Moreover, Battle Mountain has admitted <br />in the Water Court proceedings that the substitute supply plan is <br />an inadequate source of water for the project requirements. <br />Accordingly, Battle Mountain has failed to satisfy the <br />requirements of M.L.R.D. Rule 2.1.2 (8), and for this reason <br />alone, the request for the amendment should be denied. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Neal S.
