9/9/13 State.co.us Executive Branch Mail - Fwd: Well and water issues at Southfield mine <br />Pueblo. Check the Colorado Division of Water Resources to see how it is done or call them. <br />Other than Dr Corley, you are the only permitted well in the area in close to the mine. <br />The only well that has been consistently tested for the last 30 years when EFCI started mining is Well 23- the <br />upslope monitoring well which is at 140 -150 feet and not in the ground water which the regs say it should be. It is <br />in one of the only areas that has not been undermined on our property and 650 feet from the Zenith mine (an old <br />mine that is on Dr Corley's property. They just tested it and the inspector from the DRMS was on site with <br />George Patterson EFCI employee. Since 2012 there has not been manganese in the well water. When the <br />mining company started mining at Southfield (we did not have a contract with EFCI to mine on our property)there <br />was high in manganese and iron, but in the 90's and later these metals were not there. So the water seemed to <br />clean up. <br />Thank you for filing an objection with the DRMS so they address it. Do you have a technical or scientific <br />background? <br />There are mitigation things that can be done, but you should not have to do them if you had a clean well before. <br />One is a reverse osmosis system that Dr Corley has at this house at the Corley. The other good source is the <br />North Dakota Extension at http://www.ag.ndsu edu /pubs /qual /watsys /ael03Ow.htm. They have several methods. <br />Also George states that the water flows Northwest. Which some does. But this year, the water in Newlin Creek <br />below you that I saw on May 15th was not from Newlin Creel because there wasn't any flow which is measured <br />above at the Florence Mountain Park where the City of Florence takes out their water for the water line in the <br />middle of CR 15 over to their water tank. The water was not coming from Magpie Creek either because it did not <br />have any flow. It was underground water which does not flow Northwest or a spring. Are you aware of a spring? <br />will drop by this information and 2012 water test results for MW 23 on Wednesday. Will you be home around <br />9:30. <br />Linea <br />Linda Saunders <br />https: / /mail.g oog le.conVmai I /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i Ire29129fcb5 &view= pt &search =i nbox&th= 1410336b2a8l5l99 2/2 <br />
