Mr. Carl Mount <br />Division of Mineral and Geology <br />State of Colorado <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 7? <br />Re: Mining operations in Weld County, Colorado <br />Section 36, T6, NR66, west of the 6th PM. <br />Dear Mr. Mount, <br />Rex J. Ortgiesen <br />731 North 28th Ave <br />Greeley, Co. 80631 <br />(303) 356 -8988 <br />July 1, 1994 <br />The people in this area are concerned about losing their <br />only source of potable water due to mining operations. When <br />my family moved here, the static water level in our well was <br />thirteen feet. Over the years it has become progressively <br />lower and is now twenty -five feet. <br />The mining operations in this area have become more and <br />more aggressive. Western Mobile - Northern, Inc. who leases <br />land from Flatiron, is making prepartions to mine the land <br />adjacent to several neighbors' property line and in close <br />proximity to their potable water wells. (Please note the <br />enclosed aerial view of section 36). <br />What can be done to protect our only source of potable <br />water? One of the neighbors, Mr Don Kinzer, 719 North 28th <br />Avenue, Greeley, Colorado, 80 0 35 3 -8144, may have <br />already lost one well. He is not getting any water from it <br />at this time. <br />Enclosure: Aerial View. Respectfully, <br />Rex J. Ortgiesen <br />
