Re: Rodmans' Demand Regarding Greeley's Sand and Gravel Mine, 25th Avenue Site, <br /> M-2002-020 <br /> August 22, 2014 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Rodman that cistern water levels are low and water is needed for irrigation. This has included <br /> water deliveries made on July 24th, 25th, and 29th, and August 14th and 15th. <br /> The hauled water and cistern provide the Rodmans with an alternative source of water during <br /> Greeley's mine dewatering operations to support what we understand to be the historic well <br /> water production on the Rodman property. While other options have been considered and <br /> discussed, including the installation of a water line, it was determined based on information <br /> available to us and the actions we have already taken, that further actions are not necessary at <br /> this time. Therefore,we presently plan to continue filling the cistern with hauled water when <br /> necessary and in a manner that is reasonable and responsive to the Rodmans' requests. At this <br /> time,based on the information available to us, we believe that Greeley's actions have more than <br /> adequately addressed any potential impacts from Greeley's dewatering operations. <br /> We share the Rodmans' desire to resolve the present situation. However, we lack specific <br /> information that would lead us to believe that our efforts have not sufficiently addressed the <br /> Rodmans' well production problems to the extent they may be attributable to our operations. If <br /> you can provide us with additional information, including records of the historical production of <br /> the wells and any other information by which we can objectively assess the impact of our <br /> operations on the output of the Rodman wells, we will reassess our position. <br /> Thank your for your ongoing cooperation and assistance in this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Environmental and Water Resources Attorney <br /> City of Greeley, Colorado <br /> cc: (via email) <br /> Peter Hays, Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> Eric Reckentine, City of Greeley Deputy Director Water Resources <br /> Jim Hall, City of Greeley Water Resources Manager <br />
