RE: Blackfoot-Clearwater Wildlife Management Area 

 50th Anniversary Project-Phase II Land Exchanges 

 Draft Environmental Impact Statement 



Dear Mr. Storer: 



This letter is intended to serve as the formal response of Monroe Property Company to the Draft Environmental 

 Impact Statement (hereinafter DEIS) prepared regarding the Blackfoot-Clearwater Wildlife Management Area (50"' 

 Anniversary Project-Phase 1 1 Land Exchanges). I am directing my comments to you, as to-date you have been the 

 contact person with whom I have communicated on behalf of Monroe Property Company. 1 am also directing a 

 copy of this letter to the attention of Kathy O'Connor of your office as I understand that she is in charge of 

 compiling comments and information received regarding the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. 



As you know, I contacted you by telephone on Friday, April 27* when 1 first learned that the Draft Environmental 

 Impact Statement had been issued. I learned that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement had been issued from 

 Debby Dils of the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. This occurred after 1 had learned by virtue of a purely 

 coincidental conversation with another land agent for the Department with whom 1 had been communicating on an 



BGWMA Land Exchanges Final Environmental Impact Statement 29
