Hernandez <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />State of Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 8020.3 <br />RE: Basin Resources, Golden Eagle Mine <br />Mr. Hernandez: <br />Division or Minerals 8 Geology <br />As you know, we are very unhappy about some of the things that have <br />come to light about our complaints about subsidence and a water well. <br />1. It appears that the report you furnisl <br />indicates that the underground mining that <br />never got closer than 600 to 700 feet. We <br />distance was considerably less than the <br />Surface Mining. Why was not the fact of <br />Surface Mining. <br />red Surface Mining <br />approached our house <br />now know that this <br />distance reported to <br />the matter related to <br />2. It is now undisputed, and a matter of testimony being given <br />under oath, that the airshaft bore-hole was improperly cased and <br />that the water running out the bottom of the bore-hole exceeds 20 <br />gallons per minute. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that <br />a 12 to 14 foot bore-hole leaking 20 gallons a minute could <br />certainly damage a 4 inch bore-hole a few yards distant. How does <br />it happen that your agency never advised us of the faulty casing <br />job, and the big water leak when we were complaining about our <br />water level being down below the pump level in our well? <br />3. Our home, it appears that you want to try to place the blame <br />on the structural shifts and cracking anywhere but on mine-caused <br />subsidence. Please respond to my inquiry promptly - if you choose <br />not to do so, I will issue a subpoena and question you under oath. <br />a. Please state if you claim to have seen a leak anywhere in <br />the boiler or heating system piping. If so, state where you claim <br />to have seen such a thing as all of the pi.pi_ng is capable of being <br />visually inspected so evidence of a leak is observable. <br />
