<br /> <br />July 16, 2001 <br />HAS <br /> <br />~ar~ <br />Mined Land Reclamation Boazd RECEIVED <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Attn: Mr. Tony Waldron JUL 10 2001 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 Division of Minerals and Geology <br />RE: CDMG Regulaz (112) Operation Reclamation.Permit Application M2001-046 <br />Owens Brothers Concrete Company Nix Property Sand & Gravel Mine <br />Dear Mined Land Reclamation Board: <br />I am writing to express my concern regarding the above referenced gravel mine. Due to <br />the close proximity of this mine to my farm, I will be affected and aggrieved by the <br />Board's action if it approves this application as it is currently written. My specific <br />concerns about this application follow. <br />WATER RIGHTS ISSUES. There is a great likelihood that the following water rights <br />on my farm will be negatively impacted by the proposed gravel mine: <br />A. Domestic Well. I have a domestic well Located 615' south ofthe north section <br />line of my farm (this section line adjoins the Owens/Nix property). This well is decreed <br />in Water Court as Case Number W-3431. I want to protect this important water right, <br />B. Irrigation Well. My irrigation well has Permit #11262F and was decreed in <br />Water Court as Case Number W-3431 on Apri19, 1967. This well is located 1565' south <br />of the north section line of my farm. This well is adjudicated to irrigate 80 out of my 160 <br />acres and plays a vital role in the productivity of my farm. <br />C. Parker Spring Well. The Pazker Spring Well was adjudicated in Water Court as <br />Case #82CW251 on November 24, 1982. This well is located approximately 1800' south <br />of the north section line. The Pazker Spring Well is a natural spring which was flowing <br />on this farm when the first homesteaders arrived in this azea over 100 years ago, long <br />before any irrigation began here. This spring is a unique, invaluable, irreplaceable <br />feature of this farm which lends great interest and beauty to the land. This spring well is <br />adjudicated for stock watering which, according to the Water Referee, also includes <br />wildlife watering. Because the spring water never freezes, this spring well provides an <br />essential and precious year-round water supply for both livestock and wildlife. <br />8234 WCR 28 • Platteville, CO 80651 • P/F 970-785-6034 • cparker@sagehillfarm.com <br />
