ISSUES NOT CARRIED FORWARD IN THE ANALYSIS <br />The following issues were determined [o be out of the scope of this project, or not <br />affected by the proposed action. <br />1. Effects of the proposed drilling and road reopening and construction on cultural <br />resources. <br />A cultural resources sun~ey was completed for the project area. No cultural resources <br />were found, and the likelihood of culnu-al resources to be present in the project areas <br />was considered to be erU-emely low. The poteruia! conditions ofapproval in ,9ppendi.r B <br />includes a provision for reporting if cultural resources are encountered. <br />
