    Rattlesnake Questions and Comments The following is a complete list of all questions and comments submitted via email and letters sent to our office via fax and postal mail, as well as responses to the rattlesnake conservation plan survey (both electronic and paper forms). Comments from the audience at the public meeting on March 22nd are also included. Below are the questions and comments received as of 12:00 P.M. on April 14, 2017. All new entries since the previous update are inserted at the bottom of each category. 1) Questions/General Comments Biology 1. Eventually the snakes will consume the available food supply. When the supply of food is gone, and snakes can swim in search of a source of food, what measures will be taken to confine the snakes to the island in question? 2. Won’t those babies be confused as to what to do? What will their natural instinct be? 3. Is there any proof scientific or otherwise that the snakes will stay in the area they are told to? After all these are creatures that have the instinct to survive and won't sit and stay where they are placed if the habitat man has picked for them is not fit for their survival despite the statements of Mr. French and others that they only travel 4 miles from the den. Also, from the pictures this area on Zion where they plan to release them is heavily wooded so how will they bask in the sunlight when the area is heavily shaded by trees? .

The purpose of MEPA review is to ensure that a Project proponent studies feasible alternatives to a proposed project; fully discloses environmental impacts of a proposed project; and incorporates all feasible means to avoid, minimize, or mitigate Damage to the Environment as defined by the MEPA statute. I have fully examined the record before me, including but not limited to the Scope issued on September 7,2007, the FEIR filed in response; and the comments entered into the record. I find that the FEIR is sufficiently responsive to the requirements of the MEPA regulations and the Scope to meet the regulatory standard for adequacy. In considering the Proponent's response, I remind commenters that MEPA review does not permit me to approve or deny a project, but rather requires that I determine whether the Draft and Final EIRs have provided adequate information about the project to assist state permitting agencies in using all feasible means to avoid damage to the environment, or, to the extent it cannot be avoided, to minimize and mitigate damage to the environment to the EEA #I3635 FEIR Certificate March 28,2008 maximum extent practicable.

  • Jacob's Ladder Trail Press Kit (2006)
    Jacob’s Ladder Scenic Byway At a Glance LOCATION: The Jacob’s Ladder Scenic Byway, also known as the “Jacob’s Ladder Trail,” is a 33-mile stretch of U.S. Route 20 designated as a scenic byway by the state of Massachusetts in 1992. The route is a state highway, not a hiking or walking trail, and it winds its way through five towns in the Berkshire Foothills. It begins in downtown Lee, Massachusetts and continues along Route 20 through Becket, Chester, Huntington and Russell, ending at the Westfield border. From the Boston area, it takes only about two hours to reach the Jacob’s Ladder Scenic Byway; from New York City, it is about 2½ hours. ADDRESS: Jacob’s Ladder Scenic Byway P.O. Box 508 Huntington, MA 01050 PHONE: (413) 667-3346 E-MAIL: [email protected] CONTACT PERSON: Steve or Linda Hamlin HISTORY: Jacob’s Ladder Trail is a 33-mile route traversing the scenic and little- known foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. Originally traveled by native Americans of the Mohican and Woronoake tribes, Jacob’s Ladder Trail was the main route between the Connecticut and Hudson River valleys. In 1910, the road was opened as the first highway built specifically for the revolutionary new horseless carriages. Billed as “the First of the Great Mountain Crossovers,” the Trail attracted motorists from far and wide to test themselves and their machines against the rugged terrain. A few years later, the Trail had become a part of a continent-spanning highway linking Boston and Oregon, known as the “Yellowstone Trail.” The railroad has played an important role along Jacob’s Ladder Trail since its arrival around 1840.
