This problem being that the gas and oil collection lines are being allowed to be placed in the approximate centerline of the county roads. This in turn is causing the destruction of existing land survey monuments. Certain amount of these monuments are either not currently referenced or the references are old enough that most or all of them have been removed during the years. In turn creating the problem of not being able to reestablish them back to their original location. The destruction of these land survey monuments is addressed within the Colorado Criminal Code under Title 18, Article 4, Part 508, Paragraph 2, which defines their destruction as being a class 2 misdemeanor. I believe that these monuments can be, and should be, saved by requiring the various people involved with laying these pipe lines to have the monuments referenced as required prior to doing there trenching. I would be more than happy to work with you in establishing the necessary requirements to see that this problem is alleviated. If you or anyone at the county should have any questions please feel free to contact me at your convience. Sincerely yours, Charles B.
