Customer No. C0045 Dear Mr. Lewis, Please find enclosed one signed original copy of the Joint Funding Agreement between Eagle County and the U.S. Geological Survey for the calendar year period of January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. The agreement covers the operation and maintenance of the stream flow Gaging Station No. 09064600 on the Eagle River near Minturn, CO. Eagle County would ask that the USGS consider changing the rank of this gage under the Prioritization Plan from medium to high as this very important gage is not only used as part of our shared Eagle River water quality monitoring network but also serves as the compliance point for CBS, Inc. as they continue to implement their respective corrective action plan as codified in a Record of Decision for the cleanup of the Eagle Mine. We understand the work performed with funds from this agreement will be conducted on a fixed- price basis. Eagle County will be expecting your invoice for $8,570 for the operation and maintenance of this gage sometime in early 2008.
