Lochhead <br />Execolive Dvetlor <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Unector <br />Today I spoke with Terry Ireland (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) <br />regarding the above-referenced permitting actions. Mr. Ireland <br />indicated that we must conduct a formal consultation with the <br />U.S.F.W.S. with these actions due to the operator's projection that <br />water consumption will increase from the previously approved number <br />of 76.4 acre-feet/year, to 84.2 acre-feet/year. Your assistance is <br />requested in initiating the required consultation. <br />I enclose the water consumption projection which applies to both <br />Permit Revision No. 7 and Technical Revision No. 79. I also enclose <br />the wildlife surveys that were conducted relative to each of the <br />referenced permitting actions. Please call with any questions, and <br />thank you for your assistance. <br />
