July 23, 1998 Frank J. Daniels Mesa County District Attorney Courthouse Annex PO Box 20,000 Grand Junction, CO 81502 Dear Sir: Complaint and request for remedial Action This is to request an investigation by your office to determine if federal, state, and local government employees have intentionally falsified public documents. This request is the result of my reading a letter suggesting changes to Orchard Mesa Irrigation District (OMID) accounts to u....alleviate Charles Campbell's con- cern that his property would be 'encumbered." This November 8,1996 letter to Jim Rooks is from William D. Hamann. Jim Rooks is James D. Rooks, OMID manager. Mr. Hamann is the owner of West- water Engineering Consultants, and the author of the Mutual Mesa Lateral (MML) feasibility study dated September 20,1996. Concerned as to why Mr. Hamann would propose this change, I studied three other documents related to the MML project that appear to have been inten- tionally altered. These documents are: 1) Salinity Control Contract (92-233) 65- 8B05-4-3207; 2) CWCS Loan Contract & Promissory Note C1532723; and 3) the Mutual Mesa Lateral (MML) feasibility study. You are asked to review these three documents, plus several others I have en- closed, for unauthorized signings; for holding OMID taxpayers responsible for repayment of a loan of which they do not benefit; for holding OMID landowners responsible for repayment of a grant, if withdrawn by the United States because it was found to be faulty, and for producing associated documents intentionally designed to conceal wrongdoing. So that you might understand these documents better I have prepared a back- ground of the events. Following this background, I have summarized these documents. Additionally, I have prepared a section entitled "What Is It" that deals with questions that have occurred to me. This section is followed by a summary which details my view of those involved. 1 /------
