Date: 08/19/2008 BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Shasta Trinity National Forest Seeks Comments on Motorized Routes
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
The Shasta-Trinity National Forest, located in northern California, is formulating a new travel plan that will limit ALL vehicle use to designated roads, trails and areas. On August 8, 2008, the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) was published in the Federal Register, beginning the formal NEPA (National Environmental Process Act) analysis for the Motorized Travel Management project.
The NOI initiates the scoping process, which guides the development of the EIS. The purpose of the NOI is to invite the public to participate in the Travel Management Project EIS analysis by providing comments about the proposal during the public scoping process. The Forest Service (FS) is asking for your input during the 30-day public scoping comment period, which will run through September 19, 2008.
Although comments are welcome throughout the planning process, providing your comments by September 19, 2008, will allow time for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest to consider the input during the analysis and in developing alternatives. Completion of the Draft EIS is expected in January 2009, and the Final EIS is expected in July 2009.
Copies of the Scoping Letter, Notices of Intent and Proposed Action Maps are available on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest website at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/shastatrinity/projects/st-main/trvl-mgmt/noi-8-6-08.shtml.
