The information you have provided has <br />given us a much better understanding of the nature and scope of the problem <br />and we appreciate your cooperation. As you probably expected, our review <br />leaves us with a few unanswered questions for which we are requesting <br />further details, as follows: <br />1. Please explain the need for - and proposed use of the additional <br />acreage you are requesting in area "D". No reasons or proposed usage <br />is mentioned in the materials submitted April 29, 1982. <br />2. Have the mill site claims to USFS property been perfected? What is <br />the ownership for the lands proposed for addition to permit area "D"? <br />Adjacent ownership? <br />3. Is the La Font property inhabited? What is the source of their <br />domestic water? Other water supplies? Are there adjudicated rights for <br />the waters that are being contaminated? <br />
