As you aze awaze we hired Martin A. Nelson, INC. who prepazed a closure plan <br />for the site in 1993. By Apri19, 1994 the landffi was closed in accordance to the closure plan. <br />Since the closure, we have been actively involved in the monitoring and reclamation phases of <br />the project. <br />GREYSTONE Consultants from Denver have been assisting us with'our groundwater <br />monitoring and sampling. For the past several years they have been submitting the resuhs of <br />the analysis and tests to your department. It appeazs that aIl of the data submitted is within the <br />allowable ranges and compliance of various standards. <br />The reclamation of the site is neazly complete. Soon there will be a planting of the suggested <br />seed mix as per the recommendations of the Natural Resource Conservation Office. Upon <br />completion of the plantings the site will be nearing the end stages of compliance with the <br />closure phm. Due to the financial burden of the monitoring costs and the information <br />indicating that the site is in compliance with the monitoring standazds we would like to request <br />that we cease the groundwater monitoring. The liSing of this financial obligation will allow the <br />County to divert the funds towards other aspects of the completion of the closure plan. <br />Please consider our request, and let us know as soon as possible so we can our budget <br />aceordmgly. <br />Sincere , <br />~~~ ~~ ~ <br />a9*+~ of the Board of County Commissioners <br />
