Aggregate Industries -WCR, Inc. Amendment No.l - Jeronimus Property Petmit # M-1999-034 RECEIVEF~ r 'JG 2 2 2003 ~rv~sion of Minerals and Geology August 18, 2003 Karen Topper 8120 E. 104'h Avenue Henderson, CO 80640 (303)838-5636 Division of Minerals and Geology!/ 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 Attn. Larry D. Oehler I2E: Findings of Fact, File No. M-1999-034, Amendment No.1 ~~ Set/k~~~n~, / Aggregate Industries - WRC, Inc. Dear Mr. Oehler: I would like to acknowledge receipt of the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order in the mater of the 112c permit amendment application of Aggregate Industries-WCR, Inc., file no. M-1999-034, amendment no. 1 issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board on July 8, 2003. Per condition 2) of the order, I consent to and am happy to participate in water quality sampling of my alluvial water supply well for DIMP. A clarification, however, needs to be made regarding the well to be sampled. As indicated in my previous correspondence, there are three water supply wells on my property. One bedrock aquifer well (permit no. 2455), permitted for domestic water supply, and one alluvial aquifer well (permit no. 2456), permitted for lawn irrigation, which aze housed within the same vault structure and located approximately 30-feet east of the property boundazy. Our field irrigation well, permit no. 32883, is an alluvial aquifer well that was adjudicated December 31, 1972 and is located approximately 25 feet east of the property line. The issue raised at the hearing concerned the remobilization of absorbed contaminants from the alluvial aquifer in which mining is to occur. The order, however, references sampling of the domestic water supply well, permit no. 2455. Sampling of this deep bedrock well would not serve the purpose to which the order was written. I respectfully request that my field imgation alluvial well, permit no. 32883 be the designated sampling site. This well has easy access, an operational submersible pump, and an available spigot on the surface from which to collect a water sample. Being adjacent to a field, there is also ample ground upon which to discharge purge water. This well is completed in the South Platte River alluvium and is 86 feet deep. The one-foot diameter boring houses 8-3/8 inch steel casing and a 3 horsepower submersible pump. In a telephone conversation, Mr. Robert Fleming, Aggregate Industries consultant, indicated that they were willing to sample any one of my wells.
