'® The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company <br /> 1700 East Golf Road <br /> Schaumburg, Illinois 60173-5860 <br /> November 30, 1992 <br /> Mr. Boyd Gibbons - Director <br /> Department of Fish and Game <br /> 1416 9th Street <br /> Sacramento, CA 95814 <br /> Dear Mr. Gibbons: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to provide a formal apology to Fish and Game Warden Art <br /> Ramirez and to the Department for the way Santa Fe Railway handled and responded to certain <br /> efforts by Mr. Ramirez to get the Company to remove treated timbers and other construction <br /> debris from alongside our bridge known as AT&SF Railway Bridge 1134.8 near Orwood <br /> California. <br /> We became aware of this matter in late October of this year and, upon review of the file, <br /> have concluded that many of the problems which developed between March and October of this <br /> year in connection with this bridge project resulted, at least in part, from some misunderstanding <br /> between our local supervision and Mr. Ramirez. It is apparent to us, however, that our forces <br /> did not respond appropriately to Mr. Ramirez' efforts and for that we apologize. <br /> We have taken steps internally to ensure that supervision at all levels understands our <br /> corporate responsibilities to the communities where we operate and the importance of <br /> cooperating with local authorities in their efforts to enforce laws and regulations under their <br /> jurisdiction. We are sure you will find us to be more responsive in the future. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> J. R. Moreland <br /> Vice President - Law & General Counsel <br /> M. W. Franke <br /> Vice President - Maintenance <br /> A Santa Fe Pacific Company <br />
