Over the preceding years Ouray <br /> Silver Mines, Inc. has been a willing and cooperative partner of the Ouray Ranger District and <br /> the Uncompahgre National Forest. The Ouray Ranger District is supportive of the amendment <br /> application. <br /> The amendment application revises the boundaries of the mining permit area. In particular, the <br /> permit boundary will be expanded to incorporate a constructed escape way and refuge chamber <br /> in the Governor Basin area. With these revisions the US Forest Service will require Ouray Silver <br /> Mines, Inc. to amend road use authorization OUR712 to account for summer maintenance of the <br /> roads accessing the Revenue-Virginius Mine permit area. In particular, Forest Service road <br /> NFSR 853.1 C accessing the Governor Basin area will need to be permitted and maintained to US <br /> Forest Service standards. <br /> If you have any questions about this comment, or about the relationship between Ouray Silver <br /> Mines, Inc. and the US Forest Service, please contact me at dana.gardunio a`;usda.gov. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> DANA ft ly y,,n.d E,DANA GARDUNIO <br /> GARDUNIO <br /> DANA GARDUNIO <br /> District Ranger <br /> ow <br /> Caring for the Land and Serving People Pnnted on Recycled Paper fo <br />
