Kaibab National Forest Releases Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – The Kaibab National Forest has released its draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project. Documents are available on the Kaibab National Forest website at http://www.fs.fed.us/nepa/fs-usda-pop.php/?project=34690
The project involves improving the health and sustainability of forested conditions on about 15,200 acres encompassing Bill Williams Mountain on the Williams Ranger District. The Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project is located four miles south-southwest of the City of Williams, AZ.
The Notice of Availability appeared in the Federal Register on Friday, July 13 and initiated the 45-day public comment period, which will end on Monday, August 27. Comments on the DEIS should address the specific contents of the project and the adequacy of the analysis of the alternatives discussed. This will allow the Kaibab National Forest to respond to the comments and address any relevant needs before finalizing the Environmental Impact Statement.
The project was developed collaboratively over a two-year period. Project objectives include reducing the risk of severe wildfire, promoting forest health, protecting cultural resources and improving wildlife habitat. Proposed treatments involve thinning and prescribed burning. This work would be done to help improve watershed conditions contributing to the City of Williams water supply.
