 Media Release 2/27/08  
 Wisconsin Association of Lakes, comments on matter  
  Sheboygan Press Article 3/1/08 - Please take note that the interview with Bob Kampmann never discussed anything about a high capacity well at the mine site.  Neither Bob Kampmann, nor the groundwater study by RSV Engineering mentioned the subject at all.  The problem identified by the study, and discussed in the interview, relates to how the natural groundwater divide (barrier) between Crystal Lake and the mine has been artificially altered by mineral extraction and excavation at the site.  The reclamation plan as proposed would likely increase the rate and scope of harm to Crystal Lake by altering the divide further.
