Dudash <br />1313 Sherman, Room 2'_5 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: Wyoming Fuel Company, Golden Eagle Mine, Permit No. C-81-013 <br />Mr. Dudash: <br />I am in possession of the reply you sent to the Las Animas County <br />Planning and Land Use office. I am the surface owner of the property <br />where this shaft and fan were constructed and I have the following <br />problems with this situation. <br />1. Are you stating that the trees that are being directly impacted <br />by the emissions (whatever they are) are as healthy as non-affected trees? <br />2. I note with interest your assertion that methane would not settle <br />into a valley. There are some dead and injured people in and around <br />ilempstead - Brenham, Texas, that really doubt that gases that are <br />supposedly lighter than air can not be concentrated on the ground under <br />certain conditions. <br />3. Is it the position of your agency that the citizens living in the <br />?urgatorie Valley in an area affected by this shaft and blower are not in <br />-:ny danger whatsoever of explosion and, or fire under any climatic <br />conditions' <br />4. I have a water well many years old that now appears to be dry <br />since the drilling and establishment of the air shaft within about ?.00 <br />Yards. <br />5. Was not an explosion and fire experienr_ed in this mine near this '~ <br />,haft a ..>hort time ago that injured _everal men and was the .M.irie cited for <br />.:'angerous acts or omissions in connection with this incident? <br />,ip~~ ~i~,l~l <br />
