Dear Editor, I am writing to you today because of the Bridger Teton National Forest. I am reaching out to you and appealing to you as a conservationist. I believe that this large area of land can be very useful because of the resources it can provide. It can provide gas and oil so this way we don’t have to be dependent on it from others around the world. We don’t have to rely on foreign sources when it comes to this. There are many concerns if we do start this process in the Forest. What I can tell you is that before anything will be done they will have to go through a process. This means that they will need to evaluate and look at the risk that it may cause around the area and as well as the harm it may cause others. This is called a risk assessment. There are four kinds of risk assessment to help with this evaluation. The first step is called hazard identification. This is when they make an assessment base on what health problems are causing the pollutant. The second step is dose response. This is when they look into it and see what the different health problems are with the different exposures. The third step in the risk assessment would be exposure. This is when they are looking back on things to see how many people would be exposed and how much of the pollutant will be exposed around people. The fourth step in the risk assessment process would be risk characterization. When you have evaluated everything you want to really see what would be the extra risk of health problems for the exposed population. As you can see when all these steps in the risk assessment have been met the risk of health problems would be evaluated. They will not put people at harm if they know they are being exposed to pollutants that will make them sick. So, by explaining these to you that we should be able to conserve the forest and use it to our advantage. It can
