Memo dated May 13, 2002. At least one year of data (beginning in fall of 2001) will be collected prior to

augmentation trigger mechanism will be proposed to DMG and approved by DMG prior to initiating mining
activities. Tbis trigger mechanism should be specific with respect to when augmentation would begin, and the
augmentation plan should be specific as to volumes of water involved, times of year for delivery, and length of
