IGWT Mining, INC. <br />Exhibit G <br />Water information <br />On-site meetings have been held with Garver Brown (District 23Water Commissioner), <br />John Segaers (NRCS Soil Conservation Technician, and Mike Taylor (NRCS Area <br />Engineer). Garver informed us that water evaporation from the ponds would need to be <br />replaced, so we have an application in with HASP for an augmentation plan to replenish <br />the water yearly. Approximately 4-5 acre feet will be replaced. A copy of the plan will be <br />sent to you as soon as it is completed. We will also apply for a well permit as soon as we <br />have the augmentation plan finalized, and will also send a copy of that permit. The <br />engineer that wrote the storm Management plan was also there and suggestions from <br />Mike and John were included in the plan. They all agreed the site had very few water <br />concerns, very little water comes onto the property from adjoining landowners and very <br />little water runs off the site. The Stormwater Management Plan will mainly address <br />keeping sediment and runoff contained in the case of a 100 year storm. They did not <br />feel like the placer operation would affect the quality or quantity of any ground water <br />that is encountered. <br />The mining operation will use a closed water system and recycle water from the spring- <br />fed ponds on site. There is an aqueduct that runs on the north end of the property <br />which will not be disturbed. Please see Map C-1a for all known aquifers in the area. The <br />Columbia Ditch is no longer used but will be part of the Storm Management Plan. Please <br />see Map G-1 for all the water information, some of which is contained in the Storm <br />Management Plan. The Middle Fork of the South Platte River is located more than 1200 <br />feet and across Highway 9 from the disturbed areas of the mining operation. <br />The mining operation will use approximately 1200 gallons of water per minute in the <br />plant which will then be recycled back into the settlement pond. Our annual water <br />usage is estimated at 4.6 acre/ft. or 1,498,915 gallons. This estimate has been derived <br />from discussions with HASP (Headwater Authority of the South Platte) as to the type of <br />operation planned, the size of ponds, and the evaporation estimates based on that <br />information. Reclamation will be in progress throughout the operation. <br />You will find a copy of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) <br />Plan for the Hector Placer (Stormwater Management Plan) which has been sent to the <br />Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health in Exibit U. <br />0_6
