We believe that as a direct result of mining operations and slurry walls at the stagecoach pit, Brannon pit <br />and dewatering operations by the 120th water group have caused restriction to the natural ground water flow to the <br />Platte River. <br />Zigan Lake levels and ground water have risen to levels that pose a sever risk of damage to homes and property for the <br />last 4 years. <br />3 years of talks and meetings with LaFarge, 120th water group and multiple agencies have yet to result in remediation. <br />As of today, lake level and ground water level is at a historical high. <br />The home of Connie an Vince Belusack @ 10757 E 124th Ave. has considerable moisture in their crawl space. The ground <br />water level is currently only 12" below the surface. The risk of major mold problems is present, as well as the potential <br />of them having to abandon their home. <br />Our latest course of action is to work with Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety in the hopes that they may foster <br />and enforce a viable remediation plan. <br />Zigan Homeowners Association would like to ask that the commissioners include language in their decision, requiring <br />Albert Frei & Sons and any successors to actively participate in developing a solution to the ground water problem in this <br />area and mandate that they expediently comply with any remediation orders that may be issued by the State <br />Department of Natural Resources. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steven M.

It is located 750' east of Brighton road. Soil sample testing <br />at that time showed the ground water table to be approx 36" below the base of the foundation footers. Today <br />ground water level is approx. 17" above the base of the foundation footers. I am concerned about the effect of <br />water on my homes foundation. I have suffered erosion of my beach and water damage to my boat dock.
