Page Two <br />Mr. Wenzel and Mr. Mount <br />in the expansion azeas. Regardless of what is alluded to by the applicants and their paid <br />hydrologist, ground water was hit and had been used (they were pumping out of the <br />ground). They were also operating without official water rights. I would think the State <br />would care about that and not allow them to correct it after the fact or expand into <br />another area to possibly damage and take away the rest of our property rights especially <br />where the water is concerned. <br />We re-submit you own inspection report dated 09/05/2006 to be entered back into the <br />record for the State's consideration of allowing this expansion. The existing pit is one <br />thing but the expansion should not be allowed, period. Further testing needs to be done. <br />The hydrologist hired by the applicant did no tests in the old site nor in the new azea. <br />Does not residential wells 30 feet from the property line count for something? Our well <br />has been here since 1985 and the Thompsons did not even purchase the expansion lands <br />until 1999. All other property owners share this same concern. <br />We beg you not to be hasty in your decision. Consider all the facts and do more actual <br />engineering. Please be advised that the Spurlins and the whole neighborhood want to go <br />on record that we have advised you of the potential physical and financial impact to all of <br />us should the State allow this expansion. Covering up ground water or re-drilling a <br />neighboring well if it is injured, does not guazantee the same amount or quality that the <br />neighborhood has enjoyed. Please bring the State Engineer, the Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources, and the Water Commissioner for District 51 into this process as <br />requested in the neighborhoods letters to both you and the State Engineer on September <br />27, 2006. You advised me this week Mr. Wenzel that the Holley's letter on behalf of the <br />whole neighborhood did not request any action on your part. You are mistaken. We are <br />all asking for intervention in this matter by your Deparhnent and those mentioned above. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sharon and Bill Spurlin for all the homeowners in the "affected" (our definition not the <br />State's) neighborhood <br />PO Box 677 <br />Granby, CO 80446 <br />
