i5 6.4.5 EXHIBIT D—Extraction Plan 0.11±feet from the surface, we determined the Static Water Level using the upper limit of 5.0± feet_ The Cyan colored contour shown on Exhibit G:Water Information Map represents the Static Groundwater Elevation at 4675' at North-West Field, and 4673' at Central Field. Since completed reservoirs will be lined to meet State of Colorado Water Resources specifications and requirements, and since limed basins will ultimately equalize with the surrounding groundwater elevations, the Static Water Levels shown should reasonably reflect those of the both the lined or unlined state; and represent a proper reflection of the optimal surface area of the water over the finished basins_ Varra Companies, Inc. has sufficient water to meet the circumstances and obligations of both the lined and unlined states; and as reflected under Exhibit G: Water Resources Information; until and unless the reservoirs have an approved liner, the Operator will dedicate sufficient waters to secure the reclamation of the resulting basins in the unlined state. Planned Field Activities; The 40923±acre parcel boundary forms the permit boundary, as reflected on exhibit maps. All lands under its direct control within the 409.23±acre permit area, are affected lands under C_R_S_ 34-32.5- 103(1), respective of this permit application.As a result, any changes required in the nature of planned extraction or reclamation will be made only through the Colorado Office of Mined Land Reclamation(OMLR),by Technical Revision only_ If lands are needed beyond the designated permit boundary, those lands will be secured for the active OMLR permit by Amendment. AND 6.4.5 EXHIBIT D—Extraction Plan Operations will predominantly utilize unmodified existing agricultural field access roads(unless otherwise indicated), which will themselves be subsequently extracted in time where they fall within the extraction limits shown on Exhibit C-2: Extraction Plan Map. No other defined roads within the Extraction Limits will occur except for the temporary paths created by extraction equipment, or otherwise determined by subsequent Revision to the permit. All existing agricultural roads outside of the designated extraction limits will be retained according to the desires of the landowner. The same shall form part of the final end use of the reclaimed lands, unless otherwise indicated in this submittal or by subsequent permit revision-For purposes of this submittal, all lands within the indicated permit boundary vv 1.be considered affected lands but only those locations between the existing access roads, and which otherwise remain above the anticipated static water level of the resulting basins,will be soiled(where soil is absent)and seeded to establish vegetation consistent with the approved reclamation plan.
