DRMS - Table 2.04.7 -5 lists the water rights leased by New Elk Coal Company. Please update <br />this table, if necessary, with current information. Please also correct the date for Tafoya and <br />Virgil, listed as 22/2/2866. <br />NECC - Table 2.04.7 -5 was revised to include statement that Lorencito Coal, LLC no longer <br />leases any water rights. <br />2. DRMS - The Table of Contents identifies Map 2.04.9 -1 Soils but the map in the approved permit <br />is `Soils - Jeff Canyon Surface Mine 5 -year Mine Plan, Map 2.04.9 -2 (RN -01) 11/2003 ".

While some of this information may be correct, many ditches are not <br />shown as compared to Map 2.05.4 -2 Post mining Topography 2006. Should Figure EX 15 -15 be <br />referenced as historic and should some of the ditch labeling be transferred to Map 2.05.4 -2 to <br />accurately reflect the existing surface water management system? Please review and respond as <br />necessary. <br />NECC - The two drawings should be worked together to determine ditch alignment and naming. <br />
