EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />There are no water structures on or adjacent to the site. <br />There are no streams or creeks within 15 miles of the mine. <br />Mining will not reach the ground water table. The closest well <br />is located approximately 800 feet east of the mined area. Records <br />reviewed in the Office of the State Engineers show that this well <br />is 200 feet deep. Further investigations indicate the ground <br />water table averages 210 feet below the surface of the site, so <br />no ground water will be exposed. Surface or subsurface water <br />will not be impacted and the site will be graded so all surface <br />runoff within the mine is directed into the mined area. <br />A Substitute Supply Plan and/or Augmentation Plan will not <br />be needed for this facility since no ground water will be ex- <br />posed. We will not affect the hydrologic balance of the surface <br />or subsurface water in the area. The water used at this site will <br />be purchased from the landowner for use on the project area. <br />There are no ditches or laterals crossing the site. The <br />soils on the site tend to absorb the minor amounts of moisture <br />that fall in the area. No wetland areas will be disturbed on the <br />site and a Storm Water Management Plan will be prepared for the <br />facility if needed. The pit will be graded such that all surface <br />water runoff is retained on the site and all offsite runoff is <br />diverted around the mining area. <br />We estimate dust control for the various parts of the <br />operation, i.e., roads, crushing, etc. will use five ac-ft per <br />year. Water used for this operation is purchased and hauled to <br />the site from a commercial well owned by the City of Yuma. No <br />water will be used for reclamation, nor will the revegetated area <br />be irrigated. <br />The operator's intent is to minimize the disturbances to the <br />prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land, of the <br />surrounding area and to the quality and quantity of the surface <br />and ground water system, both during and after mining and recla- <br />mation. We believe we will be in compliance with all state and <br />federal laws and regulations governing water and water rights. <br />22
