pipebomb Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT! Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber, Attention South Dakota Recreationists! The Fort Pierre National Grassland is formulating new travel plans that will limit ALL vehicle use to designated roads, trails and areas. As a first step in the planning process, the Forest Service (FS) will be hosting two open-house style meetings during the month of February. As you know, the FS published a new rule requiring the agency to formally designate a system of roads, trails and areas where motorized vehicle use would be allowed. Forest Service regulations and other laws require the agency to conduct a planning process in collaboration with the public to help design the designated system. Your comments will be used to help the FS to produce an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze and disclose likely effects of the proposed action and any alternatives. In order to have your comments considered in the discussion of the transportation system on the Fort Pierre National Grassland you must submit them no later than March 5, 2007. A second opportunity to comment will be available once the EA is released for comments scheduled for later this year. Submit written comments to Travel Management, Fort Pierre National Grassland, 1020 North Deadwood Street, Fort Pierre, SD 57532. Email comments to comments-rocky-mountain-nebraska-fort-pierre@fs.fed.uswith FPNG Travel Management in the subject line. Remember to include your name and contact information. Schedule for the Open Houses: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Fort Pierre National Grassland Office 1020 North Deadwood Street Fort Pierre, SD Thursday, February 15, 2007 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Fort Pierre National Grassland Office 1020 North Deadwood Street Fort Pierre, SD PLEASE IF YOU RECREATE ON THE FORT PIERRE NATIONAL GRASSLAND GET INVOLVED NOW!
