AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement;
correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Forest Service published a document in the Federal
Register of July 6, 2012, concerning the notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement. The document contained incorrect
information pertaining to a component of the proposed action.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldora EIS NEPA Contractor, Travis
Beck, (970) 668-3398 ext. 103.
Correction
In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-16300, on
page 39987, in the second column, correct the DATES caption to read:
``Comments concerning the scope of the analysis must be received by
August 31, 2012. The draft environmental impact statement is expected
to be available for public review in June 2013 and the final
environmental impact statement is expected in April 2014.''
In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-16300, on
page 39987, in the third column, correct the first paragraph under the
Proposed Action Heading to read:
The project area includes 615 acres of National Forest System
(NFS) lands and 435 acres of private lands. The Forest Service only
maintains jurisdiction over NFS lands; however, to fulfill its
obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the
Forest Service will analyze the entire project area for direct,
indirect and cumulative effects. The proposed projects would add
approximately 70 acres of traditional terrain and include
approximately 70 acres of gladed terrain projects. Much of the
traditional terrain construction will require tree removal for the
area of the trails, approximating 70 acres of removal, although a
more accurate quantity of tree removal will be disclosed in the EIS
as all proposed trails may not necessitate complete tree removal.
Each project component is discussed below and shown on the enclosed
Eldora Mountain Resort Ski Area Projects map. Additional detail can
be viewed at www.EldoraEIS.com.
In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-16300, on
page 39988, in the first column, correct numbers 4 through 6 under the
Proposed Action Heading to read:
4. Jolly Jug Lift and Trails--Install a new four or six-person
chairlift and construct four new Intermediate trails (approximately
20 acres of terrain) and approximately 10 acres of Intermediate
ability level glades. A Forest Plan amendment would be required to
adjust the SUP boundary to include approximately 16 acres of the
southern portion of the Jolly Jug Pod.
5. Snowmaking--Expand snowmaking coverage to include all new
traditional trails (not in any of the gladed areas) totaling
approximately 70 acres.
6. Roads and Utilities--Build new road spurs and install
utilities to construct and maintain the following proposed lifts and
facilities: Placer Express Lift, Jolly Jug Lift, Challenge Lift, The
Lookout Facility, and Challenge Mountain Facility. Proposed Mountain
Access Roads are depicted by black dashed lines on the attached
Eldora Mountain Resort Ski Area Projects map. The existing
snowmaking infrastructure would deliver drinking water to The
Lookout and Challenge Mountain facilities, as is the current method
for The Lookout Facility. On-site septic systems would accommodate
sewage deposal for the proposed Lookout Facility and Challenge
Mountain Facility.
