RE: Vickers Monitoring Wells in Regards to lake Schumann
Dear Mr. Frame:
• Site Development
• Road & Parking Lot Construction
• Storm Drainage • Land Clearing
• Fill Hauling & Compaction
• Heavy Equipment Rentals
This letter is to show the water levels in Vickers Pit (Vickers Grove
Subdivision) have not dropped due to our mining activities. Mr. Howard Geiger
had concerns with Iake Schumann being down in water level, and he is looking
for someone to blame.
Firstly, lake Schumann should riot be used for irrigation of yards
adjacent to the lake. Mr. Geiger says "I use the lake for irrigation
purposes"t This drawdown by Mr. Geiger and others is the direct cause for
the lake levels dropping in Lake Schumann.
Secondly, the large grove to the West also draws water out of the surface
aquafer for irrigation purposes.
There is presently a three-year low water level table decrease in Indian
River and adjacent counties (dry spell).
Mr. Geiger should be watering with the County water system and not
drawing down his neighbors' water table in Lake Schumann.
Mr. Geiger needs to look at Palm Lake Club, a manufactured hone park
with 100 homes, to the South. The residents of this facility, due to their
lawn watering irrigation systems, have drawn down Palm Lake Club lake three
to four feet. He can also check the lakes at the Wal Mart retention areas
which are also down three to four feet. The only lake that has not had its
level drawn is Vickers Grove.
Iastly, the Vickers monitoring wells are measured quarterly and
scientific water table studies show a slight rise in the water table in our
Vickers Grove Subdivision lake. We are not the problem. We, in fact, add
to the table water in the aquafer. We take no water from the aquafer
whatsoever. A copy of the studies of the Vickers Monitoring Wells is attached
for your review. A copy has also been forwarded to Mr. Geiger.
Sincerely,
7 vss
Henry A. ischer, D.D.S.
