:. ~ • <br />III. Water Storage Reservoir <br />Sunflower Energy has filed for conditional decrees for a <br />ditch, reservoir and well. Publication of said filings is attached <br />hereto. All improvements are to be located on surface owned by <br />Sunflower as evidenced by the Warranty Deeds and Quit Claim attached <br />hereto. <br />The initial size of the proposed reservoir will allow <br />for 15 acre feet of storage. The reservoir will insure that water <br />from the well, which will be fed by the Hubbard Creek aquifer, <br />during periods of senior call, will be replaced with water released <br />from the reservoir. Sunflower has the corresponding NPDES Permit. <br />No constuction will take place until the decrees are in hand. <br />The total surface area of the proposed reservoir will be <br />4.25 acres as documented by the attached letter from Morcan Engi- <br />neering of Delta. An additional 30' foot corrider approximately <br />935' long will tie the reservoir, the auxillary pipeline from the <br />toe end of the reservoir to the mine and the well to the portal <br />development area. (See Exhibit A). <br />Due to demand for water storage facilities in the area, <br />the reservoir will permanently serve mining and irrigation needs <br />after the Blue Ribbon 'Mine has been depleted. Total square footage <br />for the reservoir, and corridor, will be 30,900. <br />IV. Summary <br />The following itemization of disturbed areas show that the <br />total area to be permitted is Iess than 10 acres. <br />3 <br />
