Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs <br />Water: <br />Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map, shows the anticipated extent of final exposed <br />groundwater in acres based upon present day elevations of the existing 26.26± acre <br />pond. The combined maximum extent of exposed groundwater is 128.4± acres <br />from combined Tracts A and C, plus 7.0± acres from Tract B, or a Total of 135.4± <br />acres. <br />Of the 26.26± acre pond, fill (6720.29± sq.ft.) has been placed to establish a proper <br />buffer distance of 100.00± feet between the pond edge and the Cache La Poudre <br />River. Additional fill (5805.83± sq.ft.) has been placed along a portion of the West <br />bank of the pond, and additional fill will be placed along the perimeter of the <br />existing well (8934.29± sq.ft.) to establish a final buffer for oil well operations of <br />100.00± feet. For purposes of calculation, the 26.26± acres of the existing pond <br />are utilized. <br />Since Basin Area is greater than the actual area of exposed ground water, the <br />calculation for potential exposed groundwater is the basin area less 12 percent. <br />This is conservative, as the 11.61 planned extraction area of Tract B results in a <br />7.0± acre pond, which is a factor significantly greater than 12 percent of the basin <br />area. <br />The approved substitute supply plan of 10 July 2003 (Colorado Office of the State <br />Engineer, refer to Exhibit H - Water Information) provides for the following acres <br />of exposed groundwater: <br />79.20± Acres Post 1980 water <br />44.60± Acres Pre- 1981 water <br />1.28± April Storage (3.44 AF _ 2.68 = 1.28 surface acres) <br />125.08± Total Surface Acres of Exposed Groundwater available for Extraction <br />26.26± Tract C - Exposed Groundwater <br />11.84± Tract D - Area to be Backfilled - Projected Groundwater Extent <br />37.05± Tract A - Completed Extraction Area <br />15.68± Tract A - Active Area of Extraction <br />17.73± Tract A - Projected Area of Extraction <br />108.56± Total Surface Acres Demand (2003 to the completion of Tract A) <br />Varra Companies, Inc.
