Much of the discussion centered on the proposed southern haul route, which would require significant road improvement in steep terrain. Additionally, concern was expressed about the increased access through the area in the wintertime – causing impacts to wintering wildlife, public safety and natural resources. The RAC also discussed requesting a fund be created by the project proponent to purchase conservation easements from willing landowners.
