We noted <br />that the information regarding the rangeland resource on National Forest <br />System lands is somewhat dated. Conditions have changed on both allotments <br />discussed at 2.04-8 through 2.04-15 since input for the Mine Plan was <br />provided. We are presently preparing an Allotment Management Plan (AMP) for <br />the old Minnesota Allotment which is now included 1n the West Elk Allotment. <br />The Dry Fork Allotment has an updated AMP from 1988. <br />If this updated information 1s needed, it can be made available preferably <br />later in the year when the new West Elk AMP is completed. <br />We have no other comments on the Mining and Reclamation Plan at this time. <br />Sincerely. <br />/~1~c1 ~,~L~'~-~~ <br />Ray L.
