MANAGEMENT <br />FtEGE1VED <br />~~N ip~c1001~on <br />pivisw~ ynd Safe~Y <br />N1inm9 <br />The Division of Water Resources letter dated May 29, 2007 provided a response <br />regarding evaporative losses from the Hubbard Creek pond. The letter indicated Bowie <br />may select one of the two options presented in my letter dated April 27, 2007. However, <br />Bowie may still be required to replace depletions for the second option where water is <br />hauled to one of Bowie's other ponds. <br />Bowie prefers to construct the sediment pond in Hubbard Creek and keep the pond dry <br />during periods of call on Hubbard Creek. The following procedure will be followed during <br />periods of call on Hubbard Creek when there is a pool of water in the Hubbard Creek <br />pond. <br />1. Calculate the amount of water in the pond. <br />2. Load a water truck(s) with that amount of water from Bowie's industrial water <br />right (Deer Trail Industrial Right 02CW77). <br />3. Release the water into Hubbard Creek. <br />4. Pump the water from the pond into a water truck. <br />5. Discharge the water into Pond J which is normally dry and has a plan for <br />augmentation both for storage and evaporation (02CW77). <br />Please let me know if this operation plan for the Hubbard Creek pond is acceptable. <br />Sincere)/~ <br />'1 1•i~-/ <br />J.
