Additional Comments on down-stream <br />Surface b Alluvial groundwater monitoring <br />In the summer of 1980, at the time when Sunland <br />installed its existing up-stream Trout Creek monitoring <br />site and alluvial test well, we were pr paired to install <br />a similar site immediately down-stream fr ur permit <br />area. We had, at that time (and still have, in fact) all <br />necessary equipment and supplies for the down-stream station. <br />This includes: the Stevens recorder, the stilling well, the <br />transfer pipe, etc. Furthermore, the well driller was on <br />site and prepaired to drill the downstream alluvial well <br />immediately after completing the up-stream one. <br />Unfortunately, a situation developed whereby the adjacent <br />landowner voiced strenuous objection to our installing <br />the down-stream station. His objection was equally vehement <br />on each of two sites open to the down-stream station: one on <br />surface owned by D.R.Canning, and the other on surface owned <br />by Knott Land b Livestock and leased by Sunland Mining Corp. <br />In both cases, his point of contention was his alledged <br />ownership, ostensibly by virtue of adverse possession, of <br />the site area and/or access to the site area. <br />We therefore chose (specifically without prejudice of <br />our ownership rights in the disputed area) to not install <br />the facility but rather to use P6M's station as originally <br />stated in our permit application. <br /> <br />~/~~8~ <br />(.,5,2 <br />
