EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />EAST BRADBURY PIT <br />This operation is not expected to directly affect surface or ground water. Surface drainage <br />form the mined are and the stockpile site will remain within the pit. There are no known <br />aquifers within the affected area of the proposed permit. <br />Water resources in the area of the operation include Kannah Creek which is located <br />approximately on half mile north of the site and the Smith Ditch which is located <br />approximately 500 feet north of the site. The site is located along the top of a ridge which <br />sloped from east to west at less than two percent and breaks off sharply to the north and <br />south along the edges. The water table elevation of the site is well below the level of the <br />mining operation. <br />Surface drainage of the previously mined area and the stockpile site drains to the <br />southwest corner of the existing pit where it ponds. When the mining is completed, the <br />area will be left as a bowl sloping from east to west. Surface runoff within and adjacent <br />to the pit will continue to pond in the west end of the pit where it will seep into the <br />adjacent gravel layer and or evaporate. A small berm will be constructed along the east <br />side of the pit to divert surface runoff from the Azcarraga property from entering the pit. <br />The estimated quantity of water required during the mining operation is 21,000 gallons <br />per day. The maximum annual water requirement is 1260 M gallons. Water will be used <br />for dust control. <br />Water can be obtained from Kannah Creek during the spring runoff. Other times of the <br />year if can be purchased from the City of Grand Junction or Grand Junction Pipe has <br />water rights on the Gunnison River. Only one water source will be used at a time. <br />An Application for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Sand and Gravel Mining and <br />Processing will be filed with the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment, Water Quality Control Division a minimum of thirty days prior to <br />construction of the haul road.
