/\ ` MineWater W water is very broadly decreed and can be used and re-used which will help with road construction and repairs, and for any other water needs throughout the County. 4. MineWater has increased the available flow from the London Mine developed water rights by 600 acre-feet per year which has substantially improved the quality and quantity of water in Mosquito Creek since 2017,and improved the fishing along the creek by more than double the pre-cleanup numbers. MineWater agrees to continue to provide this increased flow in the creek, during the term of our mine cleanup efforts. 5. Beginning in June 2024, MineWater agrees to allow public access(either through open gate access,or through a manned/automated QR code scanned access to provide warning to the operators of visitors passing through), limited to County Road 696, along the London Mine Access Road (from the black gate to American Flats)-on-weekends starting at Noon-Friday to sunset Sunday.To include Labor Day. Memorial Day,0 of July weekends. If additional weekend work causes a closure of the road,48-hour notice will be given to the county that the gate will be closed for such weekend work(i.e. haul trucks, dozer,excavator,etc.)which would create a safety concern. During the periods of Gate closures, MineWater will allow public parking in posted area for National Forest access only. If the gate is blocked there will be a sign posted warning that vehicles may be towed at owner's expense. 6. MineWater agrees to sell clean,sorted aggregate to the County at competitive market rates as such product becomes available through the remediation of the Mine. 7. MineWater will continue to provide an agreement for access along County Road 696 on the London Mine to the Town of Fairplay for the operation of the Burro Days Races on one weekend each year,and will extend that agreement for an additional 10 years at nominal cost to the Town.
