WATER INFORMATION EXHIBIT G <br />This operation is not expected to directly affect the surface or ground water <br />systems at this site. The Parshall Pit is located approximately 0.36 miles east of <br />and approximately 230 feet higher than Williams Fork Reservoir on a terrace <br />deposit of gravel. We have been operating in this Parshall Pit since 1998 and have <br />not encountered any groundwater in this area. <br />We have changed our water right for the Dawson Gulch Spring from <br />livestock use to commercial use. We have an absolute water right and an <br />' augmentation plan has been acquired. We will use this spring water for washing <br />material and dust control if needed in the Parshall Pit. In perfecting this water <br />right we have also implemented an Augmentation Plan with the Colorado River <br />District. We have acquired 5 acre feet of water in the Wolford Mountain <br />Reservoir for replacement water in case of a call on the Colorado River. We <br />believe we will be in compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations <br />governing water and water rights. <br />Review of well data on the surrounding areas indicates the water table is <br />more than 250 feet below the existing ground surface in this area. We do not <br />' expect to encounter ground water on this site because its floor elevation will be <br />60 to 80 feet lower than the existing ground elevations. <br />There are no other water structures on this site. There are no wetlands on <br />' this site. The pit will be graded so that all surface water runoff is retained on the <br />site and all offsite runoff is diverted around the property. We have a storm water <br />management plan designed by Kevin with 1VA Engineering. <br />Mining will not reach the ground water table since mining will be into the <br />hillside and above the closest water body level. No ground water will be exposed <br />so no surface or subsurface water will be impacted by this mining operation. <br />We estimate dust control for various parts of the operation (roads, <br />' crushing, washing, etc.) will use 5 acre feet of water per year. Water used for <br />processing operations will be pumped up to our site from -the Dawson Gulch <br />Spring water right we have changed to commercial use. No water will be used for <br />reclamation, nor will the revegetated areas be irrigated. <br />? <br /> 10 <br /> <br />
