concerns about the location of future fences that may 

 interrupt this historic route. In order to mitigate this 

 concern. Aerojet has offered to consult with the NDOW prior 

 to the siting and construction of any security fences in 

 this area. 



LISTED ENDANGERED SPECIES 



Several listed endangered aquatic species reside in springs 

 20 miles to the North and South of Coyote Spring Valley. 

 These species and their relationship to our search for water 

 has been brought to my attention by the U.S. Fish and 

 Wildlife Service in their Section 7 Consultation. These 

 concerns are mitigated by Nevada Water Law which will 

 establish any Aerojet water right as a junior right to the 

 senior rights that exist presently in these springs. The 

 State Engineer has indicated that any decrease in water 

 quantity in these springs will require Aerojet to reduce or 

 eliminate their use of the water. Additionally, we have 

 agreed to jointly petition the State Engineer to determine 

 the cause of any reduction in spring flows and reduce water 

 use if Aerojet is the determined cause.
