`-71111111111111III <br /> WATER RESOURCES <br /> Summary <br /> Only one irrigation ditch crosses the proposed mine site. It <br /> ' will be relocated in such a way that there will be no adverse <br /> effects on downstream water rights owners . Lakes will be <br /> ' created as part of the reclamation plan; the difference in <br /> pre- and post-mining water use on the site has been calculated <br /> by Leonard Rice Consulting Water Engineers. An augmentation <br /> 1 agreement for evaporation from lake surfaces is being worked -out with District 6 Water Users.
