In this current plan, you propose to replace depletions which occur at seven <br />different mine sites, specifically: 1) Howe Pit, M-78-052, 2) the Tanabe Pit, M-00-002, 3) the <br />Dunes Development, M-99-093, 4) the Mann Lakes, M-82-147, 5) the Ft. Lupton Pit, M-85-088, <br />6) the Riverbend Operation, M-00-016, and 7) Stagecoach Stop Property, M-83-067. <br />Plan Operation <br />According to the current proposal, the Howe Pit, Dune Development site and Mann <br />lakes Pit are active mining sites, the only water use at the Fort Lupton Pit and Tanabe Pit will be <br />evaporation from exposed ground water, the Riverbend Operation remains inactive with no <br />exposed ground water or consumptive use and the Stagecoach Stop Property will begin mining <br />in December of 2005 . <br />This plan identifies replacement sources to cover depletions from the multiple mine sites. <br />The required fee of $1519 (7 sites x $217/site) has been submitted. The following table lists the <br />sites that are involved in this combined replacement plan: <br />TABLE A -COMBINED REPLACEMENT PLAN SITES <br />Site Name DMG # Ex osed Surface acres <br />Howe Pit M-78-052 18.3 acres current) ex osed - 26.6 ex osed re-81 <br />Tanabe Pit M-00-002 10.4 <br />Dunes Develo ment M-99-093 3.2 <br />Mann Lakes M-82-147 25.5 <br />Ft.
