cubic yards of prime soils were removed from this property as did NRCS and OSM and <br />they would have recognized the shortage of the A and B lifts that are no longer on this <br />property. Maybe they can explain why there is approximately 700,000 cubic yards on <br />the second half of our property and only 139,000 cubic yards on the first half of our <br />property and we had deep pockets of topsoil Barx over 15 foot deep and what happen <br />to those. I know, they just vaporized. Maybe they can explain why they document that <br />Buds mountain is 35 feet higher "to allow for settling." Maybe they can explain from the <br />beginning why after removing Barx soils from the Sleets property and hauling it to the <br />Power Plant for FILL Dirt that, why they have ALWAYS robbed from Peter to pay Paul <br />and now that they have stole this soil from us, 196,000 cubic yards, why they are not <br />robbing from THEIR ownto fix what they have stolen from us. They always have these <br />on the side deals with Bud Benson, guaranteeing this and that if he'll cooperate and <br />they took our soils to fix his property, prime farmland soils to fix NON - PRIMEFARM <br />LAND fields and now want to rob again form our WEST half to fix our EAST half which <br />they stole. Amazing. I would request again that everyone read DR. BORCH rebuttal <br />letter and his findings as well as his knowledge of these illegal happenings and also Dr. <br />Cipra who was the NRCS specialist and Steve Parks who also stated all of our property <br />was prime farmland and should have had a BARX designation. Also the JUDGE told <br />WFC that this Jim Irvine was a Soil Scientist that was HIRED by WFC and if there was <br />any question on his soil survey, that it was THEIR responsibility and THEY should have <br />CONSULTED NRCS and therefore they broke the rules governing prime farmland and <br />THEY ALSO BREACHED THE MORGAN LEASE. So, we are going to fight PR -07 tooth <br />and nail and the STATE and OSM should step up and put and end to all of this <br />FABRICATED HIRED GUN material. <br />The average depth of the TOPSOIL and SUBSOIL on this property was 53 plus inches. <br />We can also add and subtract and so can NRCS. AND this was in FROZEN GROUND. <br />Dejoia wasn't here and his so called facts are based on ASSUMPTIONS which he <br />doesn't even know what he is talking about. AND Dunker also is an Illinois soils scientist <br />and NEITHER was he here prior to mining. These farmers and ranchers here have <br />signed and which were sent many signatures verifying that the Sunshine Corner was <br />one of the most beautiful places here and of these farmers, the Weimers which have <br />been used in EVERY permit that WFC has done tells you of the ENTIRE FIELDS that <br />were prime ALFALFA that they bought. <br />Dejoia nor Dunker can make a MORE accurate map of these soils when NONE of them <br />were there and NONE of them seen these soils or the CONSISTENCY of these soils <br />prior to mining. The soils aren't even here anymore and l didn't see them go across the <br />road or street. After correspondence with NRCS about this, NO government agency nor <br />any individual scientist can change a prime farmland determination that was MADE by <br />NRCS especially when NRCS was only here for ONE ONE DAY. and this man even <br />then stated that ALL of our soils was a BARX 2E classification and TYPICAL of our <br />entire property based on what he observed. Now, he was never given the FACTS as I <br />asked Mr. Berry if he was. He said he was never told that approximately 196,000 cubic <br />yards was stolen. He said that he was never told that more than the 22 inch mixed lift <br />was ever available. Infact, he was told that was ALL WFC salvaged was the 22 inch <br />mixed lift pile. Again, he was never given ALL the facts and Dejoia nor Dunker can <br />make a logical determination without ALL the facts and when I say ALL the facts, we <br />331 Page <br />JoEllen Turner <br />970 - 864 -7682 p.2 <br />
