An interdisciplinary (ID) team will be assigned to analyze and disclose the environmental <br /> impacts from the proposed activity, as required under the National Environmental Policy Act <br /> (NEPA). This analysis will include the consideration of comments solicited from the public and <br /> from other cooperating agencies. Following completion of the NEPA analysis, you will either <br /> appeal and/or accept any mitigations the Forest deems necessary to minimize adverse impacts, in <br /> addition to posting an acceptable reclamation bond in accordance with 36 CFR 228.13. <br /> As a reminder, you are responsible for obtaining any other regulatory agency permits necessary <br /> for the proposed activity. If your operations will require 401 certifications, you must provide <br /> this to the Forest prior to MPO approval. <br /> Please keep a copy of this letter for your records. <br /> If you have any questions and/or need clarification regarding the above information, please <br /> contact Geologist Amy Titterington by phone at 719-838-0699 and/or by email at <br /> amy.j.titterington@usda.gov. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Digitally signed by <br /> JOSHUA OSHUAVOORHIS <br /> Date 20 <br /> VOORHIS 120604?OT00'3 <br /> JOSHUA VOORHIS <br /> District Ranger <br /> cc: DRMS -Elliott Russell; Teller County Planning Department <br /> OW <br /> Caring for the Land and Serving People Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
