snowmelt to cut across the road. The diversion is now clear and functional. The rill in the road <br />will likely worsen over time, so Ms. Binns recommended that it be repaired with a grader. She <br />will check the permit for road maintenance requirements and follow up with Mr. Tarazoff. No <br />other stability issues were noted during this inspection. <br />Landowners expressed concerns regarding noxious weed presence within the permit area. After <br />bond is released, Chevron would no longer be responsible for weed maintenance. Weeds do tend <br />to proliferate over time and landowners would be responsible for weed control on their own <br />property. Patches of weeds off of the permit area were identified as "vectors" (source stock <br />providing the biological pathway for invasive species' colonization). Unfortunately DRMS does <br />not have authority to require weed control outside of the permit area and recommended <br />landowners contact the county to report infestations. <br />I discussed this bond release action with Jennifer Maiolo (Bureau of Land Management, Little <br />Snake Field Office) via telephone around 4:30 pm on June 22 I confirmed that she is receiving <br />notification of the inspections and asked if she has any concerns about the property as we <br />approach final bond release. She has received the inspection notifications but other priorities <br />have precluded her from attending scheduled inspections. She does not have any current <br />concerns regarding the property, but would like to attend an inspection before the bond is <br />released. She will coordinate with Ms. Binns to attend an upcoming inspection. <br />I attempted to contact Lori Jazwick (Natural Resources Conservation Service, Steamboat Springs <br />Field Office) around 1:30 pm on June 28 Ms. Jazwick was on a conference call at the time and <br />has not returned my call as of the time I am filing this report. I will follow up with her to ensure <br />any NRCS concerns are addressed on this property before OSM concurs in a decision to release <br />bond on this property. Because we have determined additional weed control is necessary, this <br />bond release action is not imminent. <br />3 <br />
