As a result, pad locations previously approved in PR -14 for MDWs E6 -14 & <br />18 (now E6 -16), E6 -21.5 (now E6 -15), and E6 -25 (now E6 -14) were shifted approximately <br />400' to the north to lessen disturbance. There are no changes proposed in the previously <br />approved road alignments. <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 />Kathleen G.
