system of trails that provides access to
the Ansel Adams and John Muir
Wildernesses and identifies the
appropriate maintenance and
management levels of the trail system
such that the wilderness values are
protected.
This proposal responds in part to the
Court Order of November 1, 2001, (and
modified January 10, 2002) which
requires that the Forest Service
complete a cumulative impacts analysis
within the NEPA process, and that it
consider limits on numbers of stock
animals used in conjunction with
commercial operators, limits on the
group size (both people and number of
stock both on and off trail), trail
suitability for various use types, and
designation of campsites for use by
commercial pack stations.
Proposed Action: To meet the purpose
and need, the Forest Service proposes to
amend the 2001 Ansel Adams, John
Muir, and Dinkey Lakes Wildernesses
Management Plan to provide further
standards and guidelines for
commercial pack stock activities. The
standards and guidelines proposed for
modification from existing Wilderness
Plan direction relate to use levels; trail
suitability for commercial pack stock
operations; grazing suitability and
utilization levels; and, use of campsites
and campfires. Currently, commercial
pack stock use accounts for
approximately 15% of total use in these
two wildernesses, with around 3500
people a year being serviced to over 400
destinations. The proposed action will
also establish a system of trails and trail
management levels for each system trail,
consistent with the desired condition of
areas within the two wildernesses as
identified in the 2001 Wilderness Plan
and Record of Decision. Approximately
960 miles of trails are being proposed to
be managed as a system trail.
Responsible Official: The responsible
officials are Jeffrey E. Bailey, Forest
Supervisor, Inyo National Forest, 351
Pacu Lane, Suite 200, Bishop, CA 93514
and Edward C. Cole, Forest Supervisor,
Sierra National Forest, 1600 Tollhouse
Road, Clovis, CA 93611.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review: The Forest
Service believes, at this early stage, it is
important to give reviewers notice of
several court rulings related to public
participation in the environmental
review process. First, reviewers of draft
environmental impact statements must
structure their participation in the
environmental review of the proposal so
that it is meaningful and alerts an
agency to the reviewer’s position and
contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear

Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553
(1978). Also, environmental objections
that could be raised at the draft
environmental impact statement stage
but that are not raised until after
completion of the final environmental
impact statement may be waived or
dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon
v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir.
1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v.
Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D.
Wis. 1980). Because of these court
rulings, it is very important that those
interested in this proposed action
participate by the close of the comment
period so that substantive comments
and objections are made available to the
Forest Service at a time when it can
meaningfully consider them and
respond to them in the final
environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in
identifying and considering issues and
concerns on the proposed action,
comments on the draft environmental
impact statement should be as specific
as possible. It is also helpful if
comments refer to specific pages or
chapters of the draft statement.
Comments may also address the
adequacy of the draft environmental
impact statement or the merits of the
alternatives formulated and discussed in
the statement. Reviewers may wish to
refer to the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for implementing
the procedural provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act at 40
CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.
Comments received, including the
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be considered part of the
public record on this proposal and will
be available for public inspection.
