Follow-Up Investigation Report
10‑Mar‑2004 by hawthorne
Received An Additional Contact Number From Patrica Cox Today (754-1904). Called Both Numbers 963-2702 & 754-1904 And Left A Message For A Call Back. Received A Call From Ms. Norris Inwhich I Informed Her That The Ditch And Drainage Pipe Is Inadequate To Drain All The Water During Heavy Rainfall And Pumping From Mining Operations Simultaneously. I Informed Her That Mr. Jenkins Plans To Close Is Pit By The End Of This Month Which Should Correct The Problem Of Flooding. If Mining Continues After This Month I Asked Her To Give Me A Call. Then Maybe I Will Request The Pumping Of The Pit To Be Stopped During Heavy Rainfall And Resumed After The Water Levels Have Subsided. Recommend Closure Of Complaint.
