In addition, an estimated 1.93 acre-feet of water per year will be used for dust control based <br />(approximately) on 3,500 gallons per day for 20 days per month for 9 months. <br />Annually the total evaporative and operational losses from mining activities (open water <br />surface evaporation, water retained in the aggregate product, dust suppression) totals 17.98 <br />acre-feet of depletion which must be augmented. All depletions were lagged to the Poudre <br />River using the lagging factors approved by the State Engineer pursuant to on-going <br />Substitute Water Supply (SWSP) approvals. <br />(e) Indicate the projected amounts of the water sources to supply project water <br />requirements <br />Replacement Water: The source of replacement water for depletions will be long term <br />lease between Bestway Concrete & Aggregates and Central Colorado Water Conservancy <br />District.
