The annual projected water usage for the project are as follows: <br />Development 0.00 acre feet <br />Mining (Access Road Dust Suppression) 1.47 acre feet <br />Reclamation (irrigation) 2.00 acre feet <br />Washing_Operation 20,000 tons with a 4% increase in moisture 0.60 acre feet <br />Total 4.07 acre feet <br />The above quantities consider the application of water to the surface of the haul road in the <br />amount of 3,000 gallons per day for 160 days each year. The reclamation rate of approximately 2 <br />acres per yeaz will consume approximately 2 acre feet of water per year in order to successfully <br />establish a self sustaining vegetation base on the reclaimed acreage of the current yeaz, according <br />to Mr. Wayne Cooley of the CSU extension service. Previously established reclamation <br />vegetation will not be further irrigated. This estimate is based on "creased" irrigation practices <br />achieving an efficiency of 50 percent in order to provide water 3 times during the months of - <br />September and early October. <br />G-2 <br />
