Page 2 <br /> Annual ReporlIMILRD p M-1977-410 <br /> December 08, 2000 <br /> By: Tom Hendricks/Calais <br /> peat bog/wetland area in Caribou park This property damage took place on our <br /> private patented claims known as the California, Candia and Pandora No. 4 claims. <br /> The event was highly documented by the media, both on TV and in the written press <br /> and was carried nationwide.The event became known as the"Mud test". Local <br /> radio station KBPI-Clear Channel Communications, had a role in organizing,this <br /> chaos. <br /> Our vice president and geologist Bob Akright carefully mapped and photo- <br /> documented the damage immediately following the September 23, 2000 event. I have <br /> attached a copy of his report for your reference. We also employed the services of <br /> Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers to evaluate the damage and provide <br /> a figure for reclamation and restoration. I have attached a copy of their findings. <br /> Mr. Jim Cowart and Grant Gurnee worked on this project.Grant Gurnee is their <br /> wetland expert. Other than cleaning up all the trash left behind by this illegal action <br /> and pulling all the vehicles out, the area was completely sealed off in November as <br /> winter set in. Work is scheduled to commence on this project next July. The Boulder <br /> County sheriffs office has made arrests on this case following an extensive <br /> investigation. The disc jockey's involved from KBPI were charged with felonies. I <br /> have not heard of when the trail date has been set. The event consumed a huge <br /> amount of work time in late September and October. <br /> Currently we're discussing our plans for action on this matter with our legal <br /> council. The most important part of this is to educate the public on prevention of any <br /> further environmental damage like this in the future, private property rights and <br /> making sure this area is fully repaired correctly. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions or require any additional materials. <br /> Thank y u for your consideration. <br /> incerel , <br /> Thomas Hendricks <br /> President Rd General Manager <br /> Attachmen /Check/Mud fest Reports/Akright and Walsh <br /> CC: Mr.John M Henderson/Mr. Bob Akright/Walsh Environmental/Calais- <br /> Chilliwack OfficelDr. Tom Patton/Mr. Jason Heathman BCSD <br />
