The proposed action for this project involves maintaining and upgrading
roads as well as closing, restricting or decommissioning roads within
the Hayman burn area. This project will directly address approximately
half of the 258 miles of classified (Forest System) roads in the burn
area. Of the 129 miles to be addressed in this project, 50 percent
are proposed to be maintained as is and 50 percent are proposed to
be restricted, closed, decommissioned or converted to other uses.
The project also proposes the decommissioning of 35 – 70 miles
of unclassified (non-Forest System) roads in the burn area. The proposed
action considers that there are some roads that are too severely damaged
to make it feasible to reopen them for use.
Public comment sought through February 16
In conjunction with the Environmental Assessment (EA) we are seeking
public comment, through Feb. 16, to incorporate public concerns and
issues into potential alternatives to the proposed action. These comments
and alternatives will be incorporated into the project’s draft
Environmental Assessment (EA), which will subsequently be made available
for 30-day public review prior to a decision. All alternatives will
be analyzed for their impacts on the environment, with the responsible
district rangers using that analysis to render decisions relating
to actions to be taken on their respective districts.
Public Meetings. In addition to the information provided on this
website, we have scheduled two public meetings to enable the public
to receive additional information and provide input.
