<br />• <br />I• <br />maximum size island is created, the lake surface azea will be 144 acres; if no island is created, <br />the lake surface azea will be 162 acres. <br />Annual evaporative depletion at mining completion from 144 acres of exposed water surface at <br />the Anderson Pit is calculated to be 445 acre-feet; annual evaporative depletion at mining <br />completion from 162 acres of exposed water surface at the Anderson Pit is calculated to be 501 <br />acre-feet. <br />Total annual depletions from the gravel mining operations aze estimated to be 445 acre-feet <br />during the post mining phase of the operation, not wonting credits for precipitation. <br />Credits <br />The Anderson Pit property possesses very senior water rights in the Bona Fide Ditch. The Bona <br />Fide Ditch has a flow of 65 cfs. The Anderson property has 34 shares in the Bona Fide Ditch, <br />which results in 263 acre-feet of water per month between April 1 and November 15, while the <br />ditch is active. In addition, the McGrath property has 20.67 shazes in the Bona Fide Ditch, <br />which results in 160 acre-feet of water per month between April 1 and November 15, while the <br />ditch is active. <br />The amount of water described above is more than adequate to augment the evaporative losses <br />upon wmpletion of mining during the months which the Bona Fide Ditch is active since the <br />losses will be greater than during mining. Because of this, only a portion of those shazes will be <br />wnverted. <br />Since the entire Anderson and McGrath properties will be dried up and irrigation will no longer <br />take place on the either property, a portion of the water rights present will be wnverted to <br />industrial use during the mining phase and recreational and wildlife use upon wmpletion of <br />mining. <br />Anderson Pit, Apri107 <br />G-5 <br />
