Case 1:08-cv-01624-WJM-NRN Document 166 Filed 03/18/19 USDC Colorado Page 11 of 12 <br /> DOE with estimating and then transmitting to FWS. Id. at 1274. The Court never <br /> faulted DOE's estimates for water usage associated with ULMP lease tracts. <br /> Regardless, the supplemental BA plausibly and adequately explains why the Pinon <br /> Ridge Mill will likely never be constructed, and why substantial uranium mining is not <br /> likely to occur anyway. There is no hint that the mining that likely will occur will require <br /> anywhere near the fairly large amount of water predicted for the Pinon Ridge Mill. <br /> Second, FWS in fact conveyed the Pinon Ridge Mill estimate to FWS. It did so, <br /> of course with a significant caveat, i.e., that it no longer viewed the estimate as relevant <br /> and it was not seeking FWS's opinion in light of the estimate. (ECF No. 160-1 at 5-6.) <br /> Nonetheless, FWS came to its own conclusion, in agreement with DOE, that the Pinon <br /> Ridge estimate was not a matter it needed to consider. (ECF No. 160-2 at 3.) DOE <br /> therefore did not fail to convey the relevant information to FWS—and conveying that <br /> information is what the Court ordered in CEC 11. <br /> Third, the only potential location that ULMP-generated uranium ore could be <br /> milled is the White Mesa Mill near Blanding, Utah, roughly 100 miles from Paradox <br /> Valley. DOE conveyed White Mesa's estimated water requirements to FWS. (ECF No. <br /> 160-1 at 7.) Plaintiffs fault DOE for relying on a 1979 figure for that estimate, stating <br /> that "[c]urrent data is [sic] presumably available." (ECF No. 162 at 8.) But Plaintiffs <br /> then go on to note that the previously-filed administrative record shows the White Mesa <br /> Mill processes "only alternate feed" (nuclear waste generated through non-natural <br /> processes, from which uranium may be extracted), not uranium ore. (Id. (internal <br /> quotation marks omitted).) This strongly suggests that useful data for White Mesa Mill <br /> are not available, given that the mill does not presently process what ULMP and other <br /> 11 <br />
