<br />Mr. Richard Mills -2- <br />Friday, August 1, 1980 - <br />Monday, August 4, 1980 - <br />Wednesday, August 6, 1980 - <br />August 25, 1980 <br />Arrangements made to <br />have sub-contractor <br />equipment made available <br />for immediate abatement <br />of violation. Method <br />of abatement discussed <br />with Engineering staff <br />in Denver office. <br />Decision is made to fully <br />abate the violation by <br />removing eight feet of <br />the fill from the haul <br />road and salvaging the <br />top soil underneath. <br />Abatement work on haul <br />road began. <br />Abatement work completed. <br />The top soil which had <br />been covered by the fill <br />was removed and moved to <br />the active top soil stock- <br />pile. The road was <br />replaced. <br />Northern would like to emphasize the fact that it takes this <br />situation very seriously, and we feel that we attempted to <br />deal with this violation in the most expeditious manner <br />available to us. <br />We have completed the abatement at a.cost of approximately <br />$5,000. The high cost was partially due to the fact that <br />we chose to abate it immediately with a subcontractor doing <br />the work rather then waiting until our own equipment was <br />available. The abatement period was ninety days and we <br />completed it in less than five working days. We hope you <br />will take this into consideration. <br />We look forward to discussing this with you at the informal <br />conference. <br />si~~~~4~RP~.~ <br />Gerald T.
