<br />PROJECT WATER REQUIREMENTS <br />The mining operation will require 10,000 gallons per day, <br />almost all of which will be used to water down haul roads and <br />the rest at the office and shop. Domestic water will be <br />stored in a tank beside the office. <br />Water is provided from an existing well drilled persuant to a <br />water right obtained in Colorado Water Case Number ~9CW226. <br />WATER RIGHTS <br />There are no surface water rights on Mann Draw listed in the <br />State Engineer's Office Stream Alpha listing. The first right <br />downstream of the Bourg property is at the Stillwater Ditch <br />located on the Canadian River approximately 12 miles below <br />® the mouth of Mann Draw and 34 miles below the Bourg property. <br />No adjudicated storage right was found for the stockwater <br />pond located 2,000 feet north of the Bourg property. The <br />ground water rights in Che mine vicinity are shown in Figure <br />6 and listed in Table 5b. <br />The consumptive use of the pumped ground water at the Bourg <br />Mine is estimate to be approximately 9,000 gallons per day. <br />~--~~ <br />According to the State Water Resources hydrologists in <br />Steamboat Springs, verified by Bernard Streit, the co-owner <br />of the ranch at the junction of Mann Draw and the Canadian <br />River, the only use of the water in the Canadian River in <br />Colorado is in the springtime for flood irrigation of <br />hayfields along the flood plain of the Canadian River from <br />about May 20 to July 15 or 20, or a maximum of about 60 days. <br />;ti," <br />~ -3 <br />
