NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT
USDA FOREST SERVICE
WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST, BLANCO RANGER DISTRICT
SOUTHWEST BLANCO WILDLIFE HABITAT ENHANCEMENT PROJECT
The USDA Forest Service is soliciting comments for the Southwest Blanco Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Project. The proposed action is to be located on the Blanco Ranger District of the White River National Forest. All work is proposed to occur within the described project area located in portions of Sections 7-36, Township 2S, Range 93W; Sections 1-28, Township 3S, Range 93W; Sections 18-34, Township 2S, Range 92W; Sections 2-18, Township 3S, Range 92W; 6th principal Meridian, Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties, Colorado. The proposed action
would utilize vegetation management activities to move mountain shrub and aspen communities towards desired conditions of 60% forage habitat and 40% cover habitat for elk and mule deer.
The Responsible Official for this decision is Curtis Keetch, Blanco District Ranger.
A Notice of Proposed Action for the Southwest Blanco Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Project is available upon request at the Blanco Ranger District office, 220 E. Market Street, Meeker, CO 81641. This document is also available at the White River National Forest website:
https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=65795. Additional information regarding this proposed action can also be obtained from Andre Delcalzo, at (970) 878-6006 or by e-mail at andre.d[email protected].
The Southwest Blanco Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Project is an activity implementing a land management plan. Based on resource information gathered to date, it is anticipated that this project falls within a Forest Service category of actions under 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 220.6 that may be excluded from further documentation in either an Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement. Scoping comments, along with complete resource analysis, will determine whether this project can be categorically excluded. The proposed project is consistent with category 36 CFR 220.6(e)(6)- Timber stand and/or wildlife habitat improvement activities that do not include the use of herbicides or do not require more
than 1 mile of low standard road construction. This notice also serves to notify and invite public comment on the proposal as stipulated in 36 CF4 800.3 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Comments will be accepted any time but will be most helpful if submitted prior to April 24th, 2024. Names and contact information submitted with comments will become part of the public record and may be released under the Freedom of Information Act. Decisions that are categorically excluded from documentation in an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) are not subject to an administrative review process (pre-decisional objection process) (Agriculture Act of 2014, Subtitle A, Sec. 8006).
Persons commenting should include: 1) name, address, telephone number, organization represented, if any; 2) name of the proposal on which the comment is being submitted (Southwest Blanco Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Project); and 3) specific facts and supporting reasons for consideration.
The Responsible Official will consider all written comments received. However, in order for your comments to be most useful to the agency’s, it is important that you provide your comments prior to the close of the scoping comment period and that you clearly articulate your concerns and contentions. The Responsible Official does not anticipate providing an additional opportunity to submit written comments other than this scoping period. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the Agency with the ability to provide the commenter with subsequent environmental documents.
Submit comments to Andre Delcalzo, Project Lead by one of the following methods: mail: 220 E. Market Street, Meeker, CO 81641 telephone: (970)878-6006, email: andre.delc[email protected], or on the project website https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=65795
