Further <br /> mining proposed by Broken Arrow in this area will cause the Hoshiko well to continue to be <br /> dewatered and inoperable for an unacceptably longer period of time. Hence,Hoshiko protests <br /> and opposes the approval of the subject Broken Arrow application. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> HOSHIKO LAND, LLC <br /> Dennis J. Hoshiko <br /> Managing Member <br />
