Box 928 Meeker, Colorado 81641 June 16, 1995 Garfield County Board Of County Commissioners Planning Department 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, CO. 81601 Dear Commissioners, 5000 This letter is in response to Chris Halandras' application for a Special Use Permit for a logging operation. The Bureau of Land Management does not object to the harvest of timber from Mr. Halandras' private lands. The bureau is an adjacent landowner, and the public lands contain significant timber resources. We are concerned about the possibility of encroachment of harvest onto the public lands. When the bureau conducts a timber sale adjacent to private lands, the boundaries are surveyed and marked. We make every effort to prevent trespass problems with our neighbors. We believe we should be afforded the same consideration. If the County Commissioners have the authority to require the boundaries be surveyed and marked, prior to harvest, we would appreciate this requirement be included in the permit. Thank you for notifying this office and allowing the opportunity for comment. If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact Bob Fowler here at the Meeker office. (970)878-3601 CC: Chris Halandras Sincerely, 4 -LP William Hill Area Manager 410 United States Forest White River ifle Ranger District Department of Service National 0094 County Rd 244 Agriculture Forest Rifle, CO 81650 Reply to: 5400 Date: June 19, 1995 Garfield County Planning Department Mr. Mark Bean Garfield County Courthouse 109 8th Street Glenwood Springs, CO 81650 Dear Mark: This letter is in reference to a public notice we received from Chris Halandras regarding a special use permit to log private lands. Proposed logging in Sections 29 and 32 will border National Forest lands on the eastern boundary in both sections. Prior to the logging operation beginning along this boundary we strongly urge that a survey be completed so that there is no cutting on National Forest lands. Cutting National Forest timber is a serious trespass and could result in fines and/or prison sentences. The applicant has not applied to the U.S. Forest Service for a right-of-way across National Forest so no log hauling or access across Forest Road 837 (located in Section 33), should occur. Finally although we have no jurisdiction in this matter, there may be some heritage resources along the old Ute Stock Driveway which are worth recording and protecting. A quick survey of the area should indicate if this is the case. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact Cindy Hockelberg or myself at 625-2371. Sincerely, k;, TERRY . WOOD Distri Ranger cc: Jim Byers, Bureau of Land Management February 1, 1997 Ms. Stella Archuleta Planning Technician Garfield County Building and Planning Dept. 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 Ms. Archuleta: FEB 0.6 1997. We have received your letter of January 28, 1997 regarding the Special Use Permit Aprroval for logging operations on the Chris Halandras property located near Rio Blanco. Due to matters out of our control, namely weather, we have been unable to complete this timber sale with Mr. Halandras under the original termination date of March 15th, 1997. We will be extending this timber sale agreement with Mr. Halandras through March 15, 1998. Enclosed you'll find copies of this amendment and a cover letter recently sent to Mr. Halandras by our office. All the original terms and conditions of the timber sale agreement stay in effect with this extension. In looking at the terms and conditions of the permit with Garfield County, we believe that all items covered under this document have completed with the exception of the completion of the harvesting of the original 150 acres. We tentatively plan to complete all logging operations by hunting season, 1997. Final burning of the brush piles will take place in the Fall and Winter of 1997. Please go ahead and extend the permit through March 15, 1998 under the terms and conditions you have stated in this document. Should you require us to formally extend the road bond termination date, please feel free to contact us and we will do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Respect lly, lo urce Manager cc. file February 1, 1997 Mr. Chris Halandras 67224 Highway 64 Meeker, Colorado 81641 Dear Chris: Enclosed you'll find two copies of an Amendment to Contract form we need you to sign to extend the Stumpage Purchase Agreement through 1997. This will allow us to complete all harvesting and cleanup operations on your Rio Blanco property as we discussed this past Fall. Please sign both copies and return them to me at the following address: Tim Kyllo Louisiana-Pacific P.O. Box 763 Delta, Colorado 81416 Corporation Once I receive the signed copies I'll forward them on to Hayden Lake, Idaho for final signature by the company. We'll send you a signed original copy when we get everything back from our Division office. Our plans are to start logging operations as soon as weather and ground conditions permit. My guess is this will be in mid-June if your sheep operation allows. We plan to use Harvey Gray again to complete the sale and we'll hopefully wrap things up by hunting season. We'd like to do some burning of the brush piles this Spring. We couldn't get up on the property this Winter to do any burning of brush piles due to the heavy snowfall but it doesn't hurt to let the piles dry out even more. It'll simply mean a better burn. Also, you'll find enclosed in this package a copy of Garfield County's Special Use Permit Approval form for the harvesting of timber from your property. You recall we had to file for special permission to log your place. This is simply a document that asks us if we have completed all contractual requirements on the permit and the timber sale. Since we are extending your contract, we'll have to extend this permit as well. We'll take care of this issue but we thought you'd like to have a copy. Call me if you have any questions and we'll see you if the Spring.

Both ourselves, and the Forest Servide stopped your contractind agents hauling on this road. Due t10 this fact the road suffered some severe road damade It is situations like this that gives both a blackeye and will force the county to take a hard look at future haulinfl activities you might be assoGiated wth, We would: like to ask you r.)1.e .,vd7,,z.'n on yoL,r contractors in the -Future so that doe not 1 :'OU have any questicn, .ease do me at my office.
