<br />Basin's water usage fluctuates with mining rates. Combinations of <br />the Purgatoire Water Rights and Golden Eagle Mine Water Rights are <br />used in varying proportions to meet the needs of the New Elk and <br />Golden Eagle facilities. Compliance with decreed water usage is <br />under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Division of Water Resources, <br />Division 2, and is monitored by the Area Water Commissioner, Danny <br />Marques. In addition, water is purchased from the City of Trinidad <br />for domestic and other uses. Information on water usage is <br />reported to the Office of Mined Land Reclamation in the annual <br />hydrology report. <br />If you have any questions, or require additional information <br />regarding water rights, please contact me. <br />Sin ely, <br />~~ <br />Ronald G. Thompson <br />Senior Mine Engineer <br />
