Please note that all improvements have been installed and tested per the plans and specif ications. On November 17 , 1998, Schmueser Gordon Meyer provided a letter to yourself discussing that minor spreading of topsoil and seeding areas of the park needed to be completed as well as chip/seal of roadway. Recent work activities have been completed in the subdivision in that the topsoil has been spread on the park and the park has been seeded. Accordingly, the roadway has been paved with a 2" asphalt mat (which provides a stronger road section than previously proposed). I have noted in our November 14, 1997, letter that a total of $3,01O.4O was to be retained by the County for security to ensure the final two improvements noted in our November 14 correspondence were completed. Given this scenario, and now that the improvements are complete, we would request for RB Homes, that this security be released and the County formalize the approval process for this project. lf you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.

The plant was completed in 1996. On December 20, 1996, an inspection of the facility was performed. Throughout the construction of the facility. minor changes were made to the original design drawings. Those changes are as follows: 1. Eliminating chlorine building to reduce visual impact on l-70. The owner does not anticipate bver using such a facility. The chlorine contact chamber has remained unchanged. 2. Add small buitding to pretreatment structure which houses etectricat control panel for aeration equipment, flow measuring equipment and small work station for monitoring. 3. Aeration equipment is Aqua tornado as produced by Aeromix Systems, lnc. 4. Galvanized steelslide gates have been replaced with redwood to reduce visual impact and to avoid anticipated corrosion. 5. Cat walk eliminated on settling pond effluent for reasons of safety, maintaining liner integrity and reducing visual impact. Outflow adjustability is achieved using rope and pulley system. 6. Aeration equipment is being secured with polypropylene rope in tieu of stainless steel cable. The reason for this is ease of handling for routine maintenance. 7. 1 15 millimeter geotextile fabric and 40 millimeter HDPE were used as a liner, in substitute for hypalon. Pit run was encountered as the base material in the ponds. Four inches of bedding was placed prior to liners. 8. The last manhote prior to pretreatment struciure was eliminated. Alignment was adjusted in the last section of line as well as alignment of the pretreatment structure. January 7,1997 Mr. Dwain Watson Page 2 we believe the above changes do not impact the intent of the original design of the facility, nor are inconsistent with Colorado Department of Health & Public Environment Design Criteria for Lagoon Facilities. with the exception of these changes, the plant was built as per the original design drawings. The only addition that we asked Mr. steve Boat, owner of the facility, to make was to ensure that adequate walking surfaces were maintained along the berm separating the ponds' we felt as though the watking surface between the ponds was unsafe' Mr' Boat agreed to do this and will install a safe *iring surface. once that is installed, we will inspect that facility as well. lf we can provide any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact us' Sincerely, SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. ,--7 ,/ -/-.?'7=- Louis Meyer, P.E.
