OCT 0 41984 <br /> 201 Centennial St. <br /> Suite 406 MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVIS10P1 <br /> Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 C0I0. Dept. <br /> L of Natural Resources <br /> Dear George: <br /> This is to document the conclusions reached during the site visit to Huntsman <br /> Ridge with MCR, Inc. and Forest Service representative on September 6, 1984. <br /> The major decision which was agreed to was to drop the application for a new <br /> road alignment on National Forest lands going up to MCR, Inc. fee lands on <br /> top of Huntsman Ridge. Instead, the existing special use road will be <br /> reconstructed as needed to accommodate the drilling equipment MCR, Inc. <br /> will be using on top. No additional permit will be required. It was also <br /> agreed that prior to reconstruction, MCR, Inc. would discuss planned improve- <br /> ments with a US Forest Service Engineer and agree on 1) drainage and culvert <br /> requirements 2) surfacing requirements (if any) and 3) switchback widening. <br /> Upon completion of improvements, the Forest Service would again be notified <br /> for a post-work inspection of the road. <br /> On September 12, 1984, the pre-work site visit with a US Forest Service <br /> Engineer was made. Reconstruction and rehabilitation requirements were <br /> discussed and agreed to on site with the MCR, Inc. Engineer Tom Johansen. <br /> It was agreed that the Forest Service would be notified prior to work at <br /> one particular switchback so a US Forest Service Engineer could be on site <br /> during reconstruction activities. US Forest Service agreed to provide <br /> MCR, Inc. with culvert size requirements based on a US Forest Service <br /> drainage analysis. This information was phoned to you on September 14, <br /> 1984. <br /> While I am displeased with the condition of the existing road and the <br /> unauthorized work which took place last spring, I appreciate the cooperative <br /> attitude shown by you and other MCR, Inc. representatives during our recent <br /> � 0 O / _ _.Q . —� - - <br />
