Hernandez <br />Dlvlsion of M~nerats 8 Geology <br />As you know, we are very unhappy about some of the things that have <br />come to light about Dur~_complaints about subsidence and a water well. <br />1. It appears that the report you furni.sl <br />indicates that the underground milting 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 />led 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 />_ ... <br />it. happen that your agency never_.advised_lis 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. Pleas.e....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 ko 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 piping is capable of being <br />~- visually inspected so evidence_..of;.~i._leak.~is-::observable. -- <br />
