the slurry wall installation and photos from 2009 (Exhibit C) showing our property underwater. The fact is that <br />until the slurry wall was installed, the ground water table (from the monitoring data submitted with Annual <br />Reports to the D.R.M.S.) went from being 7.50 feet deep in 2005 to flooding our property in 2007. <br />In April of 2011, we provided Mr. Refer with a copy of the Environment, Inc. report. We had a meeting <br />with Mr. Refer on July 7, 2011 to discuss the report and its findings. He continues to maintain that the flooding <br />of our property is the fault of the LaFarge /City of Denver's activities and not the responsibility of Aggregate <br />Industries, Inc. <br />This property used to be a dry usable property. It now has anywhere from 6 inches to 2 feet of standing <br />water on it surface. There is now wetland vegetation where it never existed prior to the mining activities. Our <br />property has become absolutely worthless due to this ground water contamination. The only activity that could <br />have caused this, is the mining activities that you regulate. <br />We are requesting that an investigation by the State of Colorado's Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety be conducted and require that Aggregate Industries, Inc. resolve the negative impacts their mines have <br />had and is having on our property to the prevailing hydraulic balance as required by CRS 34- 32.5- 116(4)(h). <br />Please feel free to call me at the above office number (303) 295 -1216 ext 113 or my cell phone at <br />(303)918 -1215. Steve O'Brian of Environment, Inc. (303) 423 -7297 can also answer any questions you may <br />have. <br />Enclosures <br />cc: Environment, Inc., Steve O'Brian <br />Aggregate Industries, Mike Refer <br />file <br />(2) <br />
