According to BLM and Sunnyside land status and ownership plats, a <br />portion of the permit that Sunnyside is requesting be modified from rangeland restoration to industrial is on <br />public lands. We estimate the acreage at about 2.5 acres on which lies the snowshed, the American <br />Tunnel Portal, a transformer station and possible other installations. <br />The BLM is opposed to the modification to Industrial use and reclamation for the portion of the permit area <br />that lies on BLM managed public lands. This reclamation plan is inappropriate for the long term <br />management of public lands. <br />I have attached a portion of the survey plat dated 1986 done by Sunnyside Gold that shows where the <br />public lands are in respect to the permit. <br />Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at 970-385-1353 or my cell 970-759-2718. <br />Sincerely, - <br />Sfephahie Odell <br />Abandoned Mine Lands Project Manager <br />San Juan public Lands Office <br />970 375 2338 p,2 <br />USDA Forest Service <br />San Juan National Forest <br />~ ~.~~ ~CE <br />2~ aO ~® <br />,~ <br />e~. <br />ce%B . <br />r <br />:`~ ~' <br />Date: January 15, 2004,~/~,~r~ ~~~~ <br />encl. <br />
