TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO PREVENT INJURY <br />1. To prevent expansion of use, the dry -up acres identified in this report should not be <br />irrigated using CC Ditch water rights. HCU credits used in the augmentation plan shall <br />not exceed the monthly limits outlined in Table 7 <br />2. This report takes into account the movement of the mined area from NH2 to NHN and <br />then to Cyprus. Tables 15 and 16 will be used to calculate the replacement water <br />obligations under this augmentation plan. Before entry of a decree, a form will be <br />created so that WFC can input current mine parameters (e.g., surface area of ponds as <br />they may be built or reclaimed, etc.) to determine current depletions for purposes of <br />calculating replacement obligations. <br />3. Replacements of out -of- priority depletions calculated under Tables 15 and 16 will be <br />made upstream of senior calling water right. To the extent the call is less than the amount <br />of depletions called for under Tables 15 and 16, the lesser amount will be replaced. <br />Downstream senior calls of out -of- priority depletions arising from the bottom of <br />Calamity and Tuttle Draws and on the mainstem of the San Miguel River shall be <br />replaced as calculated under Table 15. Senior local calls arising from the Holder Ditch <br />or Charlie Rice Ditch as to any out -of- priority depletions occurring from mining <br />operations shall be replaced to the draw where the call originates as calculated under <br />Table 16. <br />4. WFC has adequate HCU credits from the CC Ditch to replace all mine depletions, either <br />from CC Ditch releases or from CC Ditch water stored in ponds for later releases. Water <br />pumped from the mine will not be used for augmentation purposes. <br />5. The use of CC Ditch water for direct flow and storage purposes, including the irrigation, <br />industrial, reclamation, and augmentation uses described herein, will not cause injury if <br />used according to this augmentation plan. <br />CONCLUSION <br />This report has identified the potential water depletions associated with the WFC mine, in both <br />the present and future areas of NHN and Cyprus. It also addresses the depletions and CU credits <br />associated with Case No. 88CW55, and permanently assigns the location of 74 acres of dry -up. <br />It is my professional opinion that this augmentation plan, if operated pursuant to the terms and <br />conditions listed above, will not cause injury to any nearby wells or surface water rights. <br />/s/ - Wayne I.
