Your memo stated that the piled material in question <br />was not, in fact, topsoil., and that any necessary topsoil is periodically imported from offsite for use in reclamation. <br />These statements act to correct that part of the problem. <br />The letter that is attached to your memo, from Tina Mayfield, concerning noxious weed control plans and <br />treatment, explains that the site will be monitored and treated as needed. Her statement acts to correct the other part <br />of the problem. <br />The "topsoil" problem, as described in my 5/19/99 inspection report, has been fully abated. Please keep this office <br />apprised of any further importing and use . of offsite generated material, and of weed control activities. Thank you <br />for your prompt attention to correction of these matters. <br />If you have questions, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 484 Turner Dr., Bldg. F-101, <br />Durango CO 81301; tel 970/247-5193 or fax 970/247-5104. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />a:\ouray pb ab/rco <br />
