ORDER
WEINSTEIN, Judge.
Before the court are the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment on the date of taking of plaintiffs’ “deep mineral estate,” at depths over 1,300-1,500 feet, under the approximately 849 acre Stitz ranch.
The parties previously stipulated that the entire mineral estate was taken on or about May 18, 1982, when the government fenced and allegedly closed off the area and closed the floodgates to the Choke Canyon reservoir and dam, thus placing the property at immediate risk of flooding, but the government has withdrawn its stipulation, as to the deep mineral estate.2
