PCC is submitting to the State of Colorado an <br /> application to revise the permit for the NUCLA MINE to <br /> include the proposed NUCLA EAST mining area. Sections of the <br /> permit application deal with rights of water required for <br /> municipal use (potable water supply) and industrial use (dust <br /> suppression, construction compaction make-up water, water <br /> losses due to evaporation, water to augment impacted water <br /> rights) . PCC is required to show that it has the necessary <br /> water rights to adequately satisfy mining and augmentation <br /> water-supply requirements and also to provide a plan for <br /> augmentation of impacted water rights. <br /> GeoTrans Engineering and Construction Services, Inc. <br /> (GEOTRANS) was retained by GeoTrans, Inc. to provide <br /> technical assistance on water-rights issues related to the <br /> permit revision for the NUCLA mine. Work included the <br /> following: <br /> a. collection and review of available site-specific <br /> information from PCC's files about PCC's land <br /> resources in the Nucla area and all associated <br /> surface- and ground-water rights; <br /> b. collection and review of the Colorado State <br /> Engineer's surface- and ground-water rights <br /> information relevant to PCC's mining operations. <br /> 2 <br /> GEOTRANS, INC. <br />
