<br />Reclamation for the propoeed mining operation will require <br />water for irrigation in eddition to the wash water. Approximately <br />6 acres each year will be reclaimed as the mining operation <br />progresses, etartinQ with the third year. Water required for <br />irrigation is estimated to be approximately 12 inches per yen: <br />during `_he reclamation proceae. No additional water for <br />irrigation will be required after the reclamation year. I'he <br />water required for the 6 acres reclaimed each year will b,a 6 <br />acre-feet which we think is in line with the consumptive iee of <br />the current area and no nddtional water rights should be Zea:led <br />to replete this use. The primary difference between the <br />reclamation and natural use 1~ the manner in which the <br />application occurs. <br />Water needs are supplied by means of an alternate point of <br />diversion approved for the Mosquito Creek Ditch. <br />An NPDES permit i~ not required for this operation. <br />
