• Whether to include an adaptive
management approach to address future
spread of invasive weeds.
If authorized, the decision would
describe adaptive management options
under specific settings and conditions.
The EIS is a project level analysis.
The scope of the project is confined to
issues and potential environmental
consequences relevant to the decision.
This analysis does not attempt to reevaluate or alter decisions made at
higher levels. The decision is subject to
and would implement direction from
higher levels.
National and regional policies and
Forest Plan direction require
consideration of effects of all projects on
invasive plant spread and prescribe
protection measures where practical to
limit those effects. Reconsideration of
other existing project level decisions or
programmatically prescribing protection
measures or standards for future Forest
management activities (such as travel
management, timber harvest, and
grazing management) are beyond the
scope of this document. Cumulative
effects of the Project are addressed
where appropriate in Chapter 3
combined with effects of other Forest
activities.
Even with careful consideration,
unforeseen events can occur that will
require additional analyses.
Unanticipated events can result in new
information that could have a bearing
on a decision. Forest Service procedures
for addressing such new information,
documents, and decisions are
thoroughly explained in FSH 1909.15,
Section 18.
Preliminary Issues: Key issues
identified to date include:
• The current and potential impacts
of invasive plants on natural resources
such as big game winter habitat, native
plant communities, wilderness values,
watershed function, and threatened,
endangered, or sensitive species and
their habitats.
• Economics, effectiveness, and
potential impacts of various control
methods on natural resources.
• Potential effects on non-target
native plants and associated values,
wildlife and fish populations, and
human health from the application of
herbicides.
Scoping Process: This notice of intent
initiates the scoping process, which
guides the development of the
environmental impact statement. Public
participation will be especially
important at several points during the
analysis, beginning with the scoping
process (40 CFR 1501.7). The Forest
Service will be seeking information,

comments, and assistance from Federal,
State, and local agencies, tribes, and
other individuals or organizations who
may be interested in or affected by the
proposed project. This input will be
used in preparation of the draft EIS.
Continued scoping and public
participation efforts will be used by the
interdisciplinary team to identify new
issues, determine alternatives in
response to the issues, and determine
the level of analysis needed to disclose
potential biological, physical, economic,
and social impacts associated with this
project.
The draft EIS is expected to be filed
with the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and to be available for
public review by May 2011. The EPA
will publish a notice of availability of
the draft EIS in the Federal Register.
The comment period on the draft EIS
will be 45 days from the date the EPA
notice appears in the Federal Register.
At that time, copies of the draft EIS will
be distributed to interested and affected
agencies, organizations, and members of
the public for their review and
comment. It is important that those
interested in this proposal on the
Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests
and Thunder Basin National Grassland
participate at that time.
The final EIS is scheduled for
completion by April 2012. In the final
EIS, the Forest Service is required to
respond to substantive comments
received during the comment period for
the draft EIS. The Forest Supervisor of
the Medicine Bow-Routt National
Forests and Thunder Basin National
Grassland is the responsible official.
The Forest Supervisor will decide
which, if any, of the proposed project
alternatives will be implemented. The
decision and reasons for the decision
will be documented in appropriate
Records of Decision. Those decisions
will be subject to Forest Service appeal
regulations (36 CFR part 215).
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
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions.
Comments received in response to
this solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment, will
become part of the public record for this
proposed action. Comments submitted
anonymously will be accepted and
considered, however anonymous
comments will not provide the
respondent with standing to participate
