SE'VT 6Y~ 3 -90 ;11~12PM 0 S~ 303 832 8106;# 3/ 8 <br />III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />999 <br />February 16, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />No subsidence monitors were in place which would <br />confirm or deny the possibility of subsidence due to <br />mining; <br />Cracks were not apparent in my home until late 1992 or <br />early 1992; <br />Jim Pendleton, DMG, gave the "green light" to Baoin <br />several years ago to mine under my property - to cave <br />Lnce he must cover his position. I reeueeted his study <br />protocol ;ast •deax and was advised today that he has <br />prepared his report and is now preparing his study <br />protocol, n bnckwards approach to the issue. i was <br />also advised today by DMG, that Pendleton doesn't use a <br />study protocol, he has his information in hie head and <br />doesn't use such Broeedures: <br />The present investigation is relying on the information <br />provided by Basin with regard to the depth of the mine, <br />the distance, etc. No independent investigation has <br />been done to confirm this information: <br />The mine clocad brcnu~e of flooding, soft floor, eto. <br />as testified to by Ron Thompson, Basin's engineer. <br />Subsidence HAS occurred with room and pillar mining in <br />Lee Animas County. <br />Please explain why the mina only extracted 30 plus ~ <br />from the First North mine when their permit allows for 504 <br />ontractian? would seem to roe like a lot of work with little <br />production. How do we oonfirm this extraction rate??? <br />Has OSM researched all maps and aerial photographs <br />taken of my home site and confirmed the actual distances <br />involved???7 <br />As I mentioned to you, weather permitting we are <br />planning on pulling the water well March 1, 1995. We will <br />arrive at the ranch on February Zath and will be in Court <br />the 27th end 28th. Please hnvs Steve Paraone confirm this <br />date wltl~ me prior tv cur departurs Por Colorado on February <br />22nd. <br />I should have a structural report from our structural <br />engineer by the first of March, I will provide you with a <br />copy upon my receipt of same. <br />-9:Nv <br />
