the quality of the recreation experience. 

An additional purpose for this proposal 

is to upgrade and expand the existing 

and displaced multiple use trails system 

on the east side of Highway 550, 

including Nordic skiing, sleigh ride, 

equestrian, ADA accessible, and hiking; 

and increase the existing mountain 

biking trails within the DMR SUP to 

provide continued public access to 

maintain and improve the recreation 

experience. 

Responsible Official 

The responsible official is Mark Stiles, 

Forest Supervisor for the San Juan 

National Forest, Public Lands Center, 15 

Burnett Court, Durango, CO 81301. The 

responsible official will document the 

decision and reasons for the decision in 

a Record of Decision. That decision will 

be subject to appeal under 36 CFR part 

215 or part 251. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

Based on the analysis that will be 

documented in the forthcoming EIS, the 

responsible official for this project, the 

Forest Supervisor of the San Juan 

National Forest, will decide whether or 

not to implement, in whole or in part, 

the Proposed Action or another 

alternative developed by the Forest 

Service. 

Scoping Process 

Public questions and comments 

regarding this proposal are an integral 

part of this environmental analysis 

process. Comments will be used to 

identify issues and develop alternatives 

to DMR’s proposal. To assist the Forest 

Service in identifying and considering 

issues and concerns on the proposed 

action, comments should be as specific 

as possible. 

Preliminary Issues 

Identified preliminary issues include: 

• Water quantity and quality. 

• Wetlands. 

• Wildlife and vegetation 

(Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive 

species). 

• Quality of the recreation 

experience. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the draft environmental 

impact statement, including the 

identification of the range of alternatives 

to be considered. While public 

participation is strictly optional at this 

stage, the Forest Service believes that it 

is important to give reviewers notice of 

several court rulings related to public 

participation in the subsequent 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of draft 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 

draft environmental impact statement 

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 also may address 

the adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. In addressing these 

points, reviewers may wish to refer to 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations which implement the 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 

1503.3.
