prerequisite for eligibility to appeal
under the 36 CFR part 215 regulations.
The final EIS is scheduled to be
completed in June 2008. In the final EIS,
the Forest Service will respond to
comments received during the comment
period that pertain to the environmental
consequences discussed in the draft EIS
and applicable laws, regulations, and
policies considered in making the
decision.
Comment Requested
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. 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.
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 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 environmental
impact 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
