stipulations require surveys and mitigation, if needed. <br />b) On page 7, under Proposed Low-volume Road and InaresslEgress, MCC should <br />recognize that except for mobilization/demobilization of the drill rig, low-boy for <br />heavy equipment, and other large equipment, all project traffic (including <br />contractor traffic) will be utilizing the Sylvester Gulch Road. <br />c) On page 8, under Reclamation Plan. MCC: should state that roads/pads will be <br />decommissioned or reclaimed as specified in the FS Decision on the associated <br />environmental analysis for activities on national forest system (NFS) lands. <br />Under point 43, this should also include roads. On page 11, point 97, should read <br />something to the effect of, "The low volume roads (which will be temporary), if <br />required to be decommissioned by obliteration in the FS decision document, will <br />be reclaimed....", as not all the project low volume roads will be obliterated, <br />rather the FS identified some may be decommissioned to ATV trails to support <br />the post-mining land use. <br />d) As an attachment to the TR, MCC included the US.FS Road Use Permit for MCC. <br />The Sylvester Gulch Road is not yet covered by the Permit, we encourage MCC <br />to request its addition as soon as possible. <br />e) Also, we wish to make a clarification that we are currently working with MCC on <br />the Project Map submitted with the TRs. There are several items that are not <br />consistent with the Environmental Impact Statement that the USFS produced. <br />MCC will be submitting a more accurate map as part of the adequacy <br />review; response. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Kaldenbach <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />copies via email to: Daniel 1.
