5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />basement while I made phone calls to Tri County Health <br />Department, Colorado Division of Water Resources, Central <br />Colorado Water Conservancy District, and Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation Mining & Safety. The Central Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District granted me permission to pump my irrigation <br />wells to ditch flowing back to the South Platte River in attempt to <br />reduce ground water static levels. Turned on 2 irrigation well @ <br />approximately 100 gpm each. Now we are pumping approximately <br />250 gpm total to ditch. We had timed the recovery rate of the sump <br />pit, before water flowed over top of floor to be 42 seconds before <br />irrigations were turned on and 4 minutes after turning on irrigation <br />wells. Thus giving us 4 total minutes to act in event of lost electricity <br />or pump failure before water starts overflowing basement floor. 3 <br />man crew (8:00am - 7:30pm - Scott,.Brent & Kirk). <br />Tuesday March 24, 2009, Continue pumping, monitoring, and <br />excavating sump pit for pit basin install. <br />Note: Furnace fan runs but no heat. Using oven & fan to stay warm. <br />Have a call into furnace repair people. Haven't heard back yet. Will <br />continue to pump approximately 250 gpm into ditch until water <br />levels subside or building floats away. <br />After further investigation, I believe that the ground water is being <br />backed up due to inappropriate materials used in backfill of a gravel <br />pit located at 12021 Old Brighton Road. Said pit has been operated <br />by Asphalt Specialties Company under permit #M-83-176 and <br />named Speer Mining Resource Pit. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter !!! <br />Sincerely, <br />Kirk Kirby
