DeJoia also stated that we had pinion and junipers prior to mining. All lies. WFC also testified that they only used the water truck twice a week. All lies. They do approximately 30 truck loads per day of "PIT WATER." A class 5 water. AND this "PIT WATER" has been used for 8 years. And this pit water was used continuously on the A lift and on the B lift on all the property being mined. When they stockpile the A lift or the B lift, they do it in stages. Layer after layer of which the water truck watered each layer being placed in the stockpiles controlling the dust being made. Also the explosives that they use also contain a salt compound because you can smell it after every blast. So, yes, all of our soils were contaminated with SALT in some form ALL of THE TIME FOR 8 YEARS. The other soli scientist from Illinois testified that it was GOOD to put all of these rocks back into the soils. This was actually better than what we had. It had no influence on productivity, All lies. Dunkert may know ILLINOIS country which the soils are very very deep but he knows nothing about what is critical here and neither did Dejoia. While your accepting EXPERTS, CSU has been the most valuable source of information for this area for all times. They are the ones we depend on and that NRCS depends on and that the USDA depends on for this area. DR. BORCH was our expert witness, a professor from CSU and also we had a former NRCS employee and expert included in his rebuttal which was submitted to you. Also the letter from NRCS, our local NRCS Jim Boyd and Dave Dearstyne, all of whom are non biased and not hired guns and also from STEVE PARKS who wrote that ALL of our soils should have been classified as BARX and not as WFC classified them as Darvey. Darvey, however is a PRIME soil in New Mexico and even though Jim Irvine classified them as Darvey, this is still a BARX type soils and still prime farmland. Again, this is all attempt to for WFC not to have to comply to the rules and regulations and not have to do their jobs. We are ALL baffled as to why the STATE would even consider this type of tactic. THE BOARD ORDERED THEM TO RESTORE THE ENTIRE MORGAN PROPERTY BACK TO PRIME FARMLAND, BOARD ORDERED! I would like a copy of THEIR APPEAL to change any portion of this Board order which had to be done immediately after the Boards decision. PLease send me a copy of that appeal. If they did not appeal this, then again, they are breaking the rules and not in compliance. On the first 51 acres, the soils had been disturbed, and given away. They also were not segregated and protected. NONE of the soils, including the Bench one material was segregated and protected. The mixed A and B lifts are no better than a "SUBSOIL ", since they were not segregated or protected. The 20,000 cubic yards that WFC admits to stealing, was "A' lift. our best prime soils with all the nutrients and every thing is what they took and put on other properties. But, this is only a portion of the 1 96,000 cubic yards that they continued to steal and put on Bud Bensons. Bud Bensons WEST which the Morgan also owned prior to Bud Benson had SLACK DUMPS and gravel. Now, as you can clearly see for yourselves, it is ALL topsoiled, DEEP TOPSOIL and is at least 27 feet higher than it was and documented by Marcia on your sight as being 35 feet higher, which we also have objected to and still objecting to and should never get bond release as it is. Dan Mathews wrote a letter to WFC asking them if this elevated property of Bensons had anything to do with our claims of the stolen soils. I never did see the answer to that. But, Lewicki documented that this elevation was due to "ALLOW FOR SETTLING ", amazing, they need 27 feet higher to allow for settling and they want 8!Page JoEllen Turner 970 - 864 -7682 p.8
