Veronica Cantrell <br /> Address,City,ST ZIP Code <br /> Telephone Email ' <br /> RE: Application M-2016-085-Northern Colorado Constructors,Inc. - Bennett Pit-112c <br /> RECEIVED <br /> 3/15/17 MAR 2 0 2017 <br /> DNISION OF RECLAMATION <br /> Peter Hays MINING&SAFETy <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> Division of Reclamation,Mining&Safety-State of Colorado <br /> 1313 Sherman St. Room 215 <br /> Denver,CO 80203 <br /> Dear Mr. Hays, <br /> I would like to add the following concern to my letter you received dated 3/9/17. After receiving the proof of publication in <br /> the Ft Lupton Press it is clear to me that none of the concerns(valid thought they may be) are not concerns of your office. <br /> Environmental concerns are not excluded from your list of problems you do not concern your selves with so I hope there <br /> is some thought that goes into that process! <br /> I would like to add one additional concern which your board absolutely needs to consider. Our property is located north of <br /> the proposed Bennett. The eastern portion of our property is at the same elevation as the proposed pit. Because the <br /> existing water table is extremely high we are very concerned about the proposed slurry walls that will be needed to dry <br /> mine the pit. In the summer the water table has risen to within 18 inches of the surface of our grass field and corrals. With <br /> the ground water mounding that will result from the slurry walls we are very concerned we will lose valuable ground to <br /> swamping issues. We want to know that this issue has been addressed and a solution to this problem offered prior to the <br /> start of this operation. <br /> Again, I than u for your consideration. <br /> Sinc <br /> eronica <br />
