69 <br /> 1 mine? 1 have. <br /> 2 MR. SINGLETARY: I'm going to overrule 2 MR. SINGLETARY: Mr. Justus? <br /> 3 his objection. 3 MR. JUSTUS: I'm going to let <br /> 4 Q. (BY MR. STUTZ) And solely based -- 4 Mr. Schultz go first. <br /> 5 MR. SINGLETARY: I'm going to overrule 5 MR. SCHULTZ: Scott Schultz on behalf of <br /> 6 his objection. Go ahead. 6 the Division. <br /> 7 A. Yeah. I would like to azrent on that. 7 EXAMINATION <br /> 8 It looks like they've done a lot of technical things to 8 BY MR. SCHULTZ: <br /> 9 evaluate the connection from one hole to the shaft. 9 Q. Mr. Carey, again, you stated that back <br /> 10 But we know that there's multiple areas where water 10 in 2014 over a period of 30 days that you applied 230 <br /> 11 goes subgrade in the system. 11 acre feet or 77 million gallons to Tract 71 and your <br /> 12 The problem with the ERT testing is that 12 property, correct? <br /> 13 void spaces in the ground are air spaces, and when 13 A. I did not apply it, but it was applied. <br /> 14 they're dry, they show up as -- as blockages, but in 14 Q. Okay. Is there any sort of gauge on the <br /> 15 reality those air spaces are the conduit for the flow 15 Carey Pond somehow indicating haw much water is going <br /> 16 of water subgrade. 16 into the Carey Pond? <br /> 17 And so in the testing procedures, they 17 A. We don't have a gauge directly on the <br /> 18 identified one hole in a dry condition and wetted that 18 Carey Pond, no. <br /> 19 one hole with .03 percent of an acre foot and then 19 Q. Okay. And you referred to the Carey <br /> 20 proceeded to test. All the dry holes showed up as i20 Pond as part of an irrigation system, correct? <br /> 21 obstructions or no hydrologic caammication because 121 A. Correct. <br /> 22 they were not caaamicating water at the time. 22 Q. What does the Carey Pond irrigate? <br /> 23 The one wet place that was cammicating 23 A. The Carey Pond does not irrigate <br /> 24 water at the time, they saw that connection, and they 24 anything. <br /> 25 came to the conclusion that our wet hole commicates j25 Q. Did you or Mr. Fontanari ever plant any <br /> 242 244 <br /> 1 water. 1 crops on Tract 71 or anywhere at the site? <br /> 2 Now, when we applied water and we 2 A. Yes. Crops have been planted and <br /> 3 recognized that water was coning out of the portal, we 3 irrigated on the site in the past. <br /> 4 did that at 238 acre feet. We had -- and we didn't 4 Q. When -- when? <br /> 5 even have the whole system saturated. We didn't have 5 A. I don't have specific dates. <br /> 6 all of the field saturated. We didn't have all of the 6 Q. What was planted? <br /> 7 area saturated. We just had the main ditch and the 7 A. There's been a range of vegetation. <br /> 8 pond saturated, and that took 238 acre feet. 8 Q. Nothing more specific than that; a range <br /> 9 MR. SINGLETARY: Wait a minute. Let me 9 of vegetation was planted at sane point in time? <br /> 10 object to that. I want to ask you about the 238 acre 10 A. Correct. <br /> 11 feet. So what you did is you accumulated 30 days of 11 Q. Was it sanetime in the last 10 years? <br /> 12 water, and you released it all at one time. That's j12 A. Not in the last 10 years. <br /> 13 what you're telling me, right? 13 Q. Okay. During this 30-day period in <br /> 14 MR. CAREY: Not at all. We did that -- 14 2014, again 230 acre feet you said were used. What <br /> 15 MR. SINGLETARY: I mean, it took 238 -- 15 were you applying this water to? <br /> 16 it takes a month to accumulate 238 acre feet. 16 A. That water was all return flow. It <br /> 17 MR. CAREY: Correct. So for 30 days 4 � 17 soaked into the ground and back into the hydrologic <br /> 18 cfs was soaking the ground. Because the ground is so 18 system. <br /> 19 porous there, we have to build up the groundwater in 19 Q. I'm not -- I'm confused. What are you <br /> 20 order to get the water to hold on the surface. And so 20 applying the water to? <br /> 21 that took 238 acre feet to fill all those dry voids. 21 A. The water -- the ditch was being <br /> 22 So testing the system in a dry condition 22 maintained, and so the ditch was turned on to get the <br /> 23 after it was — the conclusion would be that only your 23 water flowing in the ditch in order to start applying <br /> 24 wet areas are — are coammicating the hydrology. 24 it to the fields. It's a typical practice of getting <br /> 25 MR. STUTZ: That's all the questions I 25 the system running, and so the -- the water was shut <br /> 243 245 <br />
