TRAVEL MANAGEMENT RULE

FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT

Errata Sheet

August 2014

The Travel Management Rule Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was released in 

June 2014. This errata sheet documents corrections to the text of the published FEIS. These 

corrections reflect minor errors and omissions discovered after the release of the FEIS, and as 

such this document should be reviewed along with the FEIS. Tracked changes are utilized 

(underlined additions and crossed-out deletions) for some of the changes where it would assist 

the reader in more easily following the corrections. There are no changes to the project or 

significant new circumstances or information identified in the Errata Sheet that affect the 

analysis and conclusion in the Travel Management Rule FEIS.

Chapter 3, Cultural Resources

Errata #5. Page 420, Table 199.

Table 199 should have included the numbers of analysis acres and acres surveyed to standard for 

the changes in the route system (Newly Proposed Route Designations) for each alternative. This 

information is located in Table 5 on page 23 within the Cultural Resources Specialist Report for 

each Newly Proposed Route designation. While this table was not included within the FEIS, 

rows 11 and 12 of Table 5 contain information on total numbers of analysis acres and acres 

surveyed to standard for each alternative. These two rows should have been added to Table 199 

in the FEIS for simple comparison between alternatives of the total analysis acres and acres 

surveyed to standard for changes in the route system (Newly Proposed Route Designations) for 

each alternative.

Errata #6, page 423, Table 200. 

Table 200 should have included a row the number of Motorized Dispersed Camping Corridor 

acres surveyed to standard. This row was inadvertently left out when the table was copied from 

the Cultural Resources Specialist Report into the FEIS. The table appears in the Cultural 

Resources Specialist Report in its entirety (Table 8, page 27).
