Tom Kaldenbach <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Sincerely, <br />Steve and Laurie Stratman <br />November 3, 2010 <br />0 ! S Pue btv.4 -sr <br />P, <br />X 114 — 0 It / cfrr yT <br />� ;Eli, • <br />1''Q J 0 3 2011 <br />D ivision or Reclamation, <br />I am writing to make comments regarding a certified letter I received from a representative for <br />Continental Materials Corporation dba Transit Mix of Pueblo. <br />Along with two other parties, I co -own a well (Permit Number 051314F) within 600' of property <br />that Transit Mix is proposing to mine Several months ago they contacted us regarding their <br />plans. With permission from the well owners they did GPS location, water level measurement, <br />and water quality test. They also held a couple of meetings between us and various Transit Mix <br />employee's and agents. <br />I own 50% of the well 51314F and there are two 25% owners. Transit Mix has asked the three <br />owners to sign GWS -38A 600' Well Spacing Statement and a contract of how they will mitigate <br />well problems. The two 25% owners have the Well Spacing Statement and the contract. <br />My wife and I are a licensed foster care home, we have had as many as seven people living in the <br />home at one time. With that many people living in the home and the large lawn, our water <br />requirements are greater than normal. I own 100% of a second well that serves my house and <br />has served it satisfactorily. This second well is just outside of the 600' spacing requirement. <br />However, Transit Mix operations might affect the well serving my house and has not addressed <br />how they will mitigate problems if they arise on that well. If they affect the house well my back <br />up is to use the well I own 50% of. I have concerns that Transit Mix has not addressed with <br />mitigating problems. 1.) Transit Mix has not specified the size or type (concrete /plastic) of the <br />cistern. 2.) Who will maintain the cistern and pump (tank cleaning and pump repair). 3.) What <br />will they do if the quality and quantity of water does not return after the mining operation. <br />Enclosures: GWS -27 Gravel Pit Well Permit Application, GWS -11 Well Ownership /Location <br />.:40) <br />
