The Division must receive either a copy of the written agreement, or some <br />type of statement signed jointly by authorized officials of both Brannan and Frei by close of business 8 <br />June 2010, which is the day before the 9 June 2010 meeting of the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />(Board), to prevent the matter from being brought before the Board at the June 2010 meeting. <br />If after reading this letter you feel that a meeting would be worthwhile, please contact us to set that up. <br />You are welcome to contact me with questions at (303) 866-3567, x8108. <br />Si erely, <br />J <br />David Bird <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Fred Marvel, Brannan Sand & Gravel Co. <br />Greg Gerganoff, Brannan Sand & Gravel Co. <br />Tony Waldron, DRMS <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
