THERE IS NOTHING TO FORBID LOCATING SUCH WELL CLOSE TO OUR EXISTING WELL. IF CONTRACTOR’S WELL STRIKES WATER IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR HIM TO USE IT WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING PERMIT TO DO SO. SUCH PERMIT MUST BE GRANTED IF THE PROPOSED USE QUOTE DOES NOT TEND TO IMPAIR THE VALUE OF EXISTING RIGHTS, OR TO BE OTHERWISE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE. UNQUOTE WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST GRANTING OF PERMIT, BUT CAN DO SO EFFECTIVELY ONLY ON THE BASIS OF SOUND ENGINEERING EVIDENCE THAT OUR EXISTING RIGHTS WILL BE IMPAIRED. IN ANY EVENT THERE IS NO LEGAL ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN AT THIS TIME TO PREVENT THE DRILLING OF THE WELL. R-17 MDiMF SCR
