Also, included in this project was the cleaning and clay lining of <br />a portion of an irrigation ditch, a short segment of which is located within the <br />Deepe Farm Pit boundaries. This drainage project was completed in mid-July, <br />2001. The contractor was very careful to minimize his areas of disturbance and <br />all azeas disturbed during this project were reclaimed, per approved specifications. <br />This work was approved prior to commencement via a letter of authorization from <br />the Division of Minerals and Geology. <br />
