MAY-01-2008 03:07 PM <br />Point 3 - Heavy usage of Highway 394 <br />Response: Traffic studies will be conducted prior to approval. <br />Point 4 - Water wells in the area losing water, <br />Response: When applying for a well permit with the State Engineers Office, you must <br />first do the research to determine if there are any wells within 600' of the proposed pit. If <br />there are not, the State Engineer does not seem to have concerns about dewatering of the <br />pit having any adverse effect on wells. So, the idea that wells that are 1500+ feet away <br />seem to be unfounded. <br />Steve Baker of 3B Enterprises has been in the gravel business for 9 years and owns a wet <br />pit in Craig, CO. He states that in his experience he has had when he pumps a pit down <br />10-15 feet, it only affects adjacent pits (50' -100') but not more than a few. <br />Point 5 - Concerns about the Deep Cut Ditch <br />Response: Water from the pit will not be entering the Ditch, so pollution from the pit is <br />not possible. Water that flows down the Ditch will not be affected because the bore holes <br />drilled in the area reveal a 8'-9' impermeable clay deposit that lies under the Ditch which <br />is approximately 4' deep. See Exhibit "A" and "B". <br />Thank you for the opportunity to address these concerns. We await your reply. <br />Sin ely, <br />Larry L.
