Quebec St. <br />Greenwood Village, CO 80111 <br />Re: Application to Use an Existing Well, Receipt #443954 <br />Dear Mr. Koblitz: <br />RECE! VED <br />JUL 2 71999 <br />Division otMinerals g ~~ <br />pF COQ <br />r~`YR <br />,p'ie' ,~ O <br />~+ <br />18]6 ~ <br />B~II Owens <br />Ga~ernor <br />Greg E. Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Mal D. Simpson, P.E. <br />State Engineer <br />As you are aware, the Board of Examiners of Water Well Construction and Pump Installation Contractors <br />ordered the abandonment of the existing well that was the subject of the above-referenced Water Well <br />Permit Application by Mel J. Martinez for exempt household, livestock, and home lawn and garden <br />irrigation uses (BOE File No. 99-BC-011). Pursuant to your telephone conversation today with Dave <br />McElhaney, staff to the Board of Examiners, the Division of Water Resources understands that the well <br />was constructed as a monitoring well to fulfill a requirement of a Division of Minerals and Geology mining <br />permit for the Chimney Rock Coal Mine -Kaiser Ventures site. Therefore, as an alternative to <br />abandoning the well and to comply with the mining permit, your client would like to permit the existing <br />structure as a monitoring well. <br />Preliminary review suggests that the structure's construction would be acceptable for monitoring <br />purposes only. I have transferred receipt number 443954 to the enclosed Monitoring/Observation Well <br />Permit Application. Please have your client complete the enclosed application and submit it to our office <br />for evaluation. Once the existing structure is permitted, the case will be presented to the Board of <br />Examiners for reconsideration of the abandonment order. <br />Please contact me at (303)866-3581, with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~, <br />Kathleen L. Sullivan <br />Water Resources Engineer <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Mel J. Martinez, Star Rte. 3, Box 52, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147 <br />Harry Ranney, CDMG (Chimney Rock Coal Mine -Kaiser Ventures) <br />Jack Byers, Assistant State Engineer <br />Division 7 <br />
