MCC would like to meet with you to look at the road(s) to be repaired, so that specifications <br /> for the contractor can be prepared to ensure that the proper work is completed. <br /> Also, MCC has provided materials and laborers to Riley Searle of Whistling Acres Ranch (a BLM <br /> grazing lessee) to complete repairs to your south fence during the first three days of last week when the <br /> weather and ground conditions were more favorable. As you know, these repairs were completed <br /> Wednesday afternoon, June 18, 1997. Per your telephone call Thursday morning, l understand that Riley <br /> had contacted you Wednesday evening to arrange for sorting of cattle on Thursday on both sides of the <br /> fence. Riley, an experienced cattleman, stated that the fence is in sufficient condition to hold cattle <br /> (unless they are being chased). MCC believes that the fence will now function as intended and should <br /> address your concern. <br /> MCC had offered in our letter to you of May 20, 1997, to provide assistance to you in completing repairs <br /> to the fence, as MCC believes that much of the repairs needed were due to normal snow load and wildlife <br /> damage. Instead, MCC, with the assistance of Riley, completed all of the repairs. Please recognize that <br /> MCC does not take responsibility for normal, natural damages, but completed this work anyway. <br /> Apparently, Riley has completed similar repairs (though not as extensive) on this fence during the past <br /> two years at the request of the BLM. <br /> Please contact me should you have questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ,(tz�tell <br /> Kathleen G. <br /> Environmental Supervisor <br /> cc: David Berry, CDMG <br /> Mike Boulay,CDMG <br /> Kirk Mueller, ARCC Legal <br /> Phil Schmidt, MCC <br />
