RE: Letter from Grand County Regarding Proposed Master Leasing Plan
Amendments to 2008 Moab Resource Management Plan (RMP)
Gentlemen and Ms. Smith:
We are writing to rescind the letter you received from Grand County dated June 26, 2012. The letter was sent without going through the public process and was never approved by the Grand County Council as a whole. We look forward to continuing as Cooperating Partners as you go through the Master Leasing Plan Amendments Process and apologize for any inconvenience this letter may have caused.
Sincerely yours,
Gene L. Ciarus, Chair
Grand County Council
