(WWE) on behalf of Western Gravel, Inc. (WGI), is requesting a <br />Wright Water Engineers, <br />two year renewal for the Olathe Gravel Pit Substitute Water Supply Plan (SWSP) submitted in <br />April 2008, which expires March 31, 2010. <br />Tables detailing the depletions associated with mining operations are attached to this document. <br />Since the submittal of the original SWSP, WGI has forgone mining of the Olathe Pit due to <br />unfavorable economic conditions; therefore, the depletions have not changed from those already <br />approved, except for a decrease in anticipated mining production from 55,000 tons to 40,000 <br />tons per year. Table 2 outlines depletions through March of 2012 assuming that mining <br />operations will take place in 2010 and 2011. <br />NOGI has applied to purchase 3 acre-feet of water from Blue Mesa for replacement per the <br />,conditions of approval, and are in the process of purchasing an additional 1.6 acre-feet to satisfy <br />the total replacement supply of 4.6 acre-feet for Year 1 (Table 3, Column (5) for Year 1). An <br />additional 0.9 acre-feet will need to be purchased before Year 2 to meet the Year 2 replacement <br />supply of 5.5 acre-feet (Table 3, Column (5) for Year 2). <br />A well permit application has been filed with the state (receipt #3627765) and WGI is waiting on <br />the Blue Mesa Contract approval for the issuance of a well permit. A check for $257.00 <br />covering the SWSP renewal fee has been mailed by WGI. <br />If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us. <br />DENVER GLENWOOD SPRINGS <br />(303) 480-1700 TEL (303) 480-1020 FAX (970) 945-7755 TEL (970) 945.9210 FAX
