EXHIBIT G - Water Information <br />1) The operation is not expected to affect existing surface or groundwater systems. This <br />project will not have any water requirements for its operation. The only surface water <br />would be drainage that occurs at the site because of a heavy rainfall. All stormwater <br />runoff will be maintained in the pit area Because of the and nature of eastern Colorado, <br />the site will generally not be impacted by water. The water table in the Ogallala aquifer <br />beneath this area is substantially below the surface (approximately 150' deep). <br />2) A stormwater permit will not be required. Storm water will be contained in the pit <br />area <br />EXHIBIT H - Wildlife Information <br />Notice has been sent to the local wildlife conservation officer concerning the proposed <br />112 gravel pit. Common species in northeast Colorado could include bird species of <br />Cassin's sparrow, chestnut collared longspur, lark bunting, western meadowlark, <br />ferruginous and Swainsan's hawks, and pheasants. Small mammals that might be found <br />include white-tailed and black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, pronghorn antelope, coyote, <br />swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long-tailed weasel, and several species of mice. Reptiles <br />might include the western rattlesnake, race snake, western box turtle, and six-lined <br />racerunner. Other animals and birds common to Phillips County could also be found at <br />the site from time to time. <br />Based on several visits to the site, no significant wildlife was observed. Other <br />portions of land owner's property have trees and grass plantings which are serving to <br />increase wildlife in the area As this site is also seeded with grass and trees, wildlife <br />should continue to increase with the favorable habitat.
