This SWSP will cover the <br />estimated depletions from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. The required fee of $257 <br />for this SWSP has been submitted (receipt nos. 3688907). <br />SWSP Operations <br />The Morton-Holton Lakes Mine is located in the SE ¼ of Section 1 and the NE1/4 of Section 12, <br />all in Township 1 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., and the SW ¼ of Section 6, and the <br />NW1/4 of Section 7, all in Township 1 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. The depletions that <br />result from the mining operation over the period of this SWSP include evaporation from exposed <br />ground water, dust suppression, dewatering, water washed for the mined product, and <br />additional fill. <br />Mining of the Morton-Holton Lakes site is presently expected to last up to fifteen years. The <br />current mining plan for the site is shown in attached Figure 1. The replacement of depletions for <br />Morton-Holton site is fully consumable water leased from the City of Aurora.
