• What mitigation, if any, is
necessary?
Scoping Process
Scoping is an ongoing activity
throughout the planning process. An
important part of scoping is
identification of public concerns and/or
unresolved issues. A copy of this Notice
of Intent will be mailed to people and
organizations on the White River
National Forest’s mailing list that have
indicated a specific interest in the area
around Crooked Creek Reservoir. The
public will be notified of any meetings
regarding this proposal by mailings and
or press releases sent to applicable
newspapers and other media. At this
time there are not any meetings planned
for this proposed action.
Preliminary Issues
The following issues related to the
proposed action have been identified:
• Raising the water level may
increase the dam hazard rating. While
repairing the dam may reduce the
probability of a failure, the downstream
impact of a failure may increase. A dam
failure could impact NFSR 400, NFSR
105 and a residence located at the
confluence of Lime Creek and the
Frying Pan River.
• Raising the water level of the
reservoir may impact historical and
cultural resources and wetlands in the
geographic area.
Permits or Licenses Required
The Forest Service will need to obtain
a 404 Permit. Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act requires approval by the
Army Corps of Engineers prior to the
construction of dams and weirs, riprap
placement and road fills in order to
protect the nation’s waterways.
Comment Requested
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process under NIEPA, which
guides the development of the EIS.
Comments concerning the scope of this
project should be received on or before
May 30, 2008. The forest’s desire is to
receive comments on the merits of the
Proposed Action, as well as comments
that address errors, misinformation, or
information that has been omitted.
Comments should have a direct
relationship to the proposal and include
supporting reasons for the Responsible
Official’s consideration.
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:17 May 01, 2008
Jkt 214001
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 reviewers 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 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.
