The boreholes aze proposed to be drilled along the existing <br />All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) trail in Sylvester Gulch. The revision is necessary and prudent for <br />evaluating soils and predicting slope stabilities along the route. The USFS is the land managing agency <br />for the project and has responded with additional requirements that they would like to see conducted in <br />Sylvester Gulch. MCC is currently attempting to resolve the outstanding issues with the USFS. <br />Please notify me if you have questions regarding this request for extension of decision. <br />Sincerely, <br />Henry A.
