Chuck Roberts in our Denver office received your report <br />regarding the possible exposure of groundwater on September 22, 1998. We received <br />the report in our Pueblo office on August 2, 1999. <br />I work out of our Pueblo office, but I am the Groundwater Commissioner for Water <br />Districts 10, 11 and 13, which includes Chaffee County. I have visited this gravel pit and <br />I am convinced that the water in question is tail water nanoff from nearby irrigation. To <br />be more certain, we should monitor the water over a period of time. This will not be a <br />problem because my duties regularly take me to the area. <br />I rarely visit the site during the winter, but I will notify Bruce Smith, the resident Water <br />Commissioner. I am confident that he will confirm my assessment, but he will be able to <br />drive by a few times after the irrigation season is over. <br />If you have any questions, feel free to call me at the above number, extension 122. <br />Sincerely, <br />v~~ ~~ <br />Larry Hakes <br />Cc: Bruce Smith <br /> <br />
