<br />~ <br /> <br />The fill material borrow areas as referred to on page 8, have been changed <br />as a result of field investigations and as documented in a Special Use <br />Permit Application from the Bureau of Reclamation, Cortez Projects <br />Office. The two borrow sites referred to in the assessment have been <br />deleted and replaced with two sites (Areas C and D) as illustrated on the <br />attached maps. A cultural resource inventory must be conducted on these <br />sites, and if no significant properties are present, a finding of no sig- <br />nificant impact for these sites would be appropriate. <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />See response to Comment 4. <br /> <br />The statement has been revised to incorporate these changes and a cultural <br />resource survey has been conducted. The sites that are now going to be <br />used would have no effect on cultural resources. <br /> <br />15. Comment: <br /> <br />See Page 8, J. Summary. <br />It should be noted that the proposed action will also provide access to <br />thousands of acres of private lands. <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />The text has been revised and now reads, "to San Juan National Forest, to <br />private land, and to McPhee Dam and Reservoir". <br /> <br />16. Comment: <br /> <br />Although the map enclosed with the assessment illustrates the May Canyon <br />Road, and this road is also part of the Memorandum of Understanding, there <br />is no mention of this road in the assessment narrative. We suggest that <br />the document include this road in the assessment. <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />The May Canyon Road was covered in the Final Environmental Statement on <br />the Dolores Project and no further NEPA compliance is necessary. <br />
