Ms. Erica Crosby September 4, 1996 Page 3 Engineering Depts. We were hoping that Mr. Draper would allow us to place the excavated material from RCR 27A along the shoulder of RCR 27 to minimize the disturbance on the Hallenbeck property. we further explained that the revision submittal showed the "worst- case" disturbance on the Hallenbeck property, since it included the detour road for traffic while the dragline crossed RCR 27. This detour would have caused approximately 4 acres of disturbance, including the removal and reconstructing of a stockpond on the Hallenbeck property. Neither you nor Larry asked about the work associated with the widening of RCR 27A and why it was not permitted by Seneca. Mr. Draper did come out for our meeting in the morning on the 22nd. Since we told him that RCR 27 would need to be closed for approximately two hours to cross it with the dragline, he stated that instead of doing all of the additional disturbance associated with the extra detour road that the county will close the road the morning of the crossing. He thought it was a good idea to use the excavated material from RCR 27A and place it adjacent to RCR 27 within our existing easement on this road, minimizing the disturbance. Mr. Draper said that he had no problems with the deadhead plans and informed us we could start the next day with the widening of RCR 27A. On Friday August 23, i called Larry and left a voice message that we had received approval from Routt county to go ahead with widening RCR 27A and to place the fill alongside RCR 27, within the existing county road easement. When the Yoast permit was approved in August 1995, the county requested that we add a turn lane in both directions at the intersection of RCR 27 and Yoast Haul Road "A" for safety reasons. These two lanes were not included in the Yoast permit area, yet they were discussed with the Division, since they were constructed at the request of the county. We felt the fill along RCR 27, associated with the widening of RCR 27A, was a similar circumstance since the county approved it even though TR-03 had not yet been approved. Work started that morning. On Monday August 26, we had a phone conversation on several issues and I mentioned to you that we started the work on widening RCR 27A. within the hour, Larry called me back asking several questions about this work. i asked him if the Division had a problem with what we were doing, i would be happy to stop the work until we were given the go ahead by the Division. Larry said that we could continue with the widening. Seneca received the oversize permit to walk the dragline on RCR 27A and RCR 27 on August 28, a copy was faxed to you on August 29. We received the Administrative Permit from the Routt County Regional Planning Commission, for this deadhead project on August 30.
