Proposed Action
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
On March 20, 2006, District Ranger
Chip Sibbernsen made a decision
designating routes open for motorized
travel use, seasonal and other closures,
development of two gravel sources,
improvements to two concentrated use
areas, and new trail construction on the
Ogden Ranger District. The decision
also allowed limited use of motor
vehicles within 150 feet of designated
roads to access dispersed camping sites.
The record of decision for the project
was appealed by four separate parties.
After review, the appeal deciding officer
reversed the decision, based on her
finding that the environmental analysis
and supporting information in the
project record were not adequate to
support the decision in regard to
cumulative effects analysis.
Subsequent analysis resulted in a
FSEIS that did not replace the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
in its entirety, but which replaced
discrete sections of the FEIS and
provided additional information to
augment the analysis in the FEIS. A
record of decision for the FSEIS was
signed on September 12, 2007. The
record of decision was appealed and the
decision was affirmed and
implemented.
As a result of litigation, on March 7,
2012, the United States District Court
for the District of Utah issued a decision
order. The Court held that the record of
decision and FSEIS had three
deficiencies: (1) It failed to provide
notice of available support for the
public to understand the information
cataloguing illegal routes; (2) it failed to
adequately support its assumptions
about the impact of illegal user-created
routes; and (3) it failed to explain
explicitly its evaluation of the
cumulative impacts of its decision on
the Shoshone Trail system. As a result,
the currently proposed supplement to
the FSEIS will be directed to address the
deficiencies.
