Riepilogo

The Forest Service will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal to improve forest health by tree harvest, and treatment of excess fuels to manage an increasing catastrophic wildfire potential, and to accomplish other connected and/or related action(s), including wildlife habitat improvement and improved access development and travel management, within the Cold Springs analysis area on the Medicine Bow/Routt National Forest in Albany and Converse counties, Wyoming, which are now ripe for decision. The Forest Service invites comments, and suggestions on the scope of the analysis to be included in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). In addition, the Forest Service gives notice that it is beginning, in cooperation with the State of Wyoming and other federal agencies, a full environmental analysis of this proposal, an alternative to it that will examine the effects of doing nothing, i.e., a ``no action'' alternative to the proposal, and other alternatives as may be determined to be appropriate in order to analyze significant issues that may surface during scoping and the initial public comment period.
