Mr. Mautz is alleging <br />that MCC has damaged a spring to which he has water rights. This <br />spring is in the Lone Pine Gulch drainage in the NW ; of Section <br />20. I am still in the process of determining whether the spring is <br />truly a decreed spring and whether mining induced subsidence caused <br />any damage to the spring. <br />It is with these two issues that I am requesting your assistance. <br />It has been brought to my attention that Bear Coal Company is <br />mining in Section 17 close to the Section 20 line. Bear's angle of <br />draw apparently includes a portion of Section 20 and possibly the <br />spring in question. Is it possible that Bear may have impacted <br />this spring? I also would like to know what springs in this area <br />Bear is currently monitoring, to determine whether Bear has been <br />monitoring the spring in question. <br />I would like to go over this information with you at your earliest <br />convenience. Perhaps some time next week? Please let me know when <br />you would be available. <br />cc: David Berry <br />007CTZ.SSS <br />
