The work proposed in 2001 would be preparatory to underburning this 1,200-acre unit in the next one or two years and would include primarily mechanical thinning of trees and shrubs to establish holding lines along ridgetops and along portions of the west boundary. The park intends to collaborate with the Dixie National Forest on a portion of the west boundary where the U. S. Forest Service would be conducting a similar treatment on their side of the boundary. The superintendent would like to hear about your concerns regarding implementation of our prescribed fire and hazard fuels management program proposals. The park welcomes your input and opinion in developing alternatives for resolving these management issues. If there are additional issues that have not been raised yet, please bring them to our attention.
Public comments are a valuable part of the data gathering process.
Informed management decisions will result from this assessment. Please be aware that names and addresses of respondents may be released if requested under the Freedom of Information Act. The park s current management philosophy is to make comments available for public review only during regular business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from the record, which we will do to the extent allowable by law. If you wish for us to withhold your name or address, please state this conspicuously at the beginning of your correspondence.
