I have been able to access the records Rebecca E.Reif Chandler L.Maxon online. As we discussed, I represent Joan Stanley, who is the sole member of GJ Flat Top, LLC. Joan is a property owner within five hundred feet of the property • Karla J.Fultz(Of Counsel) of which this proposed oil field waste facility is being proposed. Terrence A Hopkins(Retired) Frank T Harrisono (Retired) Mrs. Stanley grew up in this area and this land has been owned by her family for Thomas! Logan(Retired) Robert C.Landess(Retired) generations. She is very protective of the natural beauty and serenity of this William 1. Dawe(Retired) Fred D Huebner(1919-1996) property. Therefore, she is very concerned about an oil field waste disposal Marvin E. uckworth(1942-2003) Philip Dora'(1949-2009) facility being installed just steps away from her property. 49-2004) Quad Cities Office My client's concerns are mainly focused in two areas. First and foremost, Northwest Bank Tower injecting this toxic material into the ground directly next to her property has a 100 E.Kimberly Road,Suite 400 Davenport,Iowa 52806-5943 negative effect on the drinking water on her property. It is no secret that wells Phone:563-445-2264 leak and pipelines break from time to time, and if this does happen it could lead Fox:563-445-2267 to tainted drinking water under my client's property. In the event the M Anne McAfee*Michael C Walker* contaminated waste water does not stay in its intended location and it . Paul Salabert,Jr * contaminates my client's water, it would be very cost prohibitive to clean up, if Maggie.Ruud* clean-up option. Y Glenn F. is even an o tion. Additionally, it seems that if such an event would Amanda R N Motto* happen, my client would need to rely on the financial wherewithal of Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation to fix the problem. Not only could there be contamination Add Office 1009 Main Street from an underground p '° spillage leak or burst i but there could also be surface s illa a of Add,Iowa 50003-1454 the contaminated wastewater. Phone:515-993-4545 Fax:515-993-5214 Secondly, but also an important concern of Joan's is that it appears from the James E.Van Warden Thomas P Murplryo Water Disposal Agreement dated August 26, 2014 that Whiting Oil and Gas Adam Doll Corporation will be trucking water to the site. My client is very concerned about the potential heavy traffic flow from trucks in the event Whiting Oil and Gas •Also admitted in Illinois +Also admitted in Nebraska Corporation decides to use trucks rather than pipeline to get the waste water to o Also admitted in Arizona the facility. Heavy commercial traffic in this area would significantly decrease www hhlawpc.com Page 2 February 10, 2015 the aesthetics and serenity of the property and compact and degrade/wear down the roads. Additionally, heavy truck activity would create unacceptable levels of dust in the area. The application states the contaminated waste water will be primarily pumped in by pipeline, but it doesn't appear the trucks of water will be prohibited or restricted in any way. If this oilfield waste disposal facility application is granted,could the site be moved further from my client's property? If the application is granted, will there be restrictions on the mode of transportation of the wastewater? For the reasons outlined above, my client is making objection to the placement of the Class II oilfield waste disposal facility-salt water injection facility as proposed in the application materials. Please have this letter filed of record with the application permits as an objection to the project application. Sincerely, HOPKINS& HUEBNER,P.C.
