year-round easement could result in an 

inconsistency with Forest Plan 

standards for MA 5.41. In order to 

approve road reconstruction and yearround access to the inholding across 

NFS lands, an amendment to the Forest 

Plan would be necessary. This 

amendment would be specific to 

standards included in MA 5.41 related 

to biodiversity and infrastructure. 

Permits or Licenses Required 

• An Eagle County grading permit(s) 

would be required for road construction 

on NFS and private lands. 

• Building construction permits 

would be required for individual 

buildings on each lot. 

Scoping Process 

Publication of a Notice of Intent (NOI) 

in the Federal Register begins the 

planning process under provisions of 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

Comments will be accepted during the 

45-day scoping period as described in 

this NOI. Comments will be reviewed 

and issues identified. Issues that cannot 

be resolved by mitigation or minor 

changes to the proposed action may 

generate alternatives to the proposed 

action. This process is driven by 

comments received from the public, 

other agencies, and internal Forest 

Service concerns. To assist in 

commenting, a scoping letter providing 

more detailed information on the project 

proposal (including a map) has been 

prepared and is available to interested 

parties. Contact Brian Lloyd, District 

Ranger, at the address listed in this NOI 

if you would like to receive a copy. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process that guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. Comments that are 

site-specific in nature are most helpful 

to resource professionals when trying to 

narrow and address the public’s issues 

and concerns. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review 

A Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement will be prepared for 

comment. The comment period on the 

Draft Environment Impact Statement 

will be 45 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of Draft Environmental 

Impact Statements must structure their 

participation in the environmental 

review of the proposal so that it is 

meaningful and alerts an agency to the 

reviewer’s position and contentions. 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. 

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, 

environmental objections that could be 

raised at the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement stage but that are not 

raised until after completion of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement may 

be waived or dismissed by the courts. 

City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 

1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin 

Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 

1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of 

these court rulings, it is very important 

that those interested in this proposed 

action participate by the close of the 45 

day comment period so that substantive 

comments and objections are made 

available to the Forest Service at a time 

when it can meaningfully consider them 

and respond to them in the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act at 40 

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such manner that they are useful to the 

agency’s preparation of the 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

Therefore, comments should be 

provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. The submission of timely 

and specific comments can affect a 

reviewer’s ability to participate in 

subsequent administrative appeal or 

judicial review.
