3. Water Rights <br />The surface and ground water rights adjacent to the New Horizon mining area are listed in <br />Attachment Peabody Attachment 16-1. The water rights inventory boundary includes all water <br />rights within a two mile radius of the New Horizon Mine. Attachment 2.05.6(3)(b)(v)-1 (formerly <br />Peabody Attachment 16-1) describes the ground and surface water rights in detail. <br />4. Alternative Water Supplies <br />Attachment 2.05.6(3)(b)(v)-1 (formerly Peabody Attachment 16-1) lists the water rights and sources <br />WFC has available to utilize as alternate water supplies to mitigate pit inflow drawdown and <br />sediment pond storage, and industrial water use impacts to surface water right holders. The <br />principal alternative water supplies are the 114.5 acre foot consumptive use credit of Colorado <br />Cooperative Company (CCC) water, 18 acre feet of pit inflow water during the non -irrigation season <br />and the absolute storage right in 001 pond (at the New Horizon 1 reclaimed mine area) of 4 acre <br />feet. No mitigation of any ground water impacts are anticipated. All of the above water sources are <br />considered as alternative water supplies that can be used as part of WFC's augmentation plan for <br />mitigating potential surface water rights impacts. It is estimated that WFC, following augmentation <br />usage, will still have available approximately 54 acre-feet of excess consumptive use credit of <br />(CCC) water. The alternative water sources will be selected based on the pre -impact quantity and <br />quality of the source to be mitigated. <br />Revised March 2015 (TR -68) 2.05.6(3)(b)(v)-6 <br />
