We had no problem with the testing or the sampling as was prepared by Key Ag. We have no <br />problem with WFC continuing their sampling and testing on the days scheduled. We do want to <br />be there and we do want to participate in this process. However there are some things that need <br />to be clarified. Mr. Kemper for WFC has submitted a letter indicating that if this sampling is delayed because of us filing an objection that people will lose their jobs, the mine will <br />be shut down j and there will be lay offs, all of the same tactics they used at the last formal <br />hearing. All of this information is pure fabrication of the truths again First off, WFC has just <br />done another lift on the Morgan property and they have not even finished their own property at <br />the other end of the pit. Second, a lot of the miners normally take vacations and personal days at <br />this time. Third, there is enough coal stock piled at Tri-State for at least a months worth of work <br />or longer already. Fourth, this is another attempt to sway decisions and has absolutely no truth to <br />it Now the facts, This is our lives, this is our property, and we have been out of production for <br />almost 10 years. Our jobs and our livelihoods have been detrimentally affected for that long <br />already. The law states that all property will be returned in a timely and reasonable length of <br />time. We had to shut our water off the Sunshine corner in 2002 and we signed the lease in 1998. <br />We have not lied production off of the Sunshine corner since that time. M1 properties were <br />returned to pr or for use East of 2700 Road on all other property owners within TWO <br />years after they mined it since 1994. ALL properties except ours as we were promised. Our <br />production affects many lives and many jobs and are just as valuable and important as any one of <br />their jobs. Even more so because we have no retirement except this place, we have no dental, no <br />medical, no income without this farm and they have taken it away from us and have violated <br />every rule and • regulation that is available pertaining to prime farmiands. And most of all, it was <br />not returned to us in a timely nor a reasonable time as not only the law states but as the promises <br />that were gua to us. We are going to protect this property as the law should have done <br />and it will be returned to us in AS Good as or better than it was, to the Depths, Quality, and <br />Quantity that existed prior to mining. <br />Unless PR-06 is removed as part of TR61, we will continue to object. We are not accepting any <br />portion of PR -06 and we will continue to fight forever. The law is the law and these rules and <br />regulations were i ncorporated into law for a reason. TR61 restates all of PR -06. This is both <br />unnecessary a inappropriate for what a Technical Revision is. WFC was instructed to do <br />testing and sampling and make an addition to PR-o6 which should have been TR61, but instead <br />they restated w ord for word all of PR -06 and this is unacceptable. Any major changes to a <br />landowners property must be approved by the LANDOWNER. WFC removed 196,000 toms of <br />our Barx soils and put it on the neighbors property. Now in PR -06 and the current TR61, WFC <br />wants to prove that we have enough soil to adequately reclaim all of the Morgan property with <br />the bare mixwnals. This is unacceptable. We are not going to allow WFC to take our soils from <br />our West half of our property and put those soils on the East half of our property to replace what <br />they have stolen. This is what TR61 says. We are not going to allow that. This property will be <br />put back acco to law to the depths, quality, and quantity that existed prior to mining and to <br />as good as or better. Adequate is not acceptable. Bring back our soils that were stolen and put <br />our place back like it was. We have an abundance of Barx soils and that is why the volumes are <br />so great and that is why they have enough soils just from our West half to do the entire property, <br />but they are nit going to Steal from Peter to Pay Paul as they always have. Our East half of our <br />property was the very best there was and the soils were rich and deep which are not available for <br />
