the problems to date.
He stated he had contacted the State:Fish and Game and they said the city had to get
permits from Fish and Game and Water Quality. After those permits were secured and
some of the fill work was done, a "private citizen" had questioned the fill being used.

Sciences sent a letter stating the:stockpiled .ashpalt along Ashley Creek is a
prohibited activity under The Montana. Water Quality. Act. He requested a compliance
schedule of when the ashpalt will be removed and where it would be moved.

with a gentleman from the Corps of Engineers on. Wednesday to see what their
requirements are. That is where we stand now on this project.
