Comment Requested
This notice of intent is part of the
scoping process that will guide the
development of the environmental
impact statement. The primary purpose
of scoping is to gather public comments,
issues, and concerns regarding the
proposed action. Comments, issues, and
concerns may be used to formulate
alternatives. Comments are most helpful
if they are as specific as possible and
relate to the proposed action. Comments
should include the name, address, and,
if possible, telephone number of the
commenter. Electronic comments must
be submitted as part of the actual e-mail
message, or as an attachment in plain
text (.txt), Microsoft Word (.doc), rich
text format (.rtf), or portable document
format (.pdf). Comments received in
response to this solicitation, including
the names and addresses of those who
comment, will be considered part of the
public record and will be available for
public inspection.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review
A draft environmental impact
statement will be prepared and made
available 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 important that
those interested in this proposed action
participate by the close of the 45-day

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 joints.
