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 .'~1 <br />by the emissions (whatever they are) are as healthy as non-affected trees' <br />2. I note with interest your assertion that methane s:ould not settle <br />into a val.tey. There are some dead and injured people in and arounu w o <br />rIempstead - Brenham, Texas, that really doubt that gases that are ~ a <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 />Purgatorie Valley in an area affected by this shaft and blower are not in /*55'.5 <br />:ny danger whatsoever of explosion~ ~~,,nnd,or fire undr~r any climatic ~~-~» <br />conditions' ~-~--~ o-kf°`~° 7 '~ r~--^~ - n,',,+~+ <br />4.
