road construction to facilitate timber
removal. An estimated 2.2 miles of
temporary roads would be constructed
and obliterated following completion of
sale related activities. Watershed
restoration activities would consist of an
estimated 11.6 miles of road
decommissioning, an estimated 13.7
miles of existing roads put into
intermittent storage (self-maintaining),
and the decompaction of approximately
190 acres of old skid trains and
landings.
The Possible Alternatives the Forest
Service will consider include the ‘‘no
action’’ alternative in which none of the
proposed activities would be
implemented. Additional alternatives
being considered examine varying levels
and locations for the proposed activities
to achieve the proposal’s purpose and
need, as well as to respond to the issues
and other resource concerns.
The Responsible Official is the Forest
Supervisor of the Clearwater National
Forest, 12730 Highway 12, Orofino, ID
83544. The Responsible Official will
decide if the proposed project will be
implemented and will document the
decision and reasons for the decision in
a Record of Decision. That decision will
be subject to Forest Service Appeal
Regulations. The responsibility for
preparing the DEIS and FEIS has been
delegated to Cindy Lane, District
Ranger, Lochsa Ranger District, Rt. 1
Box 398, Kooskia, ID 83539.
The Scoping Process was initiated
with the release of a Scoping Letter on
February 10, 2004. Comments received
as a result of that effort will be included
in the documentation for the EIS.
Additional scoping will follow the
release of the DEIS, expected in
December 2005. This proposal also
includes openings greater than 40 acres.
A 60-day public review period and
approval by the Regional Forester for
exceeding the 40 acre limitation will
occur prior to the signing of the Record
of Decision. The 60-day public review
period is initiated with this Notice of
Intent.
Preliminary Issues that could be
affected by proposal activities include:
air quality; economics; grazing; heritage
resources; old growth habitat; recreation
access; risk of landslides; scenic quality;
size of openings; snag habitat; spread of
noxious weeds; threatened, endangered
and sensitive species of wildlife, fish

and plants; tribal treaty rights; and
water quality.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review: A draft
environmental impact statement will be
prepared for comment. The comment
period on the draft environmental
impact statement will be 45 days from
the date the Environmental Protection
Agency publishes the notice of
availability in the Federal Register.
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 45day 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.
