Tn n field visit on'January.30, 1998 we counted 18 test pits <br />' on the 158 acre parcel. ~ , <br />6: We cannot answer for the DMG (assuming .this is whc you mean by <br />_ •.the Board'). 'Ae have no such form from Mr. Stone on file in this. <br />office. ' <br />"..7.' - We have no specific mapping 1Slfozmation recording.the number.. <br />and location of test pits from.June 5, 1997. 47e have, however, <br />visited the .site and find that ,disturbance to the surface as a <br />result of the test pit operations is reasonable and no unnecessary <br />or undue degradation o£ resources has occurred. enclosed is a map <br />prepared by~our office which depicts .the apprcximate test 'pit <br />locations.. Theses are rot surveyed, but, are a bast estimate from. <br />ouz staff based on topographical relatio:unips.in the field. .based: <br />or_ .observations during cur most recent field visit, we would. <br />estimate the surface disturbance to be approximately 0.1 acre <br />disturbed with the operations. Dioturbanee.associaCed With each <br />.test pit varies from about 10' by 20' to 15' by 50' in sizes. Also <br />please note on the .enclosed map the reroute of the road in the <br />southwest corner of the parcel. The original road. (depicted .on the <br />VSOS topo9Zaphic map) was rerouted to the south for protection of <br />cultural resources, however the original alignment~is still visible <br />on the.~round. ., <br />As we have offered in tY.e past, we would welcome a field visit with <br />you :o the aite.in question. We stand ready at a time convenient <br />to ycu and SLM to look at these issues in the field and diocuss <br />this .natter with you further.. Tf you have any further questions or <br />to arrange a field meeting, please .do not liesitate to call me or <br />. Clyde'JOhnson at 970-267-6876.
