AGGREGATE <br /> Mr.Peter S.Hays,Division of Reclamation,Mining&Safety INDUSTRIES <br /> June 27,2018 <br /> Page Two <br /> look at the well. The well appeared to be a hand-dug well, 4-foot diameter concrete casing, <br /> approximately 13-14 feet from top of casing to bottom. Mr. Monroe indicated that the water <br /> level in the well was significantly lower than what he was used to seeing. <br /> Updated groundwater monitoring data was provided to Bill Schenderlein,Blue Earth Solutions, <br /> who is the engineer that provides groundwater evaluations of the Wattenberg Lakes operation for <br /> Aggregate. Mr. Schenderlein and I also met at Monroe's again on May 10 so that Mr. <br /> Schenderlein could look at the existing well and offer potential mitigation options,which <br /> included increasing the existing well,delivering water to the well or replacing the well. <br /> It was determined that the most effective solution was to drill a new well. Three well contractors <br /> were contacted and brought to the Monroe property to provide estimates. A contractor has been <br /> selected and it is anticipated that a new well and pump will be installed and tied into Monroe's <br /> existing irrigation system within the next week,at Aggregate's expense. <br /> Aggregate has provided its engineer, Mr. Schenderlein,with updated measurements of <br /> monitoring wells around the Wattenberg Lakes site. Mr. Schenderlein has reviewed the data and <br /> provided an evaluation,which is attached. As Mr. Schenderlein notes,Aggregate will continue <br /> to measure its wells and have the data evaluated on a regular basis to assess on-site conditions <br /> and potential off-site impacts from Aggregate's operations. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Connie N. Davis <br /> Land Manager <br /> Enclosure <br />
