He recently confirmed this though the a-mail <br />which Dan referred to in his history synopsis. <br />• We have a meeting scheduled for Dec. 11 at Pt. Collins to work out the details of the study. <br />• We are in the process of identifyuig several sources for the saplings. <br />• Without a commitment from Dr. Sheppard and the details, we could not implement the study. <br />• Seneca is proceeding with the study and it should provide valuable information to the industry. <br />• The timing of Dr. Sheppard's commitment and the work of selecting the saplings did not allow <br />time to get started this fall. <br />• Seneca has the topsoil in place and the basic plot laid out. Work on the fence has begun. The <br />irrigation contractor has yet to be named but we have several bids. <br />A violation is not warranted is this case. We will submit a revision to the permit when the details <br />have been worked out with Dr. Sheppard, hopefully in the Dec. 11 meeting. <br />Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information or if we can meet and discuss <br />this NOV. <br />Thank you, <br />Sincere ~^ <br />Roy A. Kano <br />Reclamation manager <br />Seneca Coat Co. <br />PS: If you can make the Dec. 11 meeting we could use your input. It is at Dr. Sheppard's office 240 W. <br />Prospect, Ft.
