I really appreciate <br />knowing that you are following up on it. <br />I also am glad to know that you have other staff people who have expertise in this <br />area. <br />Since a metallurgist told me that arsenic and selenium also occur with manganese <br />in coal we do need them to be tested for in the next water tests by EF for the <br />Southfield mine. <br />Kent Gorham had said that coal does not have problem pollutants the <br />last time he met with Ted, Paula and me at the mine for an inspection. <br />Manganese is a heavy metal and has severe health problems such as <br />neurobehavioral problems in children and Parkinson's type symptoms <br />in the elderly. <br />The good news in that the house at the fork does not look inhabited. I planned to <br />ask them to have the well tested and to drink bottled water. Mrs Thompson's well <br />is reported abandoned on the map. The new house up the hill in the Newlin Creek <br />Subdivision is a potential well to be tested. At 350 feet it could have been <br />impacted by the mine. <br />
