These holes were temporary plugged with a pipe band until the replacement part could be <br /> fabricated and installed. The repair was anticipated to be completed by March 28,2022. All contaminated <br /> soils were immediately excavated and the affected areas will be reclaimed (graded and seeded). <br /> Please perform repairs to this structure as soon as possible (if they have not already occurred). Once <br /> completed, provide the Division with photo documentation of the repairs and reclaimed area. <br /> If you require additional information, or have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> A�v� <br /> Amy Yeldell <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> Enclosures: <br /> Ec: <br /> Travis Marshall, Senior EPS, Grand Junction DRMS <br /> Bill Mills,White River Field Office, BLM <br /> Gerry Deschaine, Natural Soda EH&S Manager <br /> Gerald Daub, Consultant <br /> o co. <br /> Physical: 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 * *; <br /> Mailing: DRMS Room 215, 1001 E 62nd Ave, Denver, CO 80216 https://drms.co[orado.gov <br /> Jared S.
