Gillespie Farm Dam Progressing

Laptop Battery Public relations guru Richard Gillespie is building his dream home on 126 acres of farmland on Harbourton-Woodsville Road. The three-story, stone-and-stucco mansion, near completion, boasts an indoor pool, an elevator and spectacular views of - a weed-filled crater in the back yard.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Thinkpad The giant hole in the ground is as far as Gillespie got in his plan to build a 5-acre, backyard pond to raise trout and irrigate his land. The state shut down the project in 2000 because Gillespie failed to get proper environmental permits for the job.

Microsoft Now, two years later, Gillespie is still in the process of fixing the wetlands and dam violations he committed and redesigning the project to comply with state environmental standards.

Over the last two years, Gillespie has been barred from touching the project until he gets permits to fix the damage and complete the job. One of the biggest obstacles was bringing the new pond into compliance with safe dam laws. To do that, Gillespie's engineers have scaled back the size of the pond basin so it only needs a dam small enough to qualify as a "class four" dam, not requiring DEP approvals.

Laptop Computers Gillespie said he has been working diligently with the state Department of Environmental Protection to resolve the matter - a time-consuming process involving countless meetings and the exchange of many documents, he said.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computer "I haven't been dragging my feet," he said. "I'm anxious to get this resolved."

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Desktop Computer Gillespie is awaiting final approvals on his plans to scale back the size of the new pond, restore the wetlands he disturbed while building it and fixing the dam he breached on a smaller pond on his property.

Notebooks DEP officials said the approvals are likely to come soon. "We're generally satisfied with his plan to restore the wetlands," said Peter Lynch, chief of the DEP's Bureau of Land Use Enforcement. "We're waiting for Dam Safety to (approve Gillespie's dam remediation plans). I understand Mr. Gillespie is anxious to do the work."

Lenovo Lynch said Gillespie's project was stopped before it caused any serious environmental problems and the businessman has been cooperative in working toward resolving the problem.

Hard Drive "But at the end of the day, a violation was committed and we'll be seeking penalties for those violations," Lynch said.

Travelstar While those fines may be steep - up to $10,000 for each day he was in violation - the man who makes a living polishing the images of his clients said he is more worried about the tarnish the publicity has left on his own image.

Gateway "I want people to know that I didn't go out on a bulldozer and selfishly do what I wanted to do on my property," he said in an interview, his first since the incident became public two years ago. "That could not be farther from the truth."

Laptop Parts Gillespie said the property was in shambles when he bought it in 1999. After razing two dilapidated houses and several barns, Gillespie, who wants to raise cattle and trout on the land, decided to build a large pond to irrigate the property. He also decided to dredge an existing pond whose overflow pipe had become clogged with silt, causing water to overflow into a pasture when the pond was full.

Software To design the project, Gillespie hired an engineering firm and consulted the Natural Resources Conservation Service, a federal agency that provides homeowners with information about conserving soil, water and other natural resources on their land.

Hard Drives Gillespie said an NRCS agent told him that as long as the watershed contributing to his pond was fewer than 150 acres, he did not need DEP permits to do the work.

Electronics "I was under the impression that I could pretty much do what I wanted because it was a farm," he said.

Canon At one point, Gillespie said, he checked out the DEP Internet Web site and read that the size of the pond he was planning - about 5 acres and 15 feet deep - did require DEP permits.

Desktop Pc But he said when he questioned the NRCS about it, he was assured he was not required to seek approvals.

Desktop Computers "So I started building," he said.

Think Pad Janice Reid, a district conservationist with NRCS, said she remembers speaking with Gillespie, but only because the site later became the subject of DEP violations. She said she does not recall the specifics of her conversation with Gillespie but she would not have told him whether his project was subject to DEP approvals.

Repair "We're a nonregulatory agency," she said. "We have nothing to do with enforcing state laws."

Data Recovery By the time the DEP, acting on a tip, arrived on Gillespie's property in March 2000, workers had dug much of the new pond and deposited the fill in what the DEP later determined to be a wetlands buffer area. They also had cut a section of earth from the old pond's dam to install a new overflow pipe, an act the DEP said required a permit.

Cisco Gillespie pointed out that he did not reroute the water to flow into any streams or waterways it was not already flowing into.

Keyboard "The water was rerouted back to the same ditches it had flowed into when the old overflow pipe was working," he said. "I just put the water back where it had always gone."

Monitor Because Gillespie had no permits, the DEP officials who showed up promptly shut down the project.

Wipro As he awaits the permits to finish the job he started two years ago, Gillespie says the incident was a misunderstanding.

Lap Top "Obviously, I should have done things differently," he said. "I should have called DEP. But I set out to (build the pond) in the correct way. It was my assumption I had done that. Once I learned I hadn't, I fully cooperated with DEP in every way I could to restore the areas DEP had issues with."
