Hatcher <br />January 12, 2008 <br />Depletions <br />Paget <br />The total annual losses resulting from evaporation, water lost in product, dust control and <br />concrete batching are shown in the following table: <br />TABLE B -LOSSES <br />Site Name Evaporation <br />Losses <br />ac-ft Lost in <br />Product <br />ac-ft Dust <br />Control <br />ac-ft Concrete <br />Batching <br />ac-ft Total <br />(ac-ft) <br />Howe Pit 0 0 0 44.2 44.2 <br />Tanabe Pit 0 0 0 0 0 <br />Dunes Develo ment 0 0 0 0 0 <br />Mann Lakes 6.94 0.6 3.92 0 11.5 <br />Ft.

All process water for the Stagecoach Stop Property <br />will be pumped from well no. 63864-F which is located inside the mining permit boundary but <br />outside of the slurry wall. The water from the well will be pumped into a small lined wash pond <br />inside the slurry wall lined pit. The SWSP request assumes that the process water is 100% <br />consumed. <br />The mining sites are set back from the river, therefore, the depletions from the <br />operations were not assumed to be instantaneous. Operational and evaporative depletions at <br />the site were lagged to the stream system using a Glover analysis and the aquifer parameters <br />shown below: <br />Site Name X ft W ft T d/ft S ecific Yield <br />Howe Pit 350 12000 45000 0.2 <br />Tanabe Pit 4200 6700 115000 0.2 <br />Dunes Develo ment 2800 6700 115000 0.2 <br />Mann Lakes 400 4450 45000 0.2 <br />Sta ecoach Sto Pro ert 200 15000 45000 0.2 <br />Ft.

The SWSP request submitted on August 30, 2007 also sought to use 25 shares <br />of Fulton Ditch water as a replacement source. The Fulton Ditch water was to be recharged into <br />Zigan Reservoir, which is a reclaimed gravel pit located in Section 35, Township 1 South, Range <br />
