Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />Office of Surface Mining <br />Dear Mr. Berry and Mr. Klein: <br />We are requesting a withdrawal of Pr -07 and requesting the rules and regultions of the Colorado <br />Surface coal mining be fulfilled. <br />As you can very clearly for yourselves in all documentations, the rules and regulations are be <br />broken. <br />All documentations and pictures must be done when the property is in full production. This is <br />your rules. Since farming is seasonal, it states that all seasonal documentation and pictures must <br />be taken when that seasonal item is in full production. <br />This has been violated from the beginning. Even in the formal hearing and in court, the google <br />earth pictures and aerial photos were taken during September, October, December, February, and <br />all the off months. There was not ONE photo produced that was during our full harvest <br />production or when our fields were in full bloom. NOT ONE. <br />Jim Irvines soil survey and his pictures were FEBRUARY. MR. DeJoia was November and <br />December. All of these times when the fields have already been harvested and all the pictures <br />are during when the ground is frozen. This is all against your rules and regulations. <br />Our fields are beautiful and all of you try and make them look like they are being less irrigated, <br />or that two or the fields are Iess productive. All of these things are omissions of the truths. I <br />have pictures of those fields and when they were first planted in Av120 in 1998 before any <br />mining took place and you can see how dark green and beautiful they were. Mr. DeJoia as well <br />as the WFC are trying to show our fields after they have been harvested and when the stubble are <br />on the ground instead of the fields when they were in full bloom.. WFC and then State also did <br />this at the formal hearing. Marcia and WFC presented google earth pictures and pictures to the <br />Board in the fall and winter months trying to deceive everyone into thinking that there was fields <br />that were less irrigated or showing more brown. Well, after they are harvested, they do show a <br />lot of brown, but this is not legal and should have never been allowed according to the rules. <br />They should have been forced to show pictures of this property in June, July, and August when it <br />is in full bloom and they weren't. <br />You can go back and look at all the dates of the photos that have been presented by all the soil <br />surveys that WFC did and all the presentations that the State has supplied and you will see the <br />dates and that none of these are during production nor are they abiding by the rules. <br />[,•d <br />Z89L - 0L 6 <br />RECEIVED <br />FEB 01 2013 <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining & Safety <br />aauanl uen of <br />
