Olympic National Forest in
Washington State Proposes OHV Trail System In
North Fork Calawah Watershed
Price, UT (4/25/2012)
- The Pacific Ranger District of the Olympic National
Forest is proposing to construct and maintain
an OHV (Off-Highway Vehicle) trail system in the
North Fork Calawah watershed. The Proposed Action
is the development of a trail system and staging
area for OHV use in the Bonidu project area (see
map by clicking here
). The trail system would utilize both existing
system roads and user-created trails. There would
be no cross-country travel, and user-created trails
in the project area that are not part of this
proposal would be closed / rehabilitated. The
system would be designed for year-round use.
The public is invited to participate in the National
Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) process as Forest Service personnel
prepare an
environmental analysis. Comments in support or
in opposition are
welcome. If you have information you believe the
Forest may not be
aware of, or if you have specific concerns regarding
potential effects
of this Proposed Action, please send your comments
in writing to Tim
Davis, Project Leader, at Olympic National Forest,
1835 Black Lake
Blvd SW, Olympia, WA 98512, or by email to
comments-pacificnorthwest-olympic-pacific@fs.fed.us
Please respond by May 21, 2012. Significant issues
that are
identified may be used to develop alternatives
to the Proposed Action.
Respondents will be notified when the draft Environmental
Assessment
is available for the thirty-day review and comment
period. If you have
no input at this time, but would like to remain
informed, please let
us know.
If you have any questions or need additional
information, please
contact Tim Davis (project leader) at 360-956-2375
or email
attedavis@fs.fed.us
Thanks in advance and, as always, if you have
any questions or
concerns, please contact BRC.
