This maintenance consisted of aroad-grader smoothing the <br />roadway, pulling gravel material (pushed off during snow removal activities) back onto the road <br />surface, and reinforcing the tow water crossings. Routine maintenance on the low water <br />crossings was performed prior to April 7, primarily consisting of drainage establishment and <br />material placement. <br />TCC also wishes to clarify some comments made by Mr. Fritz in his inspection report (received <br />by us on April 15, 1991) concerning the access road. First, Mr. Fritz states that he questions <br />the alleged lack of gravel in the road base, and the next sentence says "I was told that it was <br />temporary and would be taken care of as soon as the azea dried out." TCC wishes to emphasize <br />that this pertains to the statement that the road conditions were temporary and that the area <br />would be maintained when things dried out somewhat, not that we were planning to haul in <br />gravel as conditions allowed. <br />Second, Mr. Fritz made the statement than runoff from the road is not subject <br />control. This is not true. Approximately 60% of the runoff from the road is i <br />to Pond M, while the remaining flow for the most par[ runs off to a stockpond <br />a substantial vegetative f Iter. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcus A.
