Dear Clearwater National Forest Travel Planning Participant:
Thank you for your earlier comments on and interest in the Clearwater National Forest Travel Planning effort. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Travel Plan is now available on the Forest website at
http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/clearwater/. The Forest Supervisor has identified Alternative C as the Preferred Alternative and a short summary of the DEIS is attached to this email.
The Clearwater National Forest is making every effort to minimize our use of paper, as well as the consumption of other resources that are needed to produce, transport, and store paper documents. Your willingness to access environmental documents online is greatly appreciated, and will allow us to significantly reduce costs. Copies of the DEIS are also available at Clearwater National Forest offices and many local libraries, including those at Orofino, Deary, Elk River, Grangeville, Kamiah, Kooskia, Lewiston, Moscow, Pierce, Potlatch, and Weippe in Idaho, as well as Superior and Missoula, Montana.
