Dixie-Fishlake NF Weblog
• • • • •

Many of you attended our Planning Forum a few months back. It was a great event. At the event, we had a Proposed Dixie and Fishlake Land Management Plan - Working Document for your review. Some of you have been anticipating a 90-day comment period. Here is an update on progress towards that review period. (We still plan to consider the Forum dialogue and any comments we recieve on the working document during the 90-day comment period.)

We are going to be some of the first National Forests to complete our plans under the “new” 2005 Planning Rule. In order to make sure we have developed our strategic plans in line with the new rule, we have some additional coordination to do with other levels of the agency before we can release our Proposed Land Management Plan for public review and comment (90-day comment period). We appreciate your patience in this short delay to accomdate further internal review.

We expect to start a 90-day comment period later this year. We will announce the start of the comment period and availability of the documents in the Federal Register, on our website, and in local newspapers. Feel free to contact us any time with your questions, comments, or concerns.

The fully-linked Proposed Land Management Plan-working document is now online at http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/dixie/projects/lmp/ The structure of this website will likely be changing soon, but the URL is valid now to access the documents. Once the URL does change, we’ll post forwarding information. You will also be able to view the Comprehensive Evaluation Report on this site as well.

THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THIS WORKING DOCUMENT BEFORE WE START THE 90-DAY COMMENT PERIOD ON THE PLAN.

It has been a while since we last checked in with folks on the blog. My apologies. We hope you will continue to find this venue informative and timely. Here is a quick update.

Hi Folks. Just a few quick pieces of information.
