CHAPTER 8 <br />RESPONSE TO COMMENTS <br />This chapter contains responses to the comments <br />received on the Draft EIS. The DEIS was sent to <br />the mailing list found in Chapter 4 of the DEIS in <br />early April 2005. A notice of availability appeared <br />in the Federal Register (Vol. 70,. No. 62, pg.16815) <br />on April 1, initiating the public comment period. <br />Due to typographical error in the contact phone <br />number, an amended notice of availability appeared <br />in the Federal Register on April 8, 2005 (Vol. 70, <br />No. 67, pg. 17995). The comment period closed on <br />May 16, 2005. <br />Letters received appear in their entirety. Part of a <br />transcript of comments made at the BLM's public <br />meeting (April 27, 2005) is also included. <br />Comments are identified with a bracket and <br />numbered consecutively by letter. Each letter was <br />given a number and each comment given a number. <br />Therefore, the fourth comment in letter 5 would be <br />labeled 5-4. Responses to the comments identified <br />appear on the opposing page. <br />The following indicate the letter number, the <br />comments, and the page on which it appears. <br />Letter Sender <br />Page <br />Letter 1 - Department of the Interior ...................................................................................................... 8-3 <br />Letter 2 - Mountain Coal Company ........................................................................................................ 8-5 <br />Letter 3 - Thunder Mountain Wheelers ................................................................................................ 8-13 <br />Letter 4 - Western Slope Environmental Resource Council ............................................................... 8-15 <br />Letter 5 - Environmental Protection Agency ........................................................................................ 8-21 <br />Letter 6 - Mountain Coal Public Testimony ......................................................................................... 8-33 <br />Letter 7 - Testimony from Public Hearing (April 27, 2005) ................................................................ 8-35 <br />Dry Fork Lease-By-Application FEIS 8-Y <br />
