One would obviously <br />assume that if the casing damage existed or occurred prior to 2012, the probe would have hung up one or more <br />times, indicating some sort of damage or irregularity in the casing. EFCI immediately reported the damaged <br />casing as soon as it was encountered in 2012. To come back now in 2015 and challenge the accuracy of the <br />data collected and reported prior to the blockage occurring is inappropriate and with no merit. If the DRMS had <br />concerns about the data reported, they should have been raised during the annual AHR reviews. EFCI will not <br />leave the data "to the side". Your belief that water should have been found is only that ... your belief. And if <br />water did or does exist right now on the mine floor, how would that change or modify the DRMS findings for <br />termination of monitoring or final bond release? It is entirely an academic exercise at this point and as EFCI has <br />clearly stated, this insignificant piece ofotp ential information is not worth the considerable expense and risk <br />when all the information is considered. MWNW was dry from the time EFCI began monitoring the casing in <br />2003 up until 2012 when the blockage was discovered. These are the facts from the public record for permit C- <br />1981-014. If the DRMS has other information to the contrary, EFCI requests that the information be shared for <br />our review. <br />https:Hm ai I .googl e.com/m ai I/u/0/?ui= 2&i k=e29129fcb5&view= pt&search= i nbox&th=14e98de0e63c521 a&si m l=14e98de0e63c521 a 1/3 <br />
