FILE No.912 O1i13 '99 PM 12:36 ID:PILOT OFFICE SUPPLY INC FraX:970 879 1599 PRGE <br />that is less than three years from now. Exhibit D states mining will continue <br />for a period of 5 years. Map 3 indicates mining will continue through 2011, <br />that is 1.3 years. How long will they be mining for? <br />(4) We still remain concerned about our well water quality and quantity. We <br />realize the Division will require the development of a monitoring well, <br />which should help determine whether our water quality/quantity is being <br />affected. The applicant's consultant states that "91% of the mine area can be <br />concluded not to be hydrologically connected to the zone of saturation of the <br />Anderson well". Keeping this in mind, there is a one in ten chance that our <br />water will be affected. We want to know what the plan is if this does occur. <br />Yes, there will be testing done as indicated by R.outt County. But if there is <br />a problem and a new well needs to be drilled, whet do we do in the. mean <br />time? This question remains unanswered. If this is an "old. issue" as <br />described by the applicant's consultant then why haven't we been given an <br />answer? We certainly hope that the response to our concern and again we <br />quote, "they (Water Engineer in SS) would not waste their time <br />responding... to such a ridiculous issue," is not adequate in the eyes of the <br />Board. We have searched on page 16 of the 112 Reclamation Permit <br />Application for the answer, but somehow our concern got "lost" in the <br />consultant's attempt to once again avoid the issue. We just want an answer <br />to our question. <br />(5) Routt County Regional Planning Dept. is now concerned that conditions <br />of this application may contradict the conditions set forth by the County as <br />described in the letter dated Dec.4, 1998 from Caryn Fox, Assistant Planning <br />Director. <br />Although the criteria involved with this application seems to fall within the <br />guidelines put forth by the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology, do <br />you honestly and in good faith believe that this application is worthy of <br />approval with a family with three small children living right next door AND <br />with all 5 of these issues unresolved? <br />Sincerely, <br />~iane E. and Thane R.
