Crai Tessmer SUMMARY After receiving several complaints from citizens in the Henderson, Colorado area about having dry wells, staff conducted a interdepartmental investigation of the area to try and identify where the cause of the problem may be located. The im+esttgatlon team was made up of staff from Adams County Planning Department, the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology, and the Colorado Division of Water Resources. It was discovered during this irrvestigation that the M&G Pit ,located approximately 2,500 feet from and in a Southeasterly direction from the affected wells, was dewatered and being mined dry. The majority of the site approximately 75 acres was dry to a depth of 17 to 25 feet. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS UPDATE The Board continued the case so that the operator, Albert Frei & Sons, could develop a plan to mitigate the wells to Henderson, Colorado. The Board also gave the operator an order to cease dry mining. The following two documents are submitted to the Board as exhibits: 1) The Mitigation Plan submitted by Albert Frei & Sons, Inc. 2) Memorandum to the Director, Planning and Development, outlining staffs continuing investigation of the wells in Henderson including an inspection of the M&G Pit. FINDINGS OF FACT 1) The water level 1n the M&G Pit has increased to a normal winter level. 2) The vertical hydrological pressure is felt almost immediately across the area influenced by the past dewatering and the surrounding water table should have increased as the M&G Pit filled. 3) Mr. Frei of Albert Fret & Sons, Inc. has coordinated with most of the well owners in Henderson, Colorado. 4) As a result of the refilling of the M&G Ptt, any wells affected should now show improvement unless there is some other problem with the wells. R mm n Accept the Mitigation Plan submitte by Albert Frei & Sons, Inc. along with a stern warning to not deviate from his Design and Operations Plan unless amended throu due process review. s i
