Kaibab National Forest Releases Additional Analysis of Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – The Notice of Availability for the Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement was published in today’s Federal Register, kicking off a 45-day public comment period that will end Dec. 23.
The Supplemental DEIS, which is available online at http://go.usa.gov/W9uW, supplements the July 2012 Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project DEIS. Specifically, it updates the analysis based on new information that has emerged since the DEIS was completed and clarifies portions of the project.
“This project is extremely important not only to the Kaibab National Forest but also to the Williams community,” said acting Williams District Ranger Tony Martoglio. “Our goal is to eventually treat more than 15,000 acres on and surrounding Bill Williams Mountain in order to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health and watershed conditions.”
Comments on the Supplemental DEIS may be sent via email to comments-southwestern-kaibab@xxxxxxxxx or via facsimile to (928) 635-5680 with “Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project” in the subject line. Written comments may be sent to Kaibab National Forest, Attention: Bill Williams Mountain Restoration Project, 742 S. Clover Rd., Williams, AZ 86046. Comments must be received by Dec. 23.
