been anticipated that the metal building located north west of the wash plant area would be <br />removed this spring, and that Division contractors would also demolish the foundation this year. <br />A change to the demolition contract would allow for retention of this structure. The Forest <br />Service has represented that the water tank located near the old District Office is on property <br />recently acquired by the United States. It has been anticipated that the water tank would be <br />removed this spring, and that Division contractors would demolish the foundation in 1998. A <br />change to the demolition contract would allow for retention of this structure. Similarly, the water <br />well located near the rear of the District Office, which is the only well that I am aware of in this <br />area, may be located on property recently acquired by the United States. A change to the <br />demolition contract would allow for retention of this structure as well. <br />Road access through the Preparation Plant area and Wash Plant vicinity will be temporarily <br />disrupted during the 1998 construction season, however access will not be permanently lost. <br />The asphalt located to the east of Road A north of the former District Office location will be <br />destroyed during completion of the demolition project in 1998. Much of the asphalt has <br />deteriorated over time, and will be further damaged as a result of the demolition work which is to <br />occur in this spring and summer. Further, the Dutch Creek Diversion will bisect the property <br />through this area. However, plans call for leaving a flat area approximately 125 feet wide (north <br />to south), and from Road A to the location of the metal building north west of the Wash Plant. <br />This area would serve as a suitable parking area in the future. <br />The attached plans are based upon the Division's understanding of the reclamation plan which <br />exists in the permit. Modifications to these plans may be necessary dependent upon final <br />disposition of the privately held lands. The plans are separated into descriptions of various <br />reclamation tasks at discreet areas. The areas have been defined by the reclamation projects <br />which the Division anticipates contracting over the remaining construction seasons. <br />When reviewing the attached plans, it is necessary to keep in mind that most of the plans are <br />either draft, or preliminary in nature. Therefore, the plans will require revisions and <br />modifications in order to accommodate site conditions, and in order to accomplish efficient and <br />cost effective reclamation. <br />The description of the Wash Plant Demolition Project is excerpted from Bid PKA- 8 -404a. This <br />contract was awarded in the Fall of 1997. Construction is slated to begin this spring when ground <br />conditions allow. This project was awarded for $108,500, and is funded through bankruptcy <br />proceeds. <br />The Huntsman Project description is an excerpt of the draft bid document, which is not yet <br />completed. This project is funded through Abandoned Mined Land Funds. Currently, the cost to <br />complete this project is estimated at $200,000. This project is scheduled to begin in mid -July, and <br />be completed in mid- to late September, 1998. As we discussed with Mid - Continent Resources <br />3 <br />
