which we would withhold a

respondent’s identity from public

disclosure, as allowable by law. If you

wish us to withhold your name and/or

prominently at the beginning of your

from organizations or businesses, and

A planning process that included

Federal, State, and local governments,

Tribes and the public in developing

alternatives to update the 1991 Lake

Cascade RMP has occurred over the past

two years. The Draft EA evaluates three

action alternatives that combine various

levels of recreation development and

resource conservation. The Preferred

Alternative emphasizes balanced

recreation development and natural

resource management. In addition to the

action alternatives, the No Action

Alternative of continuation of existing

management practices was also

evaluated. The Draft EA is available for
