JoEllen Turner <br />dust control each year from 2003 -2008 on these properties West of 2700 road. 38 acre feet used <br />for dust control. If you even take HALF of that just strictly our property which it's well over <br />half, that would be approximately 1.6 feet of water across our ENTIRE MINED PROPERTY, <br />(Morgans) STOCKPILES AND ALL. AND, the IMPOSSIBLE millions of gallons that would <br />be used each year, his estimations aren't even close to the actual gallons that this amounts to that <br />v,ras used on our property for dust control. I'm sorry, I'm just a farmer and an EXPERT such as <br />Mr. DeJoia should have been able to figure this one by himself without the help of a little of <br />farmer. <br />Mr. Dejoia states that they had none of these water samples. Again, untrue, they had been taking <br />them all along. Kelly Morgan from the Department of Health also told us that WFC's permit did <br />allow for dilution to get the water to pass. The problem here is that THE PIT WATER USED <br />ON THE MORGAN PROPERTY WAS STRAIGHT PIT WATER AND WAS NEVER AND I <br />MEAN NEVER DILUTED. Mr. DeJoia also would know this if he had checked his OWN <br />resources and if he REALLY HAD WANTED TO PROVIDE ACCURATE AND CORRECT <br />INFORMATION. But, this information was already submitted and pictures to discovery, so this <br />was something that WFC knew for fact and Dejoia also knew and failed to tell you all. He also <br />should be well aware of the fact that they are seeking other sources of water other than pit water <br />for dust control. The problem here is FIRST FILL is pit water. He also is very aware that the <br />salinity or conductivity of this pit water is 10 and 15 times higher in all conductivity and the total <br />TDS than the San Miguel River, which is our irrigation. He should also have been told that Tom <br />Fry jumped our fence where the pivot is on our property and took his WATER SAMPLES to <br />send in for Calamity on our place for a VERY DILUTED sample. This way they could show <br />water with low values so they could pass their test. I also sent these water samples to OTHER <br />labs and guess what, the same results. That if drank, it could kill you. Not fit for livestock, <br />domestic, or irrigation, or for any purpose. This is also DOCUMENTED almost word for word <br />by the State and by WFC in past permits. <br />WFC also submitted into discovery that this pit water contains arsenic, alkaline, high salt, iron, <br />mercury and the list goes on and on. This is their own documents. <br />So, this only allows us to form one conclusion, Mr. DeJoia is bought and paid for. He has no <br />desire nor any goals to protect and preserve prime farmland and there is a rule that covers <br />everything that WFC and Mr. DeJoia is doing. 1.04 a willful violation and willfully. And 1.04 <br />Knowingly and 1.04 Unwarranted failure to comply. Indifference and the lack of diligence. <br />And lastly the failure to comply with a direct Board Order. I am objecting to Pr -07, Permit <br />renewal number 6 and Bond release on the properties I have stated in prior letters, and requesting <br />an informal hearing on all, if proceedings for Pr - 07 continue. <br />JoEllen turner <br />per,) ( %‘.M ,I4 <br />' Y 1- \ <br />970 - 864 -7682 p.4 <br />
