There is some concern involving the extensive <br />buffer zones that will be left to protect the Dry Fork of Minnesota Creek <br />and Lick Creek. We feel these zones are overly cautious and that upon <br />further subsidence monitoring these zones should be adjusted accordingly. <br />Accordingly, approval of the plan is recommended with the understanding <br />of further monitoring sad analysis. <br />Sincerely Yours, <br />~~M <br />F~ n. <br />Paul W.
