ATTORNEY BROWN FELT THERE IS PLENTY. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE COMMENTED THAT MR. HYATT HAS APPARENTLY ONLY <br />SUBMITTED A LETTER WHICH STATED THAT "A BLACK MAN NAMED WILLIE SAID <br />THE DEPTH OF THE LAND IS APPROXIMATELY IO' BELOW THE WATER," WHICH HE <br />DID NOT FEEL WAS SUFFICIENT, RATHER THAN A REPORT FROM A REGISTERED <br />SURVEYOR. <br />ZONING DIRECTOR WALKER STATED THAT THE WATER HAS BEEN PUMPED <br />OUT SINCE THEN AND THAT WILSON VJETHERINGTON,OF THE ADMINISTRATOR'S <br />OFFICE,SHOT THE LEVELS AND SAYS THEY ARE 10' BELOW. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED THAT THE ATTORNEYS GIVE THE ADMINIS- <br />TRATOR SOME GUIDANCE ON HOW TO PROCEED. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS SUGGESTED THAT ATTORNEY BROWN AND ASSISTANT <br />ADMINISTRATOR NELSON GO INTO ANOTHER ROOM AND DECIDE HOW TO PROCEED, <br />POSSIBLY WRITE SOME LETTERS. <br />ZONING DIRECTOR WALKER CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE LOCATION OF <br />THE MINING OPERATION AND PRESENTED MORE PICTURES. HE NOTED THAT THEY <br />ARE WORKING ON DR. FISCHER'S AND MR, DOZIER'S PROPERTY. MR. WALKER <br />POINTED OUT THAT THE POND WOULDN'T HOLD WATER BECAUSE OF THE HARDPAN, <br />THOUGH THIS IS'NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE EXTRA 10'. HE DISCUSSED THE <br />LAYERS OF SOIL, COMMENTED THAT THE AREA IS FLAGGED, AND REITERATED THAT <br />HE FEELS MR. HYATT HAS PLENTY OF MATERIAL TO GRADE IT BACK. HE NOTED THAT <br />DR. FISCHER IS GOING DOWN 23' ON THE SOUTH END. MR. WALKER DISCUSSED <br />OTHER MINING OPERATIONS AND NOTED THAT WE ARE HOLDING MR. FLETCHER'S <br />MONEY AND HE IS SHUT DOWN. HE STATED THAT HE FELT WE SHOULD EITHER HAVE <br />SOMEBODY HERE WHO COULD GO SHOOT THESE LEVELS OR CHANGE OUR REGULATIONS <br />TO REQUIRE A REGISTERED SURVEYOR TO GET THE LEVELS EVERY SO MANY MONTHS. <br />HE STATED THAT HIS DEPARTMENT IS DOING THE BEST THEY CAN TO POLICE THE <br />SITUATION, BUT IF IT ISN'T GOOD.ENOUGH, WE NEED A REGISTERED SURVEYOR <br />OR ENGINEER. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT WHAT CONCERNS HIM IS THAT <br />HE DOESN'T LOOK AT IT AS BEING 10' BELOW, BUT 20' BELOW. <br />MR. WALKER NOTED THAT MR. HYATT'S ARGUMENT I.S THAT THEY NEED <br />TO GO BEYOND THE HARDPAN TO GET CLEAN WATER AND NEEDED THE SLUMP AREA <br />FOR THE WATER TO RUN TO, <br />37 <br />APR 4 1979 <br />BOOK 39 PAGE 391 <br />
