_ ° United States Department of the Interior u.°~ ~~~ <br />'i; <br />ti Bureau of Land Management <br />Gunnison Field Office <br />A ':, +'~ 216 North Colorado <br />Gunnison, Colorado 81230 <br />July 11, 2003 <br />p~ived <br />MEMORANDUM "~~ <br />To: file; COC-61223 ~q ~ <br />From: Realty Specialist ~~~~ <br />Subject: Compliance Examination; Right-of--Way Serial Number COC-61223 "~Y <br />On July 3, 2003, I visited the subject right-of--way for purposes of conducting a <br />compliance examination. Mr. Wayne Giesy, President of Ophir-Nevada Inc., and <br />Mr. Reid Giesy were present. <br />Mr. Giesy requested that the bridge, which they had originally been installed by <br />them across Henson Creek, be removed from that location on public land to be <br />used on their own property. I approved this request. <br />Mr. Giesy also requested that the common rock material, known as "dump rock" <br />which was the result of excavation that had occurred on their private property, be <br />utilized for placement upon the access road. This material had been examined by <br />Mr. Bob Oswald, geologist with the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />and consequently the material was determined to be suitable for such purposes as <br />road fill. I concurred with the assessment of Mr. Oswald and subsequently <br />approved the request to use the material on the access road. <br />In my inspection of the access road right-of--way I found the work accomplished by <br />the right-of--way Holders to be exceptionally conscientious in terms of protecting <br />the site from unnecessary impacts. Mr. Wayne Giesy and Mr. Reid Giesy had <br />refrained from using any heavy equipment to improve the road, choosing instead to <br />accomplish the work by hand using only hand tools. This, in my opinion is rather <br />extraordinary considering that most of the work required moving a large quantity <br />of boulder and talus material in various locations along the road. The work <br />accomplished would have been very arduous. I would also point out that Wayne <br />and Reid have also been extremely gracious to work with and anxious to ensure <br />that the right-of--way is being managed fully in compliance with all the terms, <br />
