This TR relocates two well pads and proposes access to 4 <br />pad locations. <br />The activities proposed in TR-121 lie within an inventoried roadless area (IRA). The Forest Service is <br />currently operating under Secretary's (of Agriculture) Memorandum 1042-154 in which the Secretary <br />reserves decision-making authority over road construction in IRAs. As a result, we must complete <br />consultation with the Secretary's office before we can take further action on this TR. This consultation <br />has begun, and we will keep you informed of its progress. <br />Please contact Ryan Taylor at 970-527-4131, or via email rztavlor@fs.fed.us with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />LEVI K.
