This revision involves accessing exploration <br />drill holes on private and BLM lands using routes and roads on the national forest. <br />The roads and routes proposed by BRL were approved for their commercial use through their <br />Forest Service Road Use Permit. This permit expired in June 2002, and the GMUG is currently <br />working with BRL to renew this permit. BRL has indicated that no road upgrades are necessary. <br />Under the terms of the road use permit, BRL will be required to perform road maintenance and <br />repair activities at the direction of the Forest Service. Pertaining to BRLs use of the "Terror <br />Creek Descent", use of this route by full sized vehicles will require removal of steep water bars <br />adjacent to Terror Creek, and placement of a gate that must be kept closed and locked at all <br />times. The gate must be placed so that ATV traffic may pass along one side. The GMUG <br />authorizes this use for project related traffic only; no personal use by BRL employees is <br />permitted. <br />We request that BRL notify the GMUG 48 hours in advance if the drill rig will be mobilized to <br />the drill sites along Forest Service roads, and we request that BRL notify us at least 4 days in <br />advance of removing the water bars and placing the gate on the Terror Creek descent. <br />Please contact Liane Mattson at the above telephone number if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ J , <br />SUSAN J.
