I am enclosing a copy of a letter from Dana Murch at DEP. As you can see, Dana has ordered Mr. Fortier to close the spillway gates immediately. The significance of this letter is that the order took place after Dana consulted with MEMA regarding the safety of the dam. Dana has informed me that if he doesn't hear from Mr. Fortier that he has complied within a couple of days, he will turn the matter over to the Attorney General's office to force the issue.

Sincerely,
Geoffrey H. Hole
