The Carson National Forest, located in northern New Mexico, has released Transportation Management Proposed Actions for the Jicarilla, Canjilon, EI Rito and Tres Piedras Rangers Districts for public review. A copy of the summary documents, the proposed actions, maps and figures can be found on the Forest website at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/carson/recreation/travel_mgmt/documents.shtml. The public is invited to visit any of the district offices to view a larger version of the maps.
For the Jicarilla Ranger District, Alternative 1 of the Proposed Action is the preferred alternative. For the Canjilon, El Rito and Tres Piedras Ranger Districts, Alternative 1 is the preferred alternative. The Forest Service (FS) will be completing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Jicarilla district and one combined Environmental Assessment for the Canjilon, El Rito and Tres Piedras districts.
The Forest Service is asking for your comments during a 30-day comment period, which began on July 16, 2009, and will end August 17, 2009. The purpose of this comment period is to provide the public the opportunity to comment on the proposal before a final decision is made.
