This <br />sediment pond has been on this property of more than 13 years <br />and was maintained throughout the mining operations and <br />reclamation operations as required in 4.05.6, demonstrating it <br />can more than handle any amount of water that we have <br />received in that length of time and complied with the State and <br />Federal water quality laws. This pond would have been <br />required to be on this property if it had not been prime farmland, <br />but since it was and is, it should have been located elsewhere off <br />the Morgan property. The state has the authority to order its <br />removal . Therefore, we are requesting for the immediate <br />removal of pond 11 because all the rules and regulations are <br />being met for sediment control as well as prime farmland. <br />Waddles will be placed in that area once the pond has been <br />returned as part of the field. It also helps with the irrigation of <br />the prime farmland field because with the pond there, the wheels <br />of the side -roll must be dropped which is not an efficient way of <br />operating. Thank you, now to the next issue. <br />The monitoring wells are on our prime farmland in a portion of <br />the field. They have monitored these for 15 years or better now. <br />We see no use for those wells and either ask that they be <br />
