I'm all for that as well. I think it can be managed but you have to want to manage it. It's easy to turn your back and let things fall apart. I hope the FS takes home the message that Tellico can be a model by which other NFs can follow. ]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:43:57 +0000 http://sfwda.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=171&PID=874#874 Tellico EA to be released!! : Originally posted by McCrackenThis... http://sfwda.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=171&PID=872#872 Author: DRM

This has been my arguement the whole time. We can repair these trails and keep them maintained. The Forest Service just thought it would be easier to close them. If man can build some of the most amazing structures in the world why can't we better engineer our trails. I, for one, am happy about this study and the results. I hope the FS will take note and see that both uses can exist.


The only thing I would like to see is MORE trails added in the future.

Man, that was a LONG read - but a good one.

FYI - Page 51, item #2, "regarded" should be "regraded".

In preparation for our answer to the EA, SFWDA contracted Caliber Engineering to do an environmental study of the Streams at Tellico and survey the trails and if they concluded that they could be saved to recommend required work to repair the trails. Caliber concluded that all the trails are repairable, their report is available at http://www.sfwda.org/trails/tellico/study09/  for your review.

That's my understanding too, Roger.
 
This is a small stakeholder meeting with a few of the Rescue Tellico people to discuss the Alternatives in the EA.

I believe this is intended to be a meeting with the Rescue Tellico representatives that have been meeting with the FS for the last year and not a public meeting.

To: Monica Schwalbach at mschwalbach@fs.fed.us


You are invited to a specific briefing for off highway vehicle representatives concerning the Upper Tellico OHV Project on Friday February 27, 2009 at 11:00 AM EST, at the Tusquitee Ranger Station in Murphy NC.  District Ranger Steve Lohr and Deputy Forest Supervisor Monica Schwalbach will be presenting the results of our environmental analysis, including all of the alternatives we have developed and analyzed.  We will also present our “preferred” alternative, and give you an opportunity to ask questions so you and those you represent may more effectively comment on our analysis.  We will be soliciting comments from the public during the 30 days following the briefing.

At the briefing, we will also discuss our plans for managing the Upper Tellico OHV System between April 1, 2009 until such time as a final decision is made on the project.

At the briefing, we will provide hardcopy and electronic versions of the Pre-Decisional Environmental Analysis and Travel Analysis.  These and other project records will also be available on our forest website at http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc.  So that we may have sufficient copies of these materials available for you at the briefing, please RSVP by Wednesday, February 25.  

In the event you cannot attend the meeting in person, you may call in to the following conference line:  866-653-2948, Passcode 2618841

We appreciate all of the input that you and the other interested members of the public have provided, to make this a thorough, thoughtful, well-documented analysis.  However, we acknowledge that even after all of the work that has been done, we may have missed something, and welcome this opportunity to hear from you BEFORE a final decision is made.  We look forward to seeing you on the 27th, and receiving your comments during the comment period.
