December 26, 1991
Bonding issue
M-73-007; M-77-213
The above describes what transpired according to our recollection and
notes, and, in our opinion, ref lecte the moat accurate description of
the agreement. My client, Transit Mix Concrete, after being informed of
the agreement (that the additional bond amount would be approximately
$800,000 depending on the actual disturbed acreage) discussed the matter
with their parent company, Continental Materials in Chicago.
Continental informed Transit Mix that acquiring that much additional
bond was not possible. On December 23, 1991 Mr. Bud Herskind, President
of Transit Mix Concrete, discussed the matter with Bruce Humphries,
informed him of the same, and explained why the additional bond was not
available. I briefly discussed the matter with Bruce Humphries on
December 20, 1991, but did not discuss the reasons ae I was not aware of
the nature of the problems at the time, only that there was a problem.
On December 23, 1991 Mr. Herskind and I toured the site and discussed
the possibilities of reducing the amount of major disturbance (as
defined in your rules) and placing as much land as possible in the minor
disturbance category as quickly as possible. This would effectively
reduce the amount of bond needed to reclaim the existing disturbances
because only a fraction of the $5,000 per acre being applied under the
December 19, 1991 figure would be needed to bond land in a major
disturbance category. This disturbance reduction program was explained
to Mr. Humphries by Mr. Herskind in their telephone conversation on
December 23, 1991.
The result of these discussions and reconsiderations is two fold.
First, the information required in your November 1, 1991 letter will be
supplied as quickly ae possible. This morning we discussed each item in
that letter and agreed to the exact meaning and expectation of each
item. Later this morning you were informed, through your voice mail,
that Transit Mix had authorized the release of the digitized map data
from Leigh Whitehead & Associates (to be supplied on 1.y1, Mbyte 3.5"
floppy disk in non-compressed Autocad version 11 format). The point
data should be delivered on the morning of December 30, 1991. Other
information listed in your November 1, 1991 letter will be supplied as
soon as the information can be assembled.
Second, the disturbance reduction program will be implemented starting
on December 30, 1991 and will continue until completed. Although exact
acreages are not available yet, it is hoped that 30 to y0 acres of land,
much of which is currently in the major disturbance class, will be
placed in minor disturbance. Most if not all of this work will be
completed by January 31, 1992. A map will be provided shortly
identifying the land where this rehabilitation will be done plus a brief
narrative describing the work to be done on each parcel of land.
Furthermore, the work will be thoroughly documented by ground based
photography on a weekly basis and copies of the photographs will be
supplied to the Division.
