During that visit we discussed the <br />various maintenance items that were to be performed as a result of <br />a Board Order issued during the November meeting of the <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. Additionaly the maintenance <br />items were explained in a letter dated January 25, 1991. As you <br />know the Board Order stated that the maintenance was to be <br />performed by June 1, 1991. <br />On May 30, 1991 I met with Mike Ferrari, who was contracted to do <br />some of the required maintenance. Mr. Ferrari and I inspected the <br />areas where maintenance work had been performed. Nearly all the <br />required maintenance had been performed at the time of this visit. <br />There were just a few small items that still needed to be finished <br />including at least one thing that was not discussed during our site <br />visit. <br />This involved the Baldwin road on the north side of the property. <br />Durinq construction of that road Mr. Baldwins contractor removed a <br />culvert that conveys drainage from the west side of the reclaimed <br />area to the sediment pond number 15-P2. I asked Mr. Ferrari to <br />replace this culvert and told him that I would inform you of this. <br />Outside of this there were only a couple of other things that were <br />not completed which included grading a road and repairing a couple <br />more rills. The rest of the required maintenance had been completed <br />to the satisifaction of the Board Order. I would caution you that <br />the site will need to be maintained from this point forward until <br />bond release is completed. <br />
