UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE <br /> FOREST SERVICE <br /> White River National Forest <br /> • Sopris Ranger District <br /> P.O. Box 248 <br /> Carbondale CO 81623 2800 <br /> October 14, 1980 <br /> r _ <br /> Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. I As <br /> Attn: Mr. George E. Wear <br /> P.O. Box 1334 <br /> 818 Colorado Avenue <br /> Glenwood Springs CO 81601 <br /> Dear Mr. Clear: <br /> In response to your September 16, 1980 letter and a letter from <br /> Diane Delaney dated August 8, 1980, I have listed the following <br /> information. <br /> I and Acting Forest Supervisor George Morris see no conflict with <br /> your proposed post mining land use and Forest Service land manage- <br /> ment direction for the area. Your post mining use permit is so <br /> far down the road, however, that it is difficult to say what con- <br /> ditions would be at that time. The ski area proposal would have <br /> • to follow the Colorado Review Process which involves several <br /> government entities and would require extensive involvement by <br /> the Forest. This letter is not an approval of a specific project, <br /> therefore, but does assure you that your basic post mining .use <br /> does not conflict with our land management direction.. <br /> You had also asked for resource information. There are no plans <br /> to harvest timber in the area because of marginal timber stands, <br /> steep slopes, and access problems. There are also no plans to <br /> develop facilities concerned with recreation. Marc Bosch, District <br /> Wildlife Biologist, has prepared a summary of the range and wild- <br /> life situation and history which is attached to this letter. <br /> If I can help you in any further ways, please let me know. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> JACK G. TROYER <br /> District Ranger <br /> Enclosure <br /> 6200-11 (1169) <br /> 33 <br />
