<br />-:;"7'0. <br />- ~'; <br /> <br />-r; .; <br /> <br />October 15, 1982 <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Files <br /> <br />Subject: Response to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, September 14, 1982, <br />Letter on Draft Environmental Assessment for Dolores Project <br />Road Upgrading <br /> <br />L Comment: <br /> <br />Our comments of December 1979 and September 1981 stipulate that adverse <br />impacts to big game sh~uld not occur provided that the roads remain closed <br />during the winter and that the Forest Service prohibited snowmobiling in <br />the area. We also suggest that your agency be prepared to find required <br />mitigative measures should road kills become significant in the future. <br />None of these concerns are incorporated in the draft as conditions to the <br />proposed road upgrading. <br /> <br />We therefore recommend that the draft assessment be re-written to include <br />the stipulation we provided as conditions to road construction and <br />rec.reation. <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />The text has been revised, see page 4; the statement now incorporates your <br />suggestions concerning big game into the proposed road upgrading plan. <br />
