.' TLI ]U N 6 2004 Robert and Jenni, EWAROMv;ELENTHEATH June 24,2OD9 pERj M,|T/S E R V I C E S First off, |wish to apologize for our efforts inconstructing the berms south of the existing rifle range without contacting the EH0before the start of the project. Our intentions forthe range were strictly a means to an end. Because of the predicted cost of bringing dirt onto the site and grading it for proper water runoff,xveneeded tmfind asolution tothe financial strain the project would put onus. When our family friend,Jim Scholl,offered his services, it was a sudden opportunity. He had been notified to the access of a tractor only a few days before we began the work. He began working on April 201h.April 21't, I sent an email to Jenni requesting her to come out to see the progress.While working on the new pistol range,Jim also started the grading and soil improvements directly south of the new pistol range. |was elittle shocked atthe letter| received because when]ennimade the visit,there was no discussion about the new berms that were constructed. I genuinely felt good about the progress being made to your satisfaction. I guess I had thought that since it was used prior as a silhouette range years before,there wouldn't beanissue. Keeping inmind the cost factor ofthe rest ofthe EHDproject,vvededdedthetputtingupthebernmsto facilitate the new pistol range would bekey tofunding the rest ufthe soil and grading.The old pistol range was putting a safety and financial strain onthe business.The construction ofthe existing pistol range is failing and sending off possible ricochets.We had to shut part of it down.Also, having that range separate from the 50 and 100 yard range makes it difficult to have it monitored while in use with also having someone in the office.When having the new range next to the existing 50& 1ODyard range, only one Range Master would be needed while having that same person watch the range from the existing, currently unused,office on the shooting line.All intentions were on tightening up loose ends so that vvecould attack the proposed EHDproject atasteady pace. With that being said, | hope that you can accept my honest apology. | have been making this project a priority.After we get the site cleaned up as proposed, | hope we can move forward with getting a permit for the new range asthe financial and safety issue still exists. VVehave contacted Brian J. Caetanmfrom CaetanoExcavating, and Danny Rocha from D] Rocha Trucking.They work together onprojects suchasours.TheynoodeasitevisitonVVednesday]une17 mto examine the property and gave us some insight on what needs to be done.Along with this letter, Brian has created a more detailed plan on surveying of the property to examine the depth of the waste as well as a resolution to our violation.
