These water rights have been decreed for <br />mining operations in Water Court Case W4529 in Division 2 Water Court. Providing an <br />adequate Substitute Water Supply Plan or Plan of Augmentation is developed by Lorencito <br />Coal Co., it appears that any water resource or water rights impacts could be alleviated. <br />Therefore, at this time the Division of Water Resources has no objection to this <br />application. <br />Sincerely, <br />-~ ~~~~~ <br />Chuck Roberts <br />Professional Engineer III <br />CGR:jmg <br />cc: Steve Witte, Division Engineer <br />7901 L.cgr <br />
