The Draft EIS for the Forest Plan Amendment was made available for public review in January 2007. The Forest Service
accepted public comment on the document through April 30, 2007.
The Forest Service has received a number of requests for
additional information since publication of the Draft EIS. This page presents the information that we have provided in
response to these requests. Our intent in making this information available on the Web site is to: 1) ensure that all
parties interested in the Draft EIS have equal access to this information, and 2) reduce the potential for duplicative
information requests.
