If you would like to meet me <br />there any time, please call my cell phone to schedule your visit, and I will be happy to meet you there. My <br />cell number is 970-729-1823. <br />Regarding the allegations ofthe USFS that we have entered USFS property and built a levee, I want you <br />to know that neither I, nor anyone that I know, have been on USFS property since the large flood in 2006, <br />and we have already taken our beating for that with fines and court proceedings. We have never built any <br />levee's on their property. There has NOT been a dozer on USFS property since the 2006 flood, and all we <br />did at that time is move a tree blocking the channel. There has been high runoff this spring, which brought <br />a lot of debris down the channel, and which cut and moved a lot of rock. <br />Regazding the "waste oil"; it was actually water in a bucket which had a thin film of oil on top. It has <br />properly been disposed of. <br />Regarding the nitric acid; it will be moved to another site, or properly contained by 6/30/07. <br />Regarding the channel and sediment pond, We have had very high runoff this year. The channel and pond <br />were clean at the beginning of the spring. There was proper capacity at that time. However, with the high <br />runoff, the pond has been filled nearly to capacity. The culvert was plugged, and damaged in trying to <br />clean it out. As I have had a water and ~z~~stewater license in the State of Colorado, I know that the <br />CDPHE will not allow me to clean the pond and channel while runoff is occurring. This will put muddy <br />water into the river below. Therefore, as per CDPHE regulations, I need to wait until the runoff quits, <br />which is typically in the first weeks of July to clean the pond and channel, and comply with CDPHE <br />regulations. <br />~~ I <br />~~ <br />Pv ~ <br />Therefore, I request an extension on item number 1 only, sediment pond and spillway, of 4S days, or until <br />8-15-07. <br />
