MEMBERS: BE ALERT!
VEHICULAR USAGE ON TRAIL


*********************************************************************

Received a message from Mike Brady that the gas well drilling company met with Headwaters Trust and agreed to the following:


•The gas company will start drilling during the week of 10/29/07.
•The gas company will remove the southern most gate at Tarman Crossing and place it down the trail approximately .7 tenths of a mile where it will stay permanently.
•The gas company will also place another gate on the old woods trail near Black Moshannon Creek to prevent people from driving up the trail along the creek. This gate is near the installation of the relocation gate.
•The drilling company will utilize the SSRTA to the drilling site until well is completed in this area.
•The drilling company will use old woods road along the creek to maintain well if successful.

According to the message from the drilling company. They plan to restore the trail to it's present condition using 2B Stone for surface once completed with drilling.


According to the message from the drilling company, they will not be using the SSRTA once completed.


I am sorry to say and I apogize for the quick decision and unsafe conditions this creates without having a plan in place for proper notification of membership. A plan should have been discussed and proper signage in place prior to any vehicular usage.
