The event became known as the "Mud feat". Local <br />radio station KBPI -Clear Channel Communications, had a role in organizing this <br />chaos. <br />Our vice president and geologist Bob Akrsght carefully mapped and photo- <br />docnmented the damage immediately following the September 23, 2000 even'~L I have <br />attached a copy of his report for your reference. We also employed the service of <br />Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers to evaluate the damage and Iorovide <br />a figure for reclamation and restoration. I have attached a copy of their findiings. <br />Mr. Tim Cowart and Grant Gurnee worked on this project Grant Gurnee is their <br />wetland eapert Other than cleaning up all the trash left behind by this illegal action <br />and pulling all the vehicles out, the area wes completely sealed off in November as <br />winter set in. Work is xheduled to commence on this project next Jnly. The lBoulder <br />County sheriff's office has made arrests on this case following an tatensive <br />investigation. The disc jockey's involved Strom ICBPI were charged with felonies.
