Eldorado National Forest Route Designation Workshop December 14
Placerville, CA….The USDA Forest Service will continue its on-going public
conversations about the Eldorado National Forest route designation process
in a public workshop scheduled for December 14 in Placerville. The meeting
will be held from 7 PM to 9 PM in the El Dorado County Office of Education
Activity Center – Building I; 6767 Green Valley Road.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the comments Forest
Supervisor John Berry received on his proposal for how off-highway wheeled
motor vehicle routes should be designated in the Eldorado National Forest.
Forest Service specialists will also explain how these comments will be
used to develop alternatives to Berry’s proposal in the environmental
analysis that is currently underway.
The Forest Service began an Environmental Impact Statement on October
26 when Forest Supervisor Berry announced in the Federal Register his
intention to prepare an EIS and requested public comments on his proposed
action. Comments received between October 26 and December 1, the official
public comment period known as scoping, will be discussed at the meeting.
“This meeting provides a unique opportunity to learn how public
comments will be used in the environmental analysis and what people said
was important,” said Anthony Scardina Route Designation Project Leader.
“Perhaps more importantly, participants will have a chance to provide
advice to the Forest Supervisor before he finalizes the issues that will
frame alternatives to his proposed action.”
More information about the route designation project and workshop can be found on the Eldorado National Forest web site at:
www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado.
The Forest Service is under court order to complete the Eldorado National Forest Route Designation Environmental Impact Statement by December 31, 2007. A draft environmental impact statement is anticipated to be ready for public review in June 2006.
