All of the bore holes and test pits were taken to a depth where <br />we found the underlying shale layer. The excavation plan does not show any <br />excavation deeper than any of the bore holes or test pits. In all of the bore holes and <br />test pits, we did not encounter any ground water. <br />2. We have attached a drawing of the location of an existing artesian well. City records <br />indicate that this well has been in existence since before 1911. We can find no <br />record of any well permit or water right associated with this well. The existing well is <br />located in an area that is approximately 40 feet east of the planned excavation. <br />Neither the well nor the small drainage channel that the well drains into will be <br />disturbed by the planned excavation. The plans clearly show that the drainage area is <br />to be protected. The existing well was measured by the City in 1982 and found to be <br />575 feet deep. <br />3. Water for dust wntrol will be furnished by the City of Grand Junction via a metered tap <br />on the City's potable water system. <br />Please let me know if you need any additional information. <br />Sincerely, G~k~^^'c' <br />m s .Shanks, PE, PLS <br />2529 HIGH COUNTRY COURT, GRAND JUNCTION, CO 81501 P[970] 256 4177 F[970] 256 4014 riversideokwv(ileicitv.ore <br />
