Section 10 .0 Water Information, Rights and Augmentation <br />Details of the water use on site are presented in Exhibit G - Water Information. The property owned <br />by Playfair Land CO. LLC and leased to Golden Cross Aggregate has two water rights: <br />1) 2.0 cfs from Sacramento Creek for placer mine purposes only, dating back to the 1860's. This right <br />can be used from mid May to mid September of any given year. <br />2) 2.13 acre feet of Cottage Grove Reservoir water, which is an augmentation right. This can be used <br />to offset consumptive uses on the property. <br />Both of these rights are proposed to be used to offset consumptive uses of the operation. <br />The mine will encounter water in the excavation and will expose groundwater, in addition to other <br />consumptive uses associated with the mining operation, such as road dust control, sluicing, gravel <br />sales, crushing and screening dust control. These consumptive uses have been calculated in detail in <br />the Substitute Water Supply Plan, which has been submitted to the Division of Water Resources and <br />is currently (as of February 2013) under review by them. This SWSP has been submitted with a gravel <br />well permit application with the State Engineer's office. <br />Water is available to the operator from the approved Point of Diversion on Sacramento Creek, as <br />shown on Map C -2 and also the water pump extraction hole also shown on the same map. A future <br />Point of Diversion may be possible on the Middle Fork of the South Platte but this has not yet been <br />approved yet, as of the end of 2014. <br />All water rights data, consumptive use calculations and offset from the existing water rights are pre- <br />sented in the SWSP, which is attached in Appendix B. <br />Gloria Z Mine TR -03 2015 24 <br />
