The Boazd's Rules expressly contemplate this process and acknowledge that a <br />permit applicant may need to provide additional information to the Division "for the purpose of <br />detailing, clarifying or explaining any part of the application."

Mr. Thompson stated that the estimated annual water requirement for the project is <br />approximately 3.0 acre-feet with approximately 1.65 acre-feet being consumed by evaporative <br />loss. Mr. Thompson explained that an on-site well will be used to supply this water, which will <br />be operated for short periods of time each day and will pump at a maximum flow rate of 50 <br />4 <br />
