Rogers says owner Travis Hoffman has quote-"went to extreme measures to start correcting this problem" - end quote. He points out because the ponds are not deep, approximately six feet, the problem is more a seasonable problem.

Rogers emphasizes they will continue to monitor the situation but says his meeting with the owners of H & M Trucking was very good.
