We <br />were not aware there was a problem or a concern prior to this. Kerr was kind <br />enough to bring the correspondence to my attention and FAX a c py to my <br />office. Upon reading it, we immediately acted to cease the activit until the <br />matter could be resolved, and contacted your office that same day. <br />It was interesting to us that Health never contacted us directly with th 'r concern <br />or included us in their correspondence. Regardless, we respect thei concerns <br />but with the caveat that we did not believe the activity violated our D G backfill <br />notice or related water quality concerns, for reasons we discussed at that time. <br />Kerri indicated to me that Trevor admitted to her that it was a "grey are ." <br />Perhaps because the inspector apparently viewed the activity at a dis ance, the <br />area of impact reported and suggested time period was exaggerate Only a <br />fraction of one acre was impacted and the activity was quite recent. A ditionally, <br />the trees were not laid down in a solid pact but graded in with soil ar and each <br />bole. <br />Since the site is in a flood plain, impacts to future structures should not occur <br />since structures in a flood plain should not be allowed by Weld Coun y. Given <br />the rate of rot of a bole of tree it is difficult to believe that a comm n natural <br />phenomena evidence along most tributaries of the state would create ny other <br />type of hazard give the spacing between each bole. Worst case, over t me some <br />settling and hummocking of the upper surtace could occur. <br />
