Water Augmentation Plan <br />MCC's Water Augmentation Plan was adjudicated in February, 1987, by the Colorado District <br />Court, Water Division 4. A copy of the adjudicated Water Augmentation Plan is included in <br />Exhibit 52. The water augmentation plan covers mitigation of potential impacts from mining in the <br />Minnesota Creek basin. The water augmentation plan is based on worst case conditions where <br />mining in the basin depletes the Dry Fork of Minnesota Creek and requires augmentation by <br />MCC's water rights up to 10.96 cubic feet per second (4919 gallons per minute) maximum <br />headgate diversion. <br />The plan was not in effect during development mining in the basin. However, there is a provision to <br />implement the plan should circumstances warrant, such as large inflows into the mine workings in <br />the Minnesota Creek Basin. <br />2.05-73 Rev. 11/96- PR07; 04/06 -PRIG; 12/14- TR136; 08116-TR139 <br />
