However, this task <br />was made less cumbersome by several of the DMG personnel. I wish to thank the DMG and those people that <br />extended their expertise, attentiveness and kindness during the process. <br />I had several occasions to talk with you, Carl Mount and Christina Kamnikar. All questions were answered succinctly <br />and with great clarity. The assistance provided was invaluable. I have, over the past 14 years as a regulatory <br />consultant, considerable experience dealing with governmental entities on the state and Federal levels. In those 14 <br />years I have never encountered the professionalism and attention to regulatory issues exhibited by the DMG. To <br />say the least, it was most unexpected and refreshing. <br />After my last conversation with Ms. Kamnikar, the decision was made to disband the local citizens' group, F.R.A.M. <br />While our objections still stand, we have no concern that the state, primarily because of Ms. Kamnikar, will not <br />diligently enforce the regulations within their jurisdiction. This provides a level of comfort that allows us to <br />withdraw our party status, effective immediately. <br />The experience with the DMG, particularly Ms. Kamnikar, has been one of the few positive aspects of this entire <br />ordeal. We thank Ms. Kamnikar for her overall professionalism, individual attention to detail, timely responses and <br />firm grasp of the regulations. In addition, we thank Mr. Mount for his assistance and supervising as staff of such <br />caliber. Ultimately, we thank the DM6 for restoring faith in the permitting process and the apparent <br />attentiveness to issues within the DMG's jurisdiction. <br />Regards, <br />Kim Davis, air <br />F.R.A.M. <br />pc: Ms. Christina Kamnikar <br />Mr. Carl Mount (DMG) <br />Ms. Catherine Krueger-Rovey <br />
