• • 10 approach. After all, it is in everyone's interest to see the system proactively and practically. The Master Plan focus will be on 'Applied' replenishment and return o as much substitute water as early as is feasible to its traditional use. The ex Biting of extraction and construction of a lined reservoir on each area of impac will go a long way toward advancing this objective. It seems probable while w iting this, that if it will simplify matters, at some point a round table meeting with all Contacts might prove helpful and time saving, and the need should become self- vident at some point following everyone's review of this Letter. • INITIAL STEPS: •• By mutual agreement below, the following actions will occur: 1 2. The Division of Water Resources [OSE] will correspond to the olorado Division of Minerals and Geology and identify that Varra Compa ies, Inc. is constructively in compliance with SB 120 and has by this Lette of Intent provided satisfactory evidence of substitute water. Varra Companies, Inc., will coordinate its Contacts through the office of Dick Wolfe, Colorado Division of Water Resources, to effect: a. a designated trustee for the management of water in tru t [Water Bank]. b. a final draft of a Master Temporary Substitute Supply Pla for final approval by the State Engineer. 3. Allow for the uninterrupted extraction of lands by Varra Compa ies, Inc. as permitted by the DMG, not to exceed 200 surface acres of exposed ground water prior to the actual approval of the Master Substitut Supply Plan by the State Engineer. Since this is a process, the foundation to permit the development of Master Plan is dependent upon approval of the elements of this Letter of Inte t. Initial details of the Master Plan will not be crafted in a vacuum, but by int nt, draw upon the intellectual resources of all the Contacts who will play a majori y role in its application in the real world. Varra Companies, Inc., is grateful to everyone involved for thei willing participation and kind assistance in the initial phase of this project. We are genuinely hopeful this project will serve to benefit everyone, while rel ing the very difficult elements of the burden of time that any substitute sup ly plan entails.
