Sequoia Extends Forest Travel Management Project Comment period to April 20
Porterville, CA., April 1, 2009...The Sequoia National Forest is extending the public comment period for the Motorized Travel Management Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), which was published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2009, originally for a 60-day comment period.
Forest Supervisor Tina Terrell received many requests for more time to review the documents, so the comment period has been extended for an additional 15-days, from March 31, 2009, to April 20, 2009. Comments must be received no later than April 20, 2009, at 4:30 p.m.
Federal, State, tribal and local government and other interested parties are requested to comment on the DEIS. Comments will be accepted by email at comments-pacificsouthwest-sequoia@fs.fed.us, or by mail to: Chris Sanders, Travel Management, Sequoia National Forest, 1839 South Newcomb Street, Porterville, CA 93257, or by facsimile to (559) 781-4744.
Following the analysis of public comments, Forest Supervisor Tina Terrell will make a final decision and create a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Record of Decision (ROD). This decision is scheduled to be made in summer, 2009.
The DEIS, ten maps representing the alternatives, and other project information are available on the Sequoia National Forest website at: www.fs.fed.us/r5/sequoia/projects/ohv, or a CD with the Draft EIS and maps can be requested by contacting Chris Sanders, Project Team Leader, at (559) 784.1500.
