Subject: Draft Environmental Impact Statement Rangeland Health Standard
and Guidelines for California and Northwestern Nevada Review and Comment
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the DEIS on Rangeland Health
Standards and Guidelines for California. The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors
maintains an interest in the protection of rangeland resources, a resource
that contributes so much in sustaining our local economy.
The draft EIS appears to present a thoroughly comprehensive study on
the environmental effects of the proposed alternatives relative to direct
impacts. Although the document provides excellent documentation and sound
discussions on the numerous issues involved in rangeland health, it does
not sufficiently address cumulative effects on this and other Federal actions,
e.g., the Federal Endangered Species Act.
Please keep our Board informed of any further action involved with the
DEIS. Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on this document.
Sincerely,
Bill Hoy, Chairman
Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors
