Tatum on the issue of the <br />stockwater well. This well is. not registered, permitted or <br />adjudicated under Colorado law and to .the best of our knowledge, has <br />not been operational since the mid-1980's. <br />On April 20, 1994, a letter was sent to Mr. Tatum stating that <br />Basin would lower the well pump.to below the water level at its <br />expense. Mr. Tatum's April 28, 1994. response stated that if the well <br />could be .restored; he would be .glad to discuss this with us. Shortly <br />thereafter, Mr. Tatum became ill and correspondence was interrupted <br />until a June 30 memo to Mr. Tatum stating Basin would either install a <br />new windmill. pump or repair the existing pump at our expense. (It was <br />also mentioned that the well contained 43 feet of water.) This <br />information was supplied .by Basin to the Division last February when <br />Greystone conducted the measuring. Mr. Tatum's July 5 response stated <br />that .if the well is not. damaged, this matter of the well will be put <br />to rest. <br />On July li, Mr. Tatum, Mr. Joe Dudash, and Mr. Ralph Lopez met at <br />the Tatum stockwater well to re-measure the water depth. With <br />everybody participating, and using a 300 foot water indicator meter, <br />the depth was measured at 43.5 feet. Mr. Tatum mentioned that he and <br />his ranch hand had measured the well that morning and had a dry well. <br />He then stated they had used string with a chain link for a weight as <br />a measuring device. He said that they could not get their string past <br />approximately 100 feet. The beeper on the water meter first indicated <br />water at 102 feet. The contention all ,along by Mr. Tatum that the <br />
