These comments a-lso apply to other exploratory drill <br />hole sites which Basin may wish to access within or across <br />properties comprising Rancho Escondido. <br />The proposed Technical Revision concerns an additional ten <br />exploration holes which are planned to be drilled. We have the <br />following comments: <br />1. The access routes shown on the maps submitted by Basin do not <br />generally exist on the ground. To the extent there may have <br />been pre-existing trails in those locations, they have <br />completely reverted to nature. Access along the routes <br />proposed by Basin would cause irreparable and unnecessary <br />environmental harm. <br />2. Raton West has established an adequate road network to allow <br />access reasonably close to any desirable drill hole location. <br />This road network is adequately shown on Basin's Surface <br />Ownership Map as revised March 8, 1993, which has been <br />submitted to the Division. (Copy of pertinent part enclosed.) <br />3. Basin Resources has no legitimate or rational reason to insist <br />on drilling exploration holes at precisely the proposed <br />locations. There can be a variation of a few hundred feet as <br />necessary so that access can be over existing roads. This <br />Hiwid a Fr~rld Apr. <br />
