Hayoen <br />The Boards of Commissioners of Delta and Gunnison counties would like to express our support <br />for the evaulaGon of off-site cumulative impacts of the current and proposed mining activities in <br />the North Fork Valley. <br />We strongly encourage a joint effort between the BLM and Forest Service in this evaluation. We <br />would like to see the BLM as the lead agency in the process. It is also our interest and strong <br />desire to be included in the evaluation process. <br />Coal mining continues to be a vital part of the economies of both counties. It is our hope that this <br />process can be handled as quickly as possible to prevent any economic hardships on the <br />communities and corporations involved while still addressing the potential off-site impacts and <br />identifying appropriate mitigation measures in a comprehensive manner. <br />Sincerely, <br />DELTA COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />GUNNISON COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Donna R. <br />Jim D~/entrello, Vice-Chairman <br />~``~ <br />Ted H.
