BLM REPRESENTATIVES VISIT
Robert Turri and Ed Scherick met with the Commission to discuss a problem that Plateau
Resources is having in obtaining access on a road that goes through Park Service land
in the Mike's Canyon area. The BLM had been requested to make an environmental assessment
of the situation, which they have completed. They presented to the Commission three letters
of correspondance concerning the request of Plateau Resources to use the wash bottom
in Mikes's Canyon. The BLM's assessment stated that the impact of using the wash bottom
would be less than if they build a road across the ridge, which would also be a great
expense to Plateau. The Commission will write a letter on this and see if there is someway
they can helpin this situation.

Attn: Regional Director- Rocky Mountain Region Dear Sir:
The San Juan County Commission has closely examined the proposal by Plateau Resourses for use of the West Mike's Canyon access.
We completly agree with the environmental assessment as prepared, indicating there would probably be less negative impact if Plateau Resources would be granted authorization to use this access insted of having to construct a road actoss the steep ridge at a great expense.
We request that serious consideration be given to this request and that further development in San Juan County not be set back.
Respectfully,
/s/ E. S. Boyle
Chairman
San Juan County Commission
