("OMI") requests an extension of the deadlines for the <br />installation of erosion control in the field (abatement No. 1) per NOV No. CV- <br />2001-007 from May 15, 2001, to June 15, 2001, and for implementing the <br />approved Minor Revision No. 58 (abatement No. 3) from July 01, 2001 to August <br />01, 2001. Recent attempts by OMI to excavate and/or recontourthe soil berms <br />along existing Coal Gulch road and along the new road have failed due to <br />excessive moisture from the snow contained within and beneath the berms. <br />Snow cover exceeded two feet in depth at the time the original work was <br />completed and it was not reasonably possible to avoid mixing the excavated soils <br />with snow. Additional drying time is needed so that the berms can be <br />successfully graded, seeded and mulched. <br />Please call me at (970) 929-5834 should you have questions or require further <br />information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kathleen G. Welt, <br />Environmental Supervisor <br />cc: Jim Cooper, OMI <br />3 7 3 7 Hwy 1 3 3 P O Box 5 3 5 Somerset C o l o r a d o 8 1 4 3 4 U S A <br />TEL (970)929-5122 FAX (970)929.5177 <br />
