II. Impact to Domestic and Farm Well -Objection: <br />A. Background Information: For 25 years this land owners domestic /farm well has <br />produced adequate and reliable water. The domestic /farm well is an alluvial ground <br />water well with a depth of less than 30 feet. This land owners domestic/farm well is less <br />than 200 feet from the proposed mine slurry wall and a proposed Asphalt and Concrete <br />Batch Plant Area. <br />B. The alluvial ground water and domestic/farm well may be significantly compromised by <br />the applicants proposed slurry wall. <br />C. Principally the impact to the alluvial groundwater domestic/farm wells adequate and <br />reliable water production and water quality is; <br />L the slurry wall will cause interference with the immediately adjacent ground <br />water, <br />ii. the slurry wall will cause interference with the immediate groundwater flow <br />path, <br />iii. the slurry wall will cause interference with the ground waters hydraulic <br />conductivity, <br />iv. the slurry wall will cause interference with sub surface earth materials (fine <br />grained sediments) in close proximity of the well and may cause consolidation <br />of grained sediments and poor hydraulic conductivity, <br />v. the slurry wall will cause interference with the hydraulic head of the well over <br />time, <br />vi. additionally, the ground water flow hydraulic will be interrupted over time <br />given the slurry walls southwest corner is in close proximity to these <br />landowners well, <br />vii. The influence caused by the slurry walls location to the well will create a cone <br />of depression developed overtime and a loss of water production will occur. <br />Recommendation: Request proposals, from qualified (PE) water engineers to investigate the potential <br />effects on ground water hydrology and affects of the southwest corner of the slurry wall. Require a two <br />(2) year ground water flow analysis within a described study area starting immediately. Require a <br />described study area, methods, extent of study model set up, require biweekly monitoring of <br />pizometers, data recording and analysis. Require engineers to make recommendation for the mitigation <br />of well impacts and stipulate that a well impact trigger point is pre- approved for all costs associated <br />with the wells replacement. Also, require the applicant to be responsible for all federal, state, county, <br />city permits for construction and installation of a replacement well. <br />Conclusion: These land and well owners ask that before approval of the applicant's aggregate materials <br />mining permit, conditions above are implemented and stated as a condition of approval of the <br />applicant's aggregate material mining permit. <br />Ili. Objection to Applicants "Fugitive Dust" "Fugitive Particulate Emissions" Acerbated by <br />North by Northwest Prevailing Winds: <br />A. Background Information. The proposed mine is less than two hundred feet from the <br />Windell's whom have owned their farm for 25 years. The applicants proposed <br />
