Changes proposed to roadless areas
|
|
April 22, 2013 |
The chief of the Forest Service is proposing to
modify Idaho Roadless Area boundaries for the
Big Creek, Grandmother Mountain, Pinchot Butte,
Roland Point, Wonderful Peak Idaho Roadless
Areas on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests to
reflect lands acquired within and/or adjacent to
these roadless areas.
The lands were acquired in 2008 after the Idaho
Rule was established.
In addition, modifications to correct mapping
errors involving Forest Plan Special Areas in
the Salmo-Priest, and Upper Priest Idaho
Roadless Areas are addressed.
These changes reflect the correct boundary of
eligible wild and scenic river corridors in
these two roadless areas. An administrative
correction is proposed to §294.29 to add the
Buckhorn Ridge Idaho Roadless Areas to the list
under the Kootenai National Forest, as this
roadless area is located on both the Kootenai
National Forest and the Idaho Panhandle National
Forest.
Comments must be received, in writing, on or
before June 3, 2013, (45 days after publication
in the Federal Register).
