Hickenbottom was asked about the extent of wood to be cut as it would be seen visually. He did admit that some areas could have the appearance of being clearcut. A date for completion of the revised application was not provided. Hickenbottom said the agency will not be starting from scratch with a public comment period on the amended application, however. Following approval of the revised plan, a new 45-day appeal period will be initiated before the USFS renders a new decision.
Federal law requires that the agency publish a notice about the appeal period in local newspapers.
