" This "limited" designation restricts the route to Class 1 e-bikes and below (mountain bike, foot, horsc) on the use hierarchy. BLM will work with Silverton Singletrack Society and San Juan County to construct and maintain a parking lot and restroom facility to accommodate users ofthe new trail system. BLM will also provide adequate dircctional, regulatory, and informational signage. This authorization is spccific to the proposed footprint of the Bakers Park trail system as analyzed in the 2020 Silverton Travel Management Plan EA. Sipcerely, / bn * Jon F.

WYOMING ASEK : DESONTEATERES penerii Seasonal openings W ould be implemnented on routes as needed to protect trail tread and ocher resource values information signs and kiosks would be installed to direct people to designated parking, campsites, and trails, Educational information would be developed to mitigate human use resource issues that arise, Interpretive signing may be installed in any location as needed. Directional signage would be provided to direct users to the appropriate route. All new trail construction or reroutes woulj follow International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) trail guidelines and standards to provide high quality trails. These include but are not limited to: 1. A trail's grade should not exceed balf the grade ofthe hillside or side slope where it is located unless located on suitable surface (i.e., bedrock); 2. An averaget trail grade of 10% or less is most sustainable. 3. Maximum trail grade should not exceed 10-20% and should be based on considerations such as soil type, number and type of users, and annual rainfall. 4. Frequent grade reversals (such as rolling dips, drainage dips, etc.) should be used to promote drainage of water; and 5. Trail tread should be out sloped where appropriate to encourage water to sheet across and off ofthe trail. Wildlife - Migratory Birds: Routes would be constructed outside of the migratory bird nesting season or site clearance would be completed prior to construction. Wildlife - Canada lynx Information would be provided for trail crews that includes identification oflynx denning habitat and what to do ifa a trail crew encounters a den. A site clearance would be completed for possible denning areas before any construction work occurring prior to July 15th. Cultural; All new trail construction would be designed to avoid historic properties. Inadvertent Discovery: The NHPA [16 USC 470s., 36 CRF 800.13] requires that if newly discovered historic or arch areological materials or other cultural resources are identified during implementation, work in that area must stop and the BLM Authorized Officer (AO) must be notificd immediately. Within five working days the AO would determine actions that would need to be completed before the project may continue. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) requires that if inadvertent discovery ofNative American human remains or cultural items, all activity must cease in the area of discovery, a reasonable effort made to protect the item(s) discovered, and immediate notice be made to the BLM Authorized Officer, as well as the appropriate Native American group(s) (IV,C.2). Notice may be followed by a 30-day delay (NAGPRA Section 3(d)), while the BLM completes its responsibilitics under NAGPRA. The BLM project proponent is responsible for informing all persons who are associated with the project operations that they would be subject to prosecution for knowingly disturbing historic or archaeological sites, or for collecting artifacts. Strict adherence to the confidentiality ofinformation conceming the nature and location of archeological resources would be required of the BLM project proponent and all of their subcontractors (Archaeological Resource Protection Act, 16 U.S.C. 470hh). BAKERS PARK PROJECT DESIGN EATURES Palcontological: Increased monitoring ofthese areas would occur and ifi impacts to palcontological sites continuc, additional mitigation measures would be implemented. Mitigations may include: 1. Fencing of a resource 2. Signage 3. Intensive documentation by a permitted palcontologisl. New routes would be constructed to avoid paleontological resources. panapwclandaguaties Agency actions should avoid or otherwise mitigate long-term adverse impacts to riparian areas and wetlands.

The Bonita Peak Mining District Local Planning Group is providing clarification and sharing the NOTICE for a public comment period where your input is sought. The NOTICE is associated with the invitation for Public Comment on the Settlement and Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree under the CERCLA Natural Resources Damages component of Supertund. W'hen reviewing the Proposed Consent Decree it is important to understand the Settlement for Natural Resources Damages (NRD) is separate and distinct from the settlement negotiations the United States, State of Colorado, Sunnyside Gold Corporation and Kinross Gold Corporation are currently conducting concerning non-Natural Resource Damages. More specifically, The United States -including EPA -is not a party to the recent settlement between the State of Colorado and Sunnyside Gold Corporation regarding natural resource damages (NRD) associated with the Gold King Mine and Bonita Peak Mining District (BPMD) Superfund Site. The United States, the State of Colorado, Sunnyside Gold Corporation, and Kinross Gold Corporation have separately reached a settlement in principle to resolve other non- NRD environmental claims associated with the Gold King Mine release and the BPMD Site. If this separate settlement 1S finalized, all stakeholders will have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed agrcement during a formal public comment period. The Local BMPD Planning Group anticipates if this separate settlement is finalized for the non- NRD environmental claims, it will be for a significantly greater amount than the Proposed Consent Decree for Natural Resources Damages. The public may comment on the Proposed Consent Decree through January 18, 2021 Via the process described below. mtpslmatgoage.commalNona-tasmusephwadhwalsemhasePSATONSSAONEMcbsimemAA3A719155874. 1/2 2/11/21, 1* 03AW San suan County Mail BPMD SETTLEMENT NOTICE AND CLARIFICATION Thc po sedc Asenricciee E4e SGC.

This agreement was reached as a matter of practicality, with no admission of liability or wrongdoing, and limits SGC's future liability for potential environmental claims in relation to the BPMD. SGC never owned or operated the Gold King mine and was not at fault for the August 2015 EPA-caused spill. We are pleased to resolve this matter and to see funds going toward further efforts to improve water quality rather than protracted potential litigation. SGC has a long and positive history of improving water quality in the Animas River and this agreement will further that legacy. Thank you.

After a 2-year absence, we had a very successful event this year. Logistically, we had no major medical emergencies, no search nor rescues and no organizational issues at all!l! Our runner tracking system allowed friends, family and the general public to track runners as they moved along the course. More importantly, the personal side oft this year's S run was full of things to feel good about! Course conditions this year were perfect! We had a very high percentage of finishers (77%, as opposed to the average 61%) Our first male finisher (Francois D'haene (France) ran the fastest time ever on the Hardrock course (21 hours, 45 min, 50 seconds) Our first female finisher (Sabrina Stanley (Silverton, CO)) defended her women's crown by finishing 6th overal!l and missed the women' s course record by less than 3 minutes. Kirk Apt (Fruita, CO) became first runner in our history to amass 25 Hardrock finishes, We had 26 finishers over the age of 50,7 over the age of 60 and 2 over the age of 70, led by Rick Hodges who finished his 12th Hardrock at the age of 72! We had over 350 volunteers helping make sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable time while visiting the San Juans We contributed over $4,000 to local students through our Joel Zucker Scholarship program. All in all, it was great weekend and we'd like to thank you for being a part of it!! Ifyou'd like a complete picture of Hardrock, you can visit our website (hardrock100.com) or visit us on Facebook at "Hardrock Hundred Endurance Run" or Instagram (hardrockl00run) We're already busy planning for 2022 (July 15-17).

For: December 15 Board of County Commissioners Meeting. From: Town/County Planning Director. Regarding: Summary of Recent Town/County Planning Department Work. - The December 14 San Juan Regional Planning Commission packet was completed last week. That includes two County applications, and two Town applications. On the agenda is a Preliminary-Final Plat, for al Proposed Town Subdivision, called Reese Street Townhomes, currently under construction at the corner of 5th & Reese. Also on the agenda is a proposed AT&T generator and propane tank, located on Town-owned land leased to American Tower Management, at the cell phone tower site, which is within the Town's Avalanche Hazard Overlay District. Two County applications are on the Planning Commission agenda, one for a proposal at Howardsville, one for a proposal at the former North Star Mine site. The County Commissioners will probably be considering those two County applications in January. The Town and County Staff has been working on several ongoing community-wide projects. That includes trying to get some additional affordable housing started, on some of the vacant Lots, at the County's Anvil Mountain Subdivision. That will probably end up being Town-sponsored, grant-funded, construction of several townhome- and apartment-buildings. on Lots that the County would sell to the Town. The Town is also pursuing additional funds for some adjacent vacant parcels, and discussing the steps for an upcoming Annexation. Another Planning Department community project is writing two new Ordinances, one for the Town, one for the County, regarding proposed maximum building footprints/square footages/sizes. Also the Town was recently awarded a grant for an expert to review Staff-proposed changes to the Town Municipal Code, specifically the Zoning section. Over the holidays, Town staff will begin "redlining" the Municipal Code, and eventually we will give those proposed code changes to the expert for advice. (All proposed code changes will of course eventually go to the various Boards/citizens for several Public Hearings.) The Town staffi is also currently working on a proposed summer-employee, workforce housing, Proposed RV Park proposal. Town staffi is also working on the design for a new bathroom structure at Columbine Park on Blair Street. Town staff is also working with the non-profit agency Community Builders, who is managing proposed updates to the 2010 Town/County Master Plan. We have also been finalizing the new Town/County Floodplain Maps, with a recent meeting with FEMA/CWCB personnel last week, to go over their last minute changes to the new, draft Town and County Floodplain FEMA Maps (which can be viewed at abnadhpadmppngcum, Most or all of these various Town and County community-wide projects will probably end up on the January 18 Planning Commission agenda - We have many upcoming Town and County applications, currently being reviewed by Town/County staff, most of which are somewhat incomplete, including: some proposed re-grading/gates on two developed sites in the County, two unrelated proposed cabins on two separate mining claims in the County, a proposed in-Town street abandonment, two structures proposed on Lime Creek Road (and several other applications). Proposed grading and utility work was administratively reviewed/condtionally approved for a Lot Owner at Cole Ranch Subdivision, as the proposed improvements were in compliance with what the County required when the Subdivision was approved in 2001. The applicant has several documents to submit to County staff, before being permitted to begin construction of a proposed septic system, water well, driveways, culverts, and underground electric line. The permit documents are available upon request.
