Kaibab National Forest seeks public input on Town of Tusayan Proposed Roadway Easements
Tusayan, Ariz., April 24, 2015—For Immediate Release. The Kaibab National Forest is seeking comments on a proposal to provide roadway and utility easements across
National Forest System lands to the Town of Tusayan. The public scoping period will run for 40 days through June 2.
The easements, if approved, would allow the Town to make improvements to segments of existing forest roads and construct new segments to provide all weather access and utility service to two inholding properties within
the Kaibab National Forest that are in the incorporated limits of the Town. The Ten-X Ranch and Kotzin Ranch properties are not owned or managed by the federal government but are surrounded by federal lands administered by the Kaibab National Forest. The only
access to the Ten-X and Kotzin properties is through National Forest.
A scoping packet is available at
www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=46776 that provides specifics of the project including a description of the proposed action. Additional information on the Town of Tusayan Proposed Roadway Easements project is available at
