Comment Requested
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process which guides the
development of the EIS. Comments
submitted during the scoping process
should be in writing or e-mail, and
should be specific to the proposed
action. The comments should describe
as clearly and completely as possible
any point of dispute, debate or
disagreement the commentater has with
the proposed action. Once scoping
letters are received, all potential issues
will be identified to analyze in depth,
and a reasonable range of alternatives
will be developed to address those
significant issues. Potential
environmental effects of the proposed
action as well as alternatives will be
analyzed in the EIS.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review: A draft
environmental impact statement (as part
of a joint EIR/EIS) will be prepared for
comment. The comment period on the
draft EIS 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 45-day
comment period for the draft EIS 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.

21).
