This well was decreed as an <br />e empt,well''on February 17, 2006, by Water Judge Roger Klein. My client advised me that his water <br />table level at that time was approximately 14 feet below ground level. In 2004-2005, he was approached <br />by Varra Companies, Inc. to ask permission to install a well 'for its concrete operations and because its <br />sand and gravel operation was within 600 feet of his exempt well. My client had no problem utilizing <br />his well until two years ago. Two year ago, he was able to obtain water from his well on two occasions. <br />During 2010, he was not able to get any water from his well. <br />I am making this request on behalf of Rich Huff, whose address is 1511 E. 100 Street, Greeley, <br />Colorado 80631, (970) 381-0469 (cell), for you to contact him in the near future to determine whether <br />a groundwater monitoring site was put in place in these pits of Varra Companies, to determine if it has <br />collected data to ensure that nearby wells are not injured, and to review their de-watering process. My <br />___client would like this situation remedied prior to the irrigation season in 2011, which is fast approaching. <br />Please confirm receipt of this letter and to advise me when you will be in contact with my client. I am <br />hoping that he receives some kind of communication from you within the next 15 days. <br />Thank you for your immediate attention to this concern. <br />I - ?JA' ? ? <br />Ps,? .aim'
