I am responding to your 1/27/2015 <br />letter requesting more information regarding the status of the closure of the 2 water wells <br />owned by CAP Land Company located on this mine. Albert Frei and Sons has no knowledge as to <br />whether these well were properly abandoned by their owner. According to Office of the State <br />Engineer Rules, the responsibility to make sure they were properly abandoned lies with Cap <br />Land Company. <br />RULE 16 - STANDARDS FOR PLUGGING, SEALING AND ABANDONING WELLS AND BORE - <br />HOLES. <br />Rule 16.1 reads in part: "It is the ultimate responsibility of the well owner to <br />have an existing well properly plugged, sealed and abandoned." <br />Albert Frei & Sons, Inc. does not have, nor were they given the responsibility to <br />perform that action. <br />Sincerely, <br />Environment, Inc. <br />_:�00 9�� <br />Stevan L.
