iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii <br />999 <br />Date: July 27, 1997 <br />Subject: Bowie #2 flyrock <br />To: Joe Dudash <br />From: Bill Carte~~ <br />As you requested, on July 21, 1997 I investigated the citizen complaint regard- <br />ing flyrock from Bowie #2 hitting the residence of Terry and Rita Rugh. That <br />afternoon I went to the fruit stand and met with Doug Frazier the owner of <br />the property and from my understanding, the person who filed the com- <br />plaint. <br />Mr. Frazier stated to me, "I should not be telling you this, but the mine is try- <br />ing to run us out". According to Mr. Frazier, he had another party appraise <br />his property and Bowie thought the appraisal was too high. He stated that he <br />wants to sell all of his property which includes land, home and apartment <br />rentals, but felt that it was worth more than Bowie was offering. He than ad- <br />mitted that Bowie was in the process of appraising the property at the present <br />time. This was verified when I visited the property and the Bowie appraiser <br />was in the process of measuring the buildings. <br />Mr. Frazier stated that there was a blast between 5:30 and 6:00 PM on Friday <br />the 18th, and that one of the charges did not go off when it should have and <br />that when the last one went off it threw rock that hit his house (which was <br />rented by Terry and Rita Rugh), and all around the area including the irriga- <br />tion ditch and his shop. According to Mr. Frazier, Tony Bear and the Bowie <br />construction foreman came down and apologized to Ms. Rugh and said that <br />they would pay for any damage that was caused. Mr. Frazier stated that Terry <br />Rugh came home and that Mr. Rugh and Tony Bear walked around the prop- <br />erty and picked up flyrock, and that Tony took the rocks with him. Mr. Frazier <br />also stated that the Rugh's children were playing under the deck or they <br />would have been hit by the rocks. Mr. Frazier additionally stated that he had <br />talked with the ditch tender and that he had told him that there was a lot of <br />fly rock along the service road along the ditch. <br />Next, the conversation switched to the dust problem. According to Mr. Fraz- <br />ier there is dust coming down to the homes every morning and evening <br />
