R6 <br />M" ~o <br />.. <br />~ ~8-l6 ~ <br />Roy Rnmer <br />Governor <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Direcbr <br />Today, when I arrived to work, Yvonne handed me a written telephone message from <br />Mr. Red Cortner. She indicated Mr. Cortner seemed somewhat irate during her conversation <br />with him. I returned his call at 8:35 a.m., and again at 9:05 a.m., both times reaching his <br />message machine. <br />Mr. Cortner returned my call later that morning. His tone was inflammatory, and he <br />indicated that he had called several times, without a return call from this office. Kent did <br />find one message on his phone mail from Mr. Cortner, I had received none. <br />Mr. Cortner was calling to express objection to the pending bond release at Grassy Gap. He <br />was responding to our bond release inspection notification letter. He asked why he had not <br />been notified of the bond release process, and threatened to lock the site gate. I reminded <br />him that he had been notified, as evidenced by the fact that he was calling to object. He <br />asked how we would conduct a release inspection on the site with snow on the ground. I <br />assured him that if weather conditions preclude a proper inspection, then the affected <br />evaluation would be postponed. <br />I asked him to define his specific problems. He stated that the "dirt work" was fine, but that <br />some culverts had been left on site. He also stated that revegetation success could not be <br />evaluated since the recent work had just been seeded, and that there is snow on the ground. <br />I agreed. He also stated that weed infestation would be a problem, and that the landowner <br />should not be left with a weed problem. I agreed. <br />We agreed to meet at the site on Monday. <br />DAB/yjb <br />m:\oss\yjb\castle <br />
