Re: Line Camp Gravel Pit - polores,. ColoradQ

In my opWo~ the proposed design 'of the Line Camp gravel pit increases the risk
of flooding from a Dolores River high discharge event on the land of Jack Akin and Carol
Stepe on the east side of the valley. This type flood event could threaten human lives and
buildings ,on the Akin property. This opinion was arrived at after I reviewed existing
documents, aerial photographs and personally visited the site in question.

My Curriculum Vitae and supporting documentation are attached and
incorporated in this Affidavit by reference.

My findings and conclusions are based on the following Sources of Data which I include
in this Affidavit by reference:

1. USGS Boggy Draw Quadrangle 7.5 Min. Series Map, 1993.
2. USGS Montezuma County, Colorado, Couno/ Map Series, sheet 2, 1975.
