V�'A3 Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety 1313 Sherman Street Room 215 Denver, Colorado 80203 December 29, 2009 (.:. NX I UO$ JAN 0 4 x.010 Division u ;tion, Mining G. _ ioty Dear Sandy: If this Permit- Revision is not withdrawn, we are requesting an informal hearing, (as per the telephone message) that according to the law, the hearing will be taped, a newspaper public notice will have to be given in a local paper 2 weeks in advance with day, time, and place. Everyone that filed a complaint, an objection, or comment, or has any interest may attend, and be permitted to speak. We are also requesting a tape or transcript of the meeting that we begged all you to go and attend in Grand Junction and where I was misquoted and I thought we had that all cleared up-1 share will do 2 acres. Any opemtors(WFC) that willfully and knowingly profjided ` i nfonnatiion in any plan, revision, permit, or documentation, or documented material to the DR�Mcan be fib $10j000 or up to one year imprisonmumt or fine and imprisonment. WFC has no only provided and documented False information, but they have maliciously done so, with years of forethought. In Permit Renewal #5 DBMS allowed WFC to change the Martin Farm from Irrigated Farmland to Dry land when WFC knowingly knew that this place use to be beautiful hay fields and even after I reclaimed it, I got numerous cuttings of hay off this property while employed by WFC. WFC willfully and knowingly have the farmers SHUT THEIR WATER OFF TWO YEARS IN ADVANCE as they did the Sunshine Place, so that when the DRMS arrives to do an inspection all the DRMS sees is a dried up piece of property with prairie dog holes and looks horrible as did James Johnsons and ours. WFC has already began drying up other areas even though it will not be mined for 2 years. WFC also takes pictures of the property when NO irrigation is being done because of seasonal or when we are just about to replant and then claims we never irrigated it. WFC also claims that farmers only do one cutting in this area is totally false and they know it because even at the mine I did three cuttings.. WFC also knows by attending numerous CC ditch board meetings, that the water is NOT attached to the property and I repeat is NOT ATTACHED to the property and can be moved from one piece of property to another at anytime and can be restored to that property when needed or even more or less can be restored. If the landowner has the shares, (Morgans is the largest share holders in the CC ditch) they can take whatever amount they want and put it wherever they feel it is necessary at any time. So, if more water was needed, a paper is filled out at the CC ditch company and it says how many shares of water a person wants to move and where. If new landowners take possession of the property, as did Dirk Richards, that they have enough water to put the Martin place into a swamp as do we if we wanted to. This was in the recent permit 5 renewal and should have never been approved and we are objecting to that. WFC knowingly and willingly and maliciously refused more water so that WFC could convince the DBMS that there is not enough water available to farm these properties by any means possible, even building WFC own weather station and no expense spared to hire people to try and prove
