Scoping Process 

The Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) emphasizes an early and 

open process for determining the scope 

of issues to be addressed and for 

identifying significant issues related to 

the proposed action. To meet the intent 

of the CEQ regulations, the Cibola 

National Forest will do the following to 

ensure early and open public 

involvement: (1) Include the proposed 

action on the list of projects for annual 

tribal consultation and address concerns 

identified during tribal consultation as 

part of the analysis, (2) submit the 

proposed action to the public during 

scoping, and request comments or 

issues (points of dispute, debate, or 

disagreement) regarding the potential 

effects, (3) include the proposal on the 

Cibola National Forest Schedule of 

Proposed Actions quarterly report, (4) 

use comments received to determine 

significant issues and additional 

alternatives to address within the 

analysis, (5) consult with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service and the State 

Historical Preservation Office regarding 

potential effects to listed species and 

heritage sites as needed, and (6) prepare 

and distribute a draft environmental 

impact statement for a 45-day public 

comment period. No public meeting is 

planned. 

Preliminary Issues 

One preliminary issue has been 

identified. The project and other actions 

in the area could affect habitat for the 

Zuni bluehead sucker, a New Mexico 

state-endangered fish, which exists 

downstream from the project area. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. Comments should be 

focused on the nature of the action 

proposed and should be relevant to the 

decision under consideration. 

Comments received from the public will 

be evaluated for significant issues and 

used to assist in the development of 

additional alternatives, if any. 

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 environmental 

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. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.
