Subject: Jon File Application
October 16, 2004
Dear Monica & Jacqueline,
We will be out-of-town for the October 19th hearing for Jon File, but hope you will include our letter and
comments into your decision. While Mr. File might suggest that it does not pertain, we have found that it does
affect our water, as when he did previous mining.
We own property east and adjacent to WCR 3-14, and North of the property of the applicant. Historic water
rights that we own include the Hauck Seepage; the Hauck Drainage and the Hauck pipeline. These originate on
the applicant's land. As mentioned above, his gravel mining in the past has interrupted and even diminished the
water supply on the above names ditches.
In examining this request, we request that the historic rights originating on the applicant's property be addressed
and protected.
We will be visiting with you when we return the end of the month. Thank you, Mike & Ginny Shaw

Re: Permit # M-2003-045 & M-2003-060
We would like to strongly object to the proposed issuance of another
mine permit to be located on WCR 3.25 just north of Hwy. 52 to a Mr.
John File, better known as FARFROMWURKIN.
We have put up with a pile of dirt from one mine by Lafarge, at CR 3.25
and 16.5 for over 3 years and it is not done yet. We were promised 6
months. CR 3.25 has just been repaved and we find it most appalling to
just get our road back and now find there is a possibility that we may
not be able to use it again due to this new mine.
The truck traffic is supposedly to be routed onto CR 3.25 then onto
Hwy. 52. Due to the volume of traffic on Hwy. 52 already, any trucks
attempting to make a left hand turn onto Hwy. 52 will all but close
down current residence use of CR 3.25 to the south.
We ask that you also consider that we will be asking for reduced
property taxes due to the diminished values to our properties from
noise, dust, traffic, damage to CR 3.25 and loss of view and various
safety issues.
We understand that a landowner has certain rights as to use of their
land, however, this land was purchased as a farm. He has the right to
farm this land and we fully support his right to do that. We would not
object to a subdivision. But to be able to disrupt our quality of life and
damage the value of our property with a mine for 6 years, to that we do
object. EXHIBIT

Without permission or permit, dirt work for a subdivision was started
and completed on an agricultural parcel of this property. The subdivision
request was denied and now the owner of this property wants to mine it
to recoup his costs. Then he plans to sell storage rights for water for the
40' hole he will create by mining this property and then try to get a
Town to annex the property for homes.
What about our rights? Our rights to use roads we are taxed for. Our
rights to the country setting we paid for. Our rights to clean air and
being able to sleep until a reasonable hour.
I could see this mine happening if we were in short supply of aggregate.
If it was for the good of everyone involved, instead of just one business.
But when we put the rights to make money over the rights of people,
we are making a mistake.
We will be sending this petition to the State of Colorado, The
Department of Mines and Department of Transportation.
Respectfully,
The Homeowners of Centennial Ponds and Reflection Bay

RE: JOHN FILE, FARFRUMWURKIN LLP (USR-1488)
We are landowners to the North(& Fast on WCR 3-1/4) of Mr. John File's
Farfrumwurkin, LLP. We have the majority ownership in three historical adjucated water rights,
all of which originate on Mr. File's property. The water flow from these water rights have
flowed continuously the last 40 years that we know of(and longer from the testimony of others).
The flow of these rights have been interrupted at times during the last two years due to
P^` gravel and dirt removal on Mr. File's property.
We would like assurance that these water rights will continue flow at all times during and
after the mining operation. We cannot irrigate without this water flow.
We will be glad to provide further information should it be necessary.
Thank you,
