J <br />• <br />EXHIBIT G <br />WATER INFORMATION <br />Phase 1 is on a dry bench. Phase 2 is on a bench that has been irrigated at some point, but <br />is primarily dry rangeland. <br />Groundwater <br />The relatively impermeable layers of the Green River Shale immediately below the <br />gravel deposit prevent any recharge from the gravel operations into deep aquifers that <br />might be located below the shale. <br />Surface water <br />According to searches on the Division of Water Resources database, there are no wells <br />which are within 600 feet of the WRC pit area. There is an existing domestic water well <br />on the office, scales, and parking area. There are no flowing streams or stockponds. <br />Water Consumption for the Operation and Water Rights <br />A small amount of water will be required to be used in the operation to control dust and <br />gravel washing. Water will be consumed in the enclosed crusher, screen plant and wash <br />plant through water sprays to keep dust down as needed. The wash plant will have some <br />settling ponds which will have some evaporation which is also considered a consumptive <br />use. Water will also be used to control dust on the access roads. If necessary dewatering <br />shallow points are shown on MAP C(1) SHEETS 1, 4 & 5. <br />Depletions from evaporation for gravel washing operations is approximately 500 gallons <br />per day based upon previous experience. It is expected that the gravel washing operations <br />will be in operation a maximum of 52 weeks per year and 5 days per week with 1 acre - <br />foot equaling 325,851 gallons. This would result in a consumption of 0.4 acre -feet per <br />year. <br />The Daily consumption of water is estimated at 12,000 gallons of water or approximately <br />i 2 water truck loads of water for dust control of the access road and pit. This would result <br />in a consumption of 9.6 acre -feet per year. <br />A total of approximately 10.0 acre -feet per year of water will be obtained utilizing the <br />land owners (Western Gravel, LLC) water rights. <br />17 <br />
