Suitability Study for a Portion of the North Fork of the Clearwater River, Kelly Creek, and Cayuse Creek Being Considered for National Wild & Scenic River Status; Clearwater National Forest; Clearwater & Idaho Counties, ID

Résumé

The Forest Service, USDA, will prepare a draft and final legislative Impact Statement (LEIS) associated with a study of the suitability of a portion of the North Fork of the Clearwater River, Kelly Creek, and Cayuse Creek in the Clearwater National Forest in Idaho for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System. The three streams were found eligible for consideration as Wild and Scenic Rivers in the 1987 Clearwater National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan). All three streams are found within the boundaries of the Clearwater National Forest. The agency invites written comments and suggestions on the suitability of these rivers. In addition, the agency gives notice of the environmental analysis and decision-making process associated with the study so that interested and affected people are aware of how they may participate and contribute to the decision.
