Forest Service Invites Public Input
on the Laurel Creek Enhancement
Transportation Management Project
The Marlinton-White Sulphur Springs Ranger District on the Monongahela National Forest is proposing to construct two temporary roads totaling 0.5 mile that will be used to facilitate wildlife habitat enhancement and timber stand improvements. The proposed temporary roads are located adjacent to Laurel Run Creek in Greenbrier County, north of National Forest System Road 797. Temporary roads will be decommissioned within 3 years following project completion.
We anticipate this proposal to be categorically excluded from documentation in an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under 36 CFR 220. 6(e) Category 6: Timber stand and/or wildlife habitat improvement activities that do not include the use of herbicides or do not require more than 1 mile of low standard road construction.
Additional project information is available online at: http://www.fs. fed.us/nepa/nepa_project_exp.php?project=61937 Hard copies or additional information regarding this project can be requested from Sarah Dezelin, NEPA Planner, at Sarah.Dezelin@USDA.gov or 304-846-2696.
As a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 (Public Law No. 113-76) and the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill, Public Law No. 102-381), the Forest Service will no longer offer appeal opportunities for categorically excluded projects. However, we will continue to offer public involvement opportunities for these projects and will take public comments into consideration before final decisions are made. Therefore, we welcome your involvement and encourage your comments on this proposal. Comments received, including names and contact information of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record on this proposed action and will be available for public inspection. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the agency with the ability to provide the respondent with subsequent environmental documents.
Written comments concerning this proposal will be accepted until April 21, 2022.
Electronic comments including attachments must be submitted in a format such as an email message, plain text (.txt), portable document format (.pdf), or Word (.doc or .docx) to Comments-eastern-monongahela-gauley@usda.gov
Written comments must be submitted to: USDA Forest Service, Attn: Sarah Dezelin, 932 North Fork Cherry Road, Richwood WV, 26261.
The office business hours for those submitting hand-delivered comments are: 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Please state “Laurel Creek Transportation Project” in the subject line when providing electronic comments, or on the envelope when replying by mail.
