Dear Sir_
I have called to your attention that my lagoon level [cached a level less than 19" on January 31, 2000. 1 met with Mr.
John Hasty of your office on February 2, 2000,'at 2:30 p.m. and laid out my plan of action to reduce this level to 20"
or more.
I have wheat approved in my waste managacntent plan vvith nitrogen balances more than adequate to bring the level
to 20" or more. The seven-day forecast is for cloudy skits but no rain is called for_ There is no standing water in
these fields and therefore I have begun to pump: Ixvel should be acceptable by February 7, 2000.
?hank you,
Tommy L. Stone
