After researching more I did find that the overlay was 1.5 -inches in depth and went from Cr. 332 for 1.6 miles. We ended just past the entrance to Rifle Village South or Cr. 357A. This explains why I could not find the 1.6 miles. This statement was paid by Garfield County with no funds from Intermountain Logging. Hope this helps. Jake B.

I have prepared the following summary of my observations made during my visit to the parcel on February 6, 2003 that you have ben harvesting timber on. Weaccessed the property via the new road that was constructed by Intarmountaia Resources. Read design was similar to roads I have observed on other private properties. The graveled portion of the new mad on the west side of Beaver Creek will provide additional protection to the drainage thrnugb reduction of sediment movement. Culvert installations appeased to he adequate for the local ciinditions, The harvesting I observed was in slimes -fir fort type. All harvested areas I viewed had slopes Less than 50% and were well suited to conventional ground basad lagging systems (rubber tired skidticrs and tractors). The selective harvest being conducted should favor Engelmann Spruce reproduction over sub -alpine fix. Thinning of the si.inda will decrease their susceptibility to attack from Spruce Bark Boat; Western Balsam Bark Beetle end improve overall forest health The intern slope has areas with endemic and epidemic populations of these insects. Sprue Bark Beetles are at epidemic levels in the area of the Routt Blowdown_ and . of the slash is neces habitat for these risk reduce the breeding astrophic crown fire is also so rr educed through application afihis treatment. When the harvesting operation is completed for the winter season monitoring of the site should continue. The drainage structures should be maintained to insure they remain functional. dT3e narkeiraking 'a place on this property appy to be well planned and the quality of Ily, 7o A.

Hill asked me to send you my impressiorts of the marking job coed to elate_ The arra marked was located in a stand of nixed sprocc-fir timber near the top of the east drainage of Porcupine Croat Road coustniction to the proposed harvest area appears to be near completion Trees to be harvested have been marked whit blue paint at DBH (4.5 foot height) and at the stump. Mr. Gberarth ileac tlbcd the meriting as an "initial entry sthelterwood eut", as described in the forret managazirpt plan completed 1 for this property in 1996_ The tmlbcr marking 1 inspected is io line with a sheltcrwood Cut prescription. This is the most commonly used awing scheme m old growth sprucc--r stands, and abould work well in this particular application. It appears that 30-40 percent oldie basal area of the stand has been =deed for removal in this initial cut. Dead and poorly - formed trees, as well as trees damaged by fur or wpseeei have been marked_ It appears that an effort has been made to select subalpine fir trees (the lass merchantable species) and speru a tree's from all size classes for =larval, tad to favor the better -formed spruce for retention as seed trees mretma this initial entry.

Kelly Rogers Assistant District Forester Colorado State Forest Service, thnod Junction District (970) 24$-7325 10/29/200/ 41- Rifle torn on proposed dulling By DENNIS WEBB The Derry Seminar RIFLE — A Denver-based en- ergy company says it will take extra steps to protect a drink- ing water source for the city of Rifle when it begins drilling up Beaver Creek as soon as this year. The plans by Black Diamond Minerals LLC continue to worry some Rifle City Council members, despite the council's approval of a watershed permit for the project south of town. "It's got the potential to. be a huge impact on us if they don't do it right," council member Alan Lambert said. The company initially plans to drill four wells on the 4,322 - acre Teepee Park Ranch, which it purchased. Two would be from a well pad within the wa- tershed. The company hopes to do further drilling on the prop- erty if initial results warrant it, said Robert Vincent, Black Diamond's vice president of operations. Beaver Creek is Rifle's oldest and most pristine water source, Lambert said. Only council member Jen- nifer Sanborn voted against ap- Lambertts id he felt oe vvatershed bligated to agree to the permit because an engineer working for the city concluded the project would have only a minor int- pact on the watershed. Vincent said Black Diamond shares the city's desire to pro- tect the watershed. "We want to do the things we can do to make the City Council comfortable with this project," he said. He said the company didn't object to any of the engineer's recommended conditions for approving the permit. One condition is to use a closed-loop system rather than open pits for handling drilling mud, if that proves viable at the 9,000 - foot elevation where drilling will occur. Citing spills from drilling pits into Garden Gulch near Para- chute over the winter, Lambert said he wants to see closed-loop drilling used. Vincent said the company most likely will use a closed-loop system, although he noted the systems require the use of tanks, which aren't immune to spills. Lambert worries about the possibility of drilling trucks driving off the road and spilling fluids into the creek. Vincent said Black Diamond is looking at recycling vv tez- to l duce truck_7frr, ps.. Also, it has obtained Garfield County approval to mine shale on the property for use on roads and well pads, to eliminate the need for delivery of gravel by trucks. The company probably will use a pipeline to transport petroleum condensates off the ranch, rather than using trucks, Vincent said, That would mean no oil tanks will be needed on the property, he said. Unlike Alan Lambert, Rifle Mayor Keith Lambert voiced a fair level of comfort with the project. "Not being a water expert, I have to trust those . who are, and our water people seem to be pretty confident that every- thing is going to be done cor- rectly," he said. Terry Broughton lives on nearby County Road 320 and has had longtime concerns about the Teepee Park property, including the status of access to national forest lands, and slash piles that were left over from logging on the ranch and could lead to beetle infestations. Now he worries what drilling -related activity might do to the domes- tic water he and neighbors get from the creek. "It's my only water. 1 don't have a well. There's two or three of us that don't have a well, so it kind of affects us," he said.
