Sending email with an attachment retains the formatting, (i.e. a document that has been formatted in MSWord can be opened and retains the formatting). 2.

Hard copies require scanning and proofing (from an original) before being transferred to Trail Talk format; both the Editor, Virginia, and Desktop Publisher, Norine, use hard copies in their work.

  • Eldorado National Forest Final Enviromental Impact Statement
    United States Department of Agriculture Final Environmental Forest Service Impact Statement Pacific Southwest Region Eldorado National Forest Eldorado Public Wheeled Motorized Travel Management EIS National Forest R5-MB-156 Volume II: Appendices March 2008 Forest Supervisor’s Office Eldorado National Forest Placerville, California 95667 Final EIS Public Wheeled Motorized Travel Management EIS APPENDIX A Public Involvement _______________________________ As a result of the aggressive court timeline set for the ENF motor vehicle travel management project, a public involvement schedule and process was developed to ensure ample opportunity for public involvement throughout the NEPA process. The process focused on being open, honest, and transparent. The primary objectives of this level of involvement was to: (1) engage and involve the public to every extent possible; (2) provide insight to internal decision-making processes to help build understanding and trust; (3) help the public learn, understand, and build knowledge about the process so that they could be effective participants; and (4) have proactive outreach and innovative public meetings to provide additional opportunity for public input to and discussion with agency officials. Prior to releasing the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a forest-wide EIS to designate routes for public motor vehicle use, the ENF Forest Supervisor and travel management team leader met individually with the past plaintiffs and interveners to discuss the timeline for the travel management process, the public involvement process for the project, and the Forest Supervisor’s ideas for an initial agency proposed action. These individuals generally accepted this approach and were pleased that the Forest Supervisor took the time to meet with them and was candid in his remarks.

The convention committee has been working hard to make this one of the best conventions ever. A look at the varietyof bus tours and hikes should be enough to make all rut nuts grin with delight. The scenery is world class, and you will have the chance to pause and enjoy it unlike the emigrants who hurried along to cross this final barrier before winter set in. The Lake Tahoe area is rich in natural and cultural history, and we can only touch a small part of it during our convention, so we invite you to spend a few extra days exploring the area. Carson City has a wealth of activities and sites from a steam train ride to Virginia City to John Fremont's "lost" cannon at the Nevada State Museum in the old U.S. Mint. If you could use a nice relaxing soak, try either Grover Hot Springs State Park, or Walley's Hot Springs Resort, which are just a short drive south of Lake Tahoe.
