Dear Mr.Smith:

I am responding to your Notice of Violation dated October 3, 2007. I have enclosed
documentation that I mailed the Certification of Completion on February 28, 2007.
Attached are copies of the Certified Mail Receipts as proof that I sent this
documentation as required to the Division of Water Quality and to the US Army Corps
fo Engineers. I have also completed a new Certification of Completion as directed by
Vicki Fuentes in response to your letter.
When I originally applied for this permit I spoke with Mike Horan with the Division of
Water Quality who helped me a great deal in understanding what was required for this
project. I met with Mike Horan and Eric Alsmeyer with the US Army Corps of Engineers
at the site on July 13, 2006 at 10:30 a.m. and spoke with them in detail regarding what I
needed to do. I feel I have completed my project in accordance with their requirements.
I am in compliance with the 401 Certification dated January 12, 2005 and the October
9, 2006 AFTER-THE-FACT Certification. I am requesting that this project file be
approved and closed.
Mr. Smith, I have tried to do everything that was required of me for this project from the
time I applied for this permit. I completed the project and sent in my Certification of
Completion with photos in February. 1 would appreciate your help in getting this matter
resolved.

I would also like to let you know how much I appreciate the assistance that Vicki
Fuentes has given me in this matter. She was still hard at work after 8:00 p.m. when
she called me and was very patient in explaining what I needed to do in response to
your letter. She seems to be very dedicated, I am sure you are already aware that she
is a great asset to your office.
Sincerely,
Donald Hathaway
