 Gene & Barbara Brown We are concerned about the water level in our basalt well (UMAT 5027). We do not seem to be getting as much water as we use to get. In 2005 we had the well drilled another 100' to a depth of 383'. We also put in a larger pump. We would like to be added to the state's monitor level check routine as soon as possible so there will be a record of our dimishing supply. As a reference, on the state water supply well report dated 10-14-2005 the start card number is W165240 in Umatilla County.
 Robert Klein Dear OWRD: I farm on Schubert Road just West of this project by about a mile and my basalt well has now dropped to half of it's production with a full maximizing of my resource. Now Seven Hills is moving another diversion point closer to my highly impacted well including crossing over the drycreek canyon. In the original Go-Below hearings, Seven Hills used the fact that they were not over the drycreek canyon on the west side and that would help prevent interference. My well production loss has had significant financial impacts to my farm and I would like to see the State of Oregon Water Resources step up to the plate and address this issue starting with this point of diversion application. I understand that they can not use anymore water than they have been with existing wells, but adding a well to their system can add to the surge effect on drawdown when they can turn on an additional pump to fill their ponds and run current irrigation. I have random drops of a couple of psi when I am making no changes in my irrigation system that indicates somewhere the static water level is being impacted within the basalt. This has some historical evidence already with the Key well next door as Marvin Key stated several years ago that when the artesian pressure went away that my well had to be shut down for a short period of time in order to fire up their centrifugal pump that they originally installed in their well. Also, who is going to monitor the total quantity and the instantaneous flow rate of all the wells combined? This valley is starting to see a serious loss of water levels and many people are afraid to speak up since certain individuals in the community can carry out very heavy financial impacts to the 'smaller water users'. I would appreciate a serious OWRD response to this situation! Thanks, Robert Klein
 NATHAN LEEN&N RANCHESMy family lives on Dry Creek and our domestic well runs out of water yearly in the summer. This summer was the worst in years and there was hardly any water from the start of July - thru the end of September. Make no mistake I am vigorously opposed to adding another straw to an already excessively taxed water source.

 Gary KeyKey Family FarmsWe farm directly west of 7 hills vineyard and have 2 early water right basalt wells. Since 7 hills established their original basalt wells and started to pump we have notice a consistent 3 to 4 feet reduction in our static level every year (our static level has dropped over 25 feet since 7 hills has started pumping). Now 7 hills has applied to drill an additional well which we feel will just hasten this precipitous drop. We urge Water Resources to deny this permit. Thank you for your consideration.
 Gary KeyKey Family FarmsWe farm directly west of 7 hills vineyard and also pump out of 2 basalt wells. during the last 5 years we have observed the static level of our wells have consistently declined by 3 to 4 feet per year which we feel is a direct result of 7 hills new basalt wells that were originally established and utilized. Now they have applied to drill an additional well which we feel will just hasten this consistent decline. We urge water resources to decline this permit as it is threatening our livelihood.
