There are no <br />changes proposed in the previously approved road alignment. <br />The new locations were evaluated by the FS to identify any previously undocumented <br />cultural resources, T &E species and other resources of special interest. The FS will <br />document the findings of these evaluations during this revision process. <br />Please contact me at (970) 929 -2238 or by e-mail should you have questions regarding <br />this submittal. <br />Sincerely, <br />10 _�_ �Vt <br />Kathleen G.
