The wells at 1113 H Street were drilled by Dakota and completed as 2" diameter monitoring wells,
not Direct Push. Thus, the costs should be coded to TLC2.5 as they were (165ft x $8.5/ft =
$1,402.50), not at TLC1.5. The unallowed amount of $489.50 should be allowed.

We submitted a reimbursement request to the State for $11,484.79 from the CO Petroleum Tank Storage Fund
back in April. These expenses were related to the cleanup of a fuel spill at the Greeley fuel site. The State
deducted $489.50 from the amount we requested because some of the costs were "unallowed". The contractor
who performed the work (Palmetto Environmental) sent me the following email this afternoon. They have
competed a protest form that we need to submit because those costs should have been allowed. What steps are
required to have Commissioner Buck sign the protest form by the September 30`h deadline?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Rusty,
You should have received the attached Fund Payment Report for 1113 H St. However, the unallowed
costs are incorrect and should have been allowed. I have attached the protest form that we need to
submit to the State for the Petroleum Storage Tank Committee to review and approve for payment. Is it
possible for Perry to sign this before September 30th? Let me know if that will be an issue, and I'll go back
to the State.
Thanks,
Katie Drafts
