The TDN was sent by <br />certified mail, and receipt of that notice was postmarked July 20, 1990. <br />Your office's written correspondence, regarding the TDN, was received on <br />August 6, 1990. AFO will consider this a timely response to <br />TDN 90-02-351-1. <br />The TDN cites Colorado Rule CCMR 4.11.4(1) as the rule believed to have <br />been violated for violation 1 of 5.

MLRD contends that no violation of the rule cited exists. <br />AFO disagrees that a violation did not exist. MLRD acknowledged that <br />insulation, plywood, and Mirafi fabric were found onsite.
