I also mentioned, in my previous letter, that when we purchased the property, we <br />did not have any problems with the supply of potable water to the domestic well that is <br />attached to the property. It was in November 2014 that my tenant called me to let me know <br />that he was having trouble with the water supply to the house. This was approximately the <br />same time that Iron Mills Mine began aggressively mining the open pit sand and gravel mine <br />that is located approximately two hundred yards from the property. <br />And the problem continues to this day. With one exception; the well now goes dry for <br />longer periods of time. According to my tenant, the well would go dry for three to four days at <br />a time. As time progressed, the well would go dry for weeks at a time. And now; the well is <br />completely dry. On April 14, 2015, my tenant notified me that the well had gone dry. To this <br />day there is no water to the well at the property. <br />In March, 2014, 1 contacted the Iron Mills Mine in Denver, Colorado to inform them of <br />my problem. I was given the name of the mine superintendent for the Iron Mills Mine <br />operation in Greeley. I contacted the mine superintendent, and I told him about the problem <br />with my well. His curt reply was; "if the Iron Mills Mine operation was directly, or indirectly, <br />responsible for the lack of water to my well, because my well was not a registered well, the <br />company did not have to do anything about the problem". <br />
