EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />This operation is not expected to directly affect the <br />surface or ground water systems at this site. The CR #3 Pit is <br />located 0.36 miles east of and approximately 230 feet higher than <br />Williams Fork Reservoir on a terrace deposit of gravel. Observa- <br />tions at the Mountain Park Concrete, Parshall Pit (M-1998-034), <br />show they have not encountered groundwater in this area. As this <br />site adjoins that mine we do not expect to encountered any ground <br />water and for this reason a Substitute Water Supply Plan and/or <br />Augmentation Plan will not be needed for this facility. <br />The operators 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 will all state and <br />federal laws and regulations governing water and water rights. <br />Review of well data on the surrounding areas indicate the <br />water table is more than 250 feet below the existing ground <br />surface in this area. We do not expect to encounter ground water <br />on this site because its floor elevation will be 60 to 80 feet <br />lower than the existing ground elevations. We will not affect <br />the hydrologic balance of surface or subsurface water in the <br />area. <br />There are no ditches or laterals crossing, nor are there <br />other water structures on the site. The soils on the site tend <br />to absorb the stormwater that falls in the area. There are no <br />wetland areas on the site. If required, a Storm Water Management <br />Plan will be prepared for the facility. The pit will be graded <br />such that all surface water runoff is retained on the site and <br />all offsite runoff is diverted around the property. <br />An ephemeral drainage runs east to west across the northern <br />two-thirds of the site. No water has been observed in this <br />drainage when we have been on the site. Mining will not reach <br />the ground water table since mining will be into the hillside and <br />above the closest water body level. No ground water will be <br />exposed so no surface or subsurface water be impacted by this <br />mining operation. This is a dry mining operation. <br />We estimate dust control for the various parts of the <br />operation, i.e. roads, crushing, washing, etc. will use 2-3 ac-ft <br />per year. Water used for processing operations will be hauled to <br />the site from a source approved for industrial uses. In this <br />area we obtain water from Williams Fork Reservoir or from local <br />sources approved of this use. No water will be used for reclama- <br />tion, nor will the revegetated areas be irrigated. <br />19
