FARMER in that country and ask them what is wrong with the way PR-06 is written. Not a farmer we know, a farmer from your area and ask there what is wrong with it. We have said over and over Ishare will. do and has done 2 acres all of our lives as well as the famers in this area. If you will read the lease agreement on. the water signed by Western Fuels, if is 60 shares according to MORGANS calculations and how MORGANS irrigate. The water is not a problem and has never been a problem. All of them made it a problem, along with DRMS. Have any one of you actually read the Rules and regulations and know why they were written to cover the entire state of Colorado and what they realty say? They were not written for Nucla, Colorado, they were written for the entire state and that is why they were written the way they were, Prime farmland criteria has been distorted as well as the National Soil Survey Handbook. The reason it is so easy for us to see and understand is because we are farmers and have been our entire lives. Greg Lewicki states that we asked a ridiculous request in our settlement offer. Has anyone in your office or in their office priced BARX/DARVEY Prime farmland soils in. that quantity and got a figure with hauling and without hauling. First Prime f inland soils in that quantity are not available any where in this area and Barx/Darvey is one of the very best prime soils and cannot even be found anywhere to evert begin to replace what they have stolen. We have called and consulted all over the country. We also know that what most places call top soil, is just soil that has been sifted through a fine screen to remove rocks, but does not qualify for prune and the quantity is still not there. So, before anyone makes a statement like that, you can see for yourself that prime Barx/Darvey topsoil costs more than what the coal cost and is as valuable to the farmer as coal is for an energy source. And Greg Lewicki failed to mention that even though the people get royalties off the coal, the coal is not then free and in fact is much more than what they paid for, it. This man thinks that this thine came in and helped all of us poor farmers when in fact because of the time frame that has been spent on our place has costs us much more than what the coal is worth and if we had to do it all over again and know what we know, it would. not be done. Mr. Berry, you gave me your word that you would help straighten, all of this out if we would do our part and put down how we wanted it and what it should be. Greg Lewicki needs to understand that we had Prime Farmland, all in crops, and full production before the mine entered this and that we were the largest producers of crops in this entire area making a substantial living. Largest shareholder of water. We have farmed our entire lives and we are not new at this game and pretending to know something about farming as they do. The Rules and Regulations governing surface coal mining is very specific about the rights of the landowners and the protection, of the landowners to the fullest extent of the law from the adverse effects of mining, All reclamation must conform to the landowner plazas as well as written consent from the landowner for any changes that may affect his property. Everyone here cannot keep stealing from. Peter to pay Paul. We are Peter and I have sent you pictures of how deep our A lift, B Lift and C lift are and we want all. of our topsoil put hack -And, since they stole 51 acres, as I stated before, someone needs to make compensatioio for our soils that were taken from us before we can proceed with a plan. to reclaim and redistribute the topsoil. Western Fuels admits to taking this soil in PR-06 and they need to compensate the Morgans for this theft and no more theft is going to occur on this property. Evert though, they agreed to you and in all. documentation that no more
