I explnirtwi the facts regttnting tht changes at TT, <br />and indicated Thai T stir! wanted to b'Y to finish the work thatwe started um on last year. I feel bad about the situation, and the <br />fact that the SSG aasigrtmeni is still not complued. 1 have been able to keep the SSG files and maps that I was working with a[ <br />TI'. Since our discussions in early Februaty,l }rave had several conversations and meetings with Paul and have made <br />additional auenrpts to wort: through a solution en the `pictorial" represenmtion of the Permitted disturbed area. <br />Which brings us to the currept moment in time. I was glad that you came to visit my office so that I could show you what rho <br />problems are Thai I am facing, and who I have dime in an anepryt to solve those problems based on the infrnma[-an War is now <br />available [o us. As T expl'aiDed ovzr the ]ast several weeks 1 have been able ro grt what I feel to be an accurate representation <br />of the Perttnned area by using your map that was nn the wall of y our o~nrx and getting a good set of features io sarle to, versus <br />the problem was trying to scale fearrites from the CD-PDf files that we oripnally hsd We otmvetitd many points ort that <br />drawing to points chat we could stake out W the field, bur afrerhaving net a doaen or so points, h became apparent Wet the <br />poinU on the "pictorial^ map didn't land arrywhere near where 1 would have placed disturbance limits paints. <br />At this point in time 7 need some gtrideace from you or DMG on how ! should prr>axd. In my opinion, someone heeds to <br />define what is disturha•1 and trot disturbed i.e. stock piling vs, excavation and then we mold locate t}xtse points, lints or ernes <br />on We Bound and then ptn on dte map, as it is right Row (m ply ppituon), the "fah tip marker IinQ on the U.S.G-S• map" <br />du~n't represent what has actually heop disturbed <br />'1'o be sure, 7 think that we are very close to orNining what we have foul in We tile, but I am not ca[ain that this will suffice <br />for DMG. <br />ARer our discussions last week I am happy with your su&estion shat your consultants should go review this situaton wild <br />ffivIG directly ro sap [f we pan obtain some direction and clattificadon on this subject, The last thing that I went [o do Is spend a <br />tot ofnry time and yotu money Doty m find our that we bavo not aocomplish~ your stated goal of complying with DMG's <br />regpest artd have m redo all over again <br />Please feel free to courser me in the near futttrc m discuss this situation further. I will nwait yotu direction after Ille <br />conversations with DMG before I proceed any fm'dter oil this assi,~mmepk If I need to be involved }n the conversations whh <br />DMG I will attempt to make myself available by phone ifI have some advanced notice: of the time of the conversation. <br />TLank vrou for the chance to continue to work with you op this mapiz and 7 look fo:wsrd to getting it completed as soon as <br />poss3le. <br />SincErely,_ <br />~(~'~7 <br />Tom Burnett <br />Cc: I>avtd Tiptop, Coasult;ud <br />
