SUMMARY OF CU CREDITS <br />The following table, extracted from Table 7, shows the compilation of the dry -up credits and the <br />corresponding CU credits for each set of shares. These amounts are fully consumable for <br />industrial uses (including dust suppression and domestic use at the mine facilities), and <br />augmentation purposes. Excess CU credits will be stored in various ponds as space is available. <br />Month <br />CU credit for 27 shares, <br />max of 97.8 acre -feet <br />CU credit for 34 shares <br />Units <br />acre -feet <br />acre -feet <br />Totalacres <br />74 <br />67.18 <br />Totalshares <br />27 <br />34 <br />April <br />3.89 <br />4.99 <br />May <br />16.88 <br />16.87 <br />June <br />19.49 <br />25.02 <br />July <br />20.30 <br />26.06 <br />August <br />18.54 <br />23.80 <br />September <br />14.82 <br />14.64 <br />October <br />3.88 <br />4.98 <br />Total <br />97.80 <br />116.37 <br />MINING WATER DEPLETIONS <br />Mining water depletions potentially could have an impact on nearby wells and downstream <br />senior surface water rights. To mitigate against any such impacts, analysis must quantify the <br />amounts of such depletions and identify the point in the drainage where the depletion is <br />occurring. Currently, the active mining depletions associated with NH2 are all within the Tuttle <br />drainage. Future depletions in NHN will occur to both the Tuttle and Coal Canyon draws. <br />Future depletions for the Cyprus area will occur to Calamity Draw and the San Miguel River. <br />Table 15 lists the estimated monthly depletions for the basin in which they occur, and the <br />method of augmentation. <br />DUST SUPPRESSION <br />Dust suppression is the main industrial use of water at the mine. Dust suppression use is fully <br />consumptive. A WFC mine engineer has stated that the dust suppression amounts for the future <br />mining of NHN and Cyprus areas will most likely be similar to the amounts that have occurred at <br />NH2 since 1998. <br />Since 1998, WFC has kept accurate monthly records of the water pumped into trucks and applied <br />to roads for dust suppression in the NH2 area. Table 9 shows the minimum, maximum and <br />average monthly amounts of dust suppression from 1998 to 2008. To be consistent with average <br />VA <br />
