Evidence of this is <br />still visible in the three (3) instances. <br />Mine employees came on to our property to close an old air shaft. <br />We certainly could have been advised even if it were done after the <br />fact. <br />The fence that was torn down is not on a county road, it was on the <br />mine property as per agreement between past property owners. They <br />felt it necessary to move the fence, had the line surveyed and moved <br />the existing fence. After several months with the fence down, we had <br />to demand that they put it back, they did finally. The fence that was <br />put up originally was done with metal posts, the mine replaced the fence <br />with cedar posts, we assumed that the metal post would be given back to <br />us as they belonged to us, but they were not. <br />The irrigation ditch referred to is located on property that the mine <br />purchased from a private party. They cut a road into the property, <br />to core drill and in the process filled in our irrigation ditch with <br />brush and rocks, making it impossible to run water. <br />None of the above had anything to do with the upgrading of the county <br />road located below our property. When the county, just recently, started <br />to upgrade the road in front of our property, they came to us prior to <br />moving any fences and requested permission to do all that involved our <br />property. <br />We have no desire in any way to have the mine cited or fined, we just <br />want to see the private property owner get consideration when it comes <br />to the mining process throughout our valley. <br />Sincerely, <br />
