2. Clarify the roles and responsibilies
held by the Forest Service, the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and
private mineral owners in regard to the
protection of surface resources during
the development of reserved and
outstanding oil and gas, by replacing
applicable sections in the Record of
Decision, the 2007 Forest Plan, the Final
Environmental Impact Statement, and
Appendix F; and
3. Supplement the Air Resources—
Section 3.2.4 in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (pp. 3–52 to 3–63) to
fully evaluate the potential cumulative
effects from emissions of methane,
hydrogen sulfide, and emissions from
vehicles and equipment used in oil and
gas development on air quality in the
Allegheny National Forest and
surrounding region.
Possible Alternatives
No specific alternatives have been
identified; however, alternative design
criteria may be appropriate. Continued
application of the 1986 Forest Plan
standards and guidelines for reserved
and outstanding oil and gas
development will serve as the no action
alternative. The alternative of denying
reasonable and necessary access to
reserved and outstanding minerals will
not be considered in detail, as the Forest
Service lacks the legal authority to do so
without engaging in a taking of private
property.
Lead and Cooperating Agencies
The lead agency for this proposal is
the USDA-Forest Service. The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and Bureau of
Land Management will be invited to
become cooperating agencies for this
proposal.
Permits or Licenses Required
The Forest Service is not required to
obtain any permits or licenses in order
to implement this proposal.
Scoping Process
This Notice of Intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the SEIS. Other
information used in determining the
scope of actions, alternatives and effects
to be analyzed includes the public
involvement process for the 2007 Forest
Plan, appeal resolution processes
related to the 2007 Forest Plan, and the
decision of the Chief of the Forest
Service on the appeals of the 2007
Forest Plan.
Comments received on this notice
will be used to identify design criteria
for surface management that are
effective and appropriate. Comments
that point to disagreements over the
environmental effects of the proposed
action will be used to further develop
issues that will be analyzed in the SEIS.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the SEIS.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions. The submission of timely
and specific comments may affect a
reviewer’s ability to participate in
subsequent administrative review or
judicial review.
