There are eight water rights that are located across the state highway and railroad to the northeast <br />of the permit area. These water right sites are listed as diversion points, a spring, one pump and <br />pipeline and one irrigation ditch. All of these sites are at least 3000 feet upgradient of the <br />planned disturbance so no negative effects from loadout operations are expected. <br />Four water rights involving two irrigation wells and a ditch with an associated pump are located <br />at least 6,000 feet downstream of the proposed loadout, alongside the Colorado River. Also, <br />three water rights associated with two ponds and one monitoring well are located about a mile <br />from the east end of the proposed haul road. Because of the distances involved, and the dilution <br />effect of the Colorado River, negative effects are not expected. <br />Should there be injured water rights due to the operations at the proposed loadout, CAM has a <br />water replacement plan in place. Details of the alternate sources of water can be found in Section <br />2.04.7(3) of the permit application. <br />19 <br />
