(32) I am reque g that Dave Dearstyne also be at this meeting. It is docum ented in PR-06 that <br />this rocky Benc one material is equal -to or better than what we had and that . Dearstyne has <br />approved of this I spoke with Mr. Dearstyne, personally and he said that the BARX soils cannot <br />be duplicated, of be duplicated. These soils are prune for a reason. have the very best <br />physical and ch cal characteristics and that is why they are prime. He sal that it is possible to <br />create a suitable bsoil or make other soils prime over the years, but you not get equal to or <br />better than what had, The BARX soils in it's natural existence. This Ben h one material that <br />they have RAIS the salt content, RAISED the PH, Raised the rock fiagm is is not as good as <br />or better. Our B soils were down up to 72 inches deep and this Bench o material is not <br />going to replace that <br />(33) Also, in thi letter, Western Fuels GUARANTEED that we would have PERM*Revision <br />within 3045 dia-d a addressing all of our prime farmland and it's reclamation. I called Marcia <br />every week as " g for this Revision. She said, "They are working on it." Sh gave them <br />extension, after tension, after extension, after extension, after extension, d never once told us <br />when we called she had approved all of these extensions and then after a year, we were <br />SLAMMED wi them telling us that they were going to put our property an others into <br />DRYLAND. is and the State withheld all of this from us. This was the Beginning of PR- <br />06 and this was prime example of the STATE working hand and hand with Western Fuels to <br />Ruin us and cam v more irreparable damages until I started fighting back and finally got Mr. <br />Berry. I have h s of letters written to Marcia and Sandy and documen faxes and the <br />Governor, and USDA, and NRCS, and the newspaper,.and finally after ding a public <br />hearing which just to pacify us and nothing we said was enforced or u in our favor to help <br />us until I got Mr. Berry. <br />(34) The Walsh gineers do not understand either. They used ornamental p is for examples. <br />We do not raise o rnamental plants, we are real people with real crops. In the' footnotes, they <br />state that a highe salt content may not be good for some crops that we intend to grow. Alfalfa <br />roots may go do 20 feet as is documented in PR-06. They found our alfal mots down 20 or <br />better feet. Also orn is a deep rooted plant We have had roots from corn wn 12 feet. Most <br />are around 6 feet but we have found them deeper. W. Dearstyne states that t elevation <br />probably will no affect shallow rooted plats, but could affect deep rooted one . Another reason <br />WHY we need to be at that meeting that they would not allow us t0 attend. Again, fighting for <br />the mine instead f the landowner and our rights. <br />(35) Pr-W is ost All mine oriented. Enclosed are pictures and more do entation. The <br />mine took very ce pictures of all of our harvesting, but there has not been o e presented to the <br />State to show yo what we had before they mined. Instead they take Winter ictures or late fall <br />or early spring w ' e the ground is horrible and try and tell you guys that this s our place, <br />undeveloped ajait, ' documented. They make us dry our places up two years in idvance so that <br />when you look they say see, no crops, very little management, no water, whatelse has <br />been documenin PR-06 and instead of you checking it out, you approve o everything they <br />say. Mr. nnat the beginning is the one whoreally fought for us and kn what was right, <br />where is he nonow. <br />G 02ed GSTZ-S98-0G6 aejgjl RiTunwwo0 eiTjn4ew WdST :t? OTOZ TO %00
