In MR -93, two (2) gob ventilation boreholes would be drilled on existing drill pads on National Forest (NF) Lands. As a <br />result of our review of the adequacy of measures to protect federal resources and the post mining land use, we identified <br />that the project impacts are similar to that as analyzed in Oxbow's previous TR -64 and TR -65. Attached list of conditions <br />are needed to protect federal resources and support the post mining land use of aspen management, as defined by the <br />GMUG forest plan, which are identical to the conditions submitted for the previous TRs. <br />Of note is that several conditions relate to operations in an inventoried roadless area (IRA). These are needed to satisfy <br />direction we received to minimize entry into, and alteration of the inventoried roadless area. As part of our review, we <br />assessed that no new road construction or surface disturbance is necessary in the inventoried roadless area. <br />Please contact me with any questions you may have. <br />Regards, <br />Ryan <br />Ryan Z.
