Lung <br />Urvivnn Durrini <br />RE: Eagle 5 & 9 Mines, (C-81-044) Offsite Mitigation Potentials with BLM Projects <br />Dear Mr. Terrell Johnson: <br />During my inspection of the Eagle 5 and 9 Mines on July 29, 195'3 we discussed the <br />potentials for conducting offsite mitigation measures by Cyprus-Empire assisting the U.S. <br />Bureau of Land Reclamation with reseeding the Sunbeam/Maybell burn. Although the <br />Division is not opposed to the concept, agreement with BLM plans and concurrence with <br />the Division of Wildlife is critical. <br />I contacted Mr. John Husband, Area Manager of U.S. Bureau of Land Management Little <br />Snake Management Area. He said BLM would be willing to consider this type of proposal <br />on other projects. Due to time constraints and the critical need to seed the burned area this <br />fall Mr. Husband felt this particular project would not be a candidate for this kind of <br />cooperative effort. He said that the BLM would be willing to entertain future proposals that <br />meet with BLM plans and goals. Adequate advance planning would be necessary to assure <br />concurrence with the various agencies involved, Division of Wildlife, Livision of Minerals <br />and Geology, BLM, and any other affected agencies. <br />Although this particular mitigation idea does not appear practical for the BLM, I welcome <br />the innovative idea and am open to discussing future proposals with you. Feel free to <br />contact me if you have questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />Janet . BI s <br />Recla atio Specialist <br />m:\coal\jhb\C81044\offsite <br />
