McArdle Mined Land Reclamation 723 Centennial Building 1313 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203 Dear Mr. McArdle: MINED LAND RECLAMATION Colo. Dept. of Natural Resources This letter is in reply to a letter dated February 21, 1980 as sub- mitted by The New Cache La Poudre Irrigating Company and The Cache La Poudre Reservoir Company. TO WIT: The Three Bells Ranch Associates do hereby take strong exception to the contents of said letter. It is the opinion of Three Bell that the statement about the water table is not a true statement. When I talked with John Lindeburg and Roy Johnson they stated they had not talked with Dan Bell and they further stated that they had written a letter of apology to Dan Bell. Roy Johnson further stated he had not made an on site inspection and he therefore should not have written the letter. Dan Bell came to Three Bells office immediately upon having received a copy of the letter, which I mailed to Mr. Bell. Dan Bell said he had made no stater,~ents about the water table in the area of proposed gravel extraction. Dan Bell did further agree that a family sedan could be driven over the complete area at any time irrigation water was not being applied to farm crops and pasture grass. Both Roy Johnson and John Lindeburg stated the letter from said Cache La Poudre was instigated by a neighbor of Three Bell, Robert Ochsner, who is on the board of directors of Cache La Poudre. There have been problems between said board member and Three Bell which are completely unrelated to the extraction of gravel. The letter dated February 21, 1980 was a cheap shot made without Robert Ochsner having given careful thought to the poss- ible con sequencies that might arise from the delay in the granting of said gravel mining permit. 1520 EAST MULBERRY, SUITE 150 FORT COLLINS.
