The content of TR -130 is minor changes to methane drainage wells and associated road <br />access in the E5 panel of the E -Seam Methane Drainage Wells Project on National Forest <br />System Lands. <br />Our review has found that this proposal is subject to the March 2008 Record of Decision (ROD) <br />for the E Seam Methane Drainage Wells Project and with Permit Revision 14 (PR -14). The <br />proposed changes in TR -130 are consistent with the design criteria to protect federal resources <br />found in these two documents and also consistent with returning the land to the post mining land <br />use of big game winter range and livestock grazing. <br />No additional conditions of approval are required to protect federal resources and to support the <br />post mining land uses as defined in the Forest Plan for the GMUG National Forest. <br />Please contact Ryan Taylor at 970 -527 -4131, or via email at rztaylorna fs.fed.us with any <br />questions or concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />LEVI K.
