We will then review this <br />plan, along with the other information you provide, and inform <br />you of our final decision. If the restoration plan appears <br />acceptable, we will coordinate with the Forest Service and state <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. <br />In summary, we hope to see equilibrium returned to the <br />confluence of the San Miguel and South Fork rivers, which would <br />resolve all noncompliance issues. Successful channel stability <br />and a functioning floodplain will reduce land erosion, vegetation <br />loss, and improve visual values. Your expression of cooperation <br />in remedying waterway and adjacent floodplain areas is <br />encouraging and could prevent time consuming and costly <br />litigation. Furthermore, implementing an acceptable restoration <br />plan this fall/winter would likely prevent having to remeasure <br />channel dimensions and redesign reclamation after 1996 runoff. <br />If you or David have any questions in preparation of your <br />submittal, please contact Ms. Nall at telephone (970) 243-1199. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brooks Carter <br />Chief, Intermountain <br />Regulatory Section <br />Copies Furnished: <br />Mr. Kirk Alexander, Post Office Box 374, Norwood, Colorado 81423 <br />Mr. Robert L.
