be supplied from Turquoise <br />Reservoir. The water will be disposed of by discharge into a settling pond and subsequent land <br />application. <br />Washing operations typiglly do not occur every year therefor water is not used at the site unless <br />washing operations are working. Because of the intermittent use ACA Products submits a <br />substitute supply plan and purchases water as needed. Previous mining and washing operations <br />have not been done at this site since 1992. A copy of the approved substitute supply plan is <br />shown for information only. ACA will proceed with a substitute plan and subsequent water <br />purchases as needed and forvrard the plan and purchase agreement to the Department of <br />Minerals and Geology when the site requires water. <br />All surface drainage is interior to ACA Products Pit and there is no storm water out fall. Rain and <br />snow melt percolate quickly through the gravel deposit. <br />The Templeton Irrigation Ditch, which runs through the property from the Northwest proceeding to <br />the East central, will be utilized to transport water from the head gate to the site. The ditch will be <br />maintained during and after mining operations. ACA will line the ditch to protect against erosion <br />or seepage so no reclaimed slopes are left unstable. A 15-foot setback will be maintained on <br />either side of the ditch to allow access. The slopes from the setback to the pit Floor will be <br />maintained at 4:1 (H:~. An agreement to protect this "structure" has been attached in section S. <br />• <br />• <br />
