OBSERVATIONS
The Loloff Mine was inspected by Peter Hays with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety
(Division/DRMS) in response to a citizen complaint (CT -04) received on May 27, 2015 from Mr. Clarence Lopez
on behalf of Marcos Hernandez and Maria de Lourdes Palma. This complaint is a continuation of the previous
complaint (CT -03) regarding possible impacts to the well owned by Mr. Hernandez.
The Hernandez property, 160 N. 1st Avenue, Greeley, CO 80631, is located northwest of the Loloff Mine. The
complaint letter states the source of water for the house is the domestic water well located on the property.
The latest complaint letter states the problems with the well have continued, the well goes dry for longer
