This environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared to determine whether changing use designations on 133 miles of forest system roads currently open to “licensed vehicles only” and 10 miles of forest roads authorized under special use permit to a designation allowing “all motorized vehicles” may significantly affect the quality of the human environment and thereby require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Preparation of this EA fulfills agency policy and complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). For more details of the purpose of and need for action and the proposed action, please see those relevant sections of this document. In the spring of 2011 the WRNF completed a Final EIS (FEIS) and issued a Record of Decision (ROD) implementing the Forest Travel Management Plan. The TMP defined where licensed, unlicensed, and mechanical vehicles are allowed across the entire WRNF. A Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) is the legal instrument that displays the TMP decisions for motorized vehicles pursuant to 36 CFR 212.51. MVUMs show what type(s) of motorized vehicles (vehicle classes) are allowed on each route and any seasonal restrictions. A decision to implement the proposed action or an alternative described in this EA would result in changes to the 2014 and subsequent Motor Vehicle Use Maps. Terminology used in the TMP, ROD, MVUMs, and in this EA to define different types of motor vehicles is as follows: The term “Unlicensed Vehicles” refers to Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs) which includes All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), Utility Transport Vehicles (UTVs), and unlicensed motorcycles. The terms “Highway Legal Vehicles” and “Licensed Vehicles” refer to all motorized vehicles that are titled, display a state license plate, and meet the definition and legal requirements to operate on streets and highways. The terms “Mixed Use” and “Roads Open to All Vehicles” are used when referencing use by both licensed and unlicensed motor vehicles. The 2005 Travel Management Rule (TMR) allows individual forests and ranger districts to alter their MVUM to reflect changes made through either administrative and/or National Environmental Policy Act decision processes. This policy allows forests to adapt their travel management system based on changing conditions, new information, and both internal and external input. Since issuance of the 2011 ROD, strong input from individuals, organizations, municipalities, and businesses have indicated that the decision limiting use to Licensed Vehicles only on these 133 miles of system roads and designating 10 miles open only to Special Use Permit holders on the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District was overly restrictive. The proposed action was crafted in order to seek improved balance in the system of motorized and non-motorized recreation opportunities. This EA analyzes the effects of allowing unlicensed vehicles on system roads that are currently open only to highway legal vehicles (“mixed use”). The 2011 FEIS thoroughly analyzed and disclosed the effects of motorized use on the designated open road and trail system. Since the proposed action considered in this EA is limited to changing use designation and proposes no new routes, a detailed analysis was only conducted on resources for which there are new or differing effects from those disclosed in the 2011 FEIS. These resources are recreation, law enforcement, and transportation. This EA tiers to and incorporates the remainder of the 2011 FEIS. Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District MVUM Update Project Page 1 The responsible official is the Eagle-Holy Cross District Ranger. Based upon the effects of the proposed action, the responsible official will decide whether or not to implement the proposed action, or a reasonable alternative. DOCUMENT STRUCTURE This EA was prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and other relevant federal and state laws and regulations. This EA discloses the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts that would result from the proposed action. The document is organized into four parts: • Chapter 1: Purpose, Need and Proposed Action: This section includes information on pertinent background and history, the purpose of and need for action, and the agency’s proposed action for achieving that purpose and need. This section also details how the Forest Service informed the public of the proposal and how the public responded. • Chapter 2: Alternatives, Including the Proposed Action: This section provides a more detailed description of the agency’s proposed action as compared to no action. • Chapter 3: Environmental Effects of the Proposed Action and Alternatives: This section describes the environmental effects of implementing the proposed action contrasted to the existing condition, which represents the no action alternative as set forth in 26 CRF 220.7.(b)(2)(ii). This analysis is organized by resource area where each section has a description of the affected environment followed by the effects of the proposed action compared with no action. • Chapter 4: Consultation and Coordination: This section provides a list of preparers and agencies consulted during the development of this EA. Project Location The project area is located on National Forest lands within Eagle and Garfield Counties, all within the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District on the White River National Forest in Colorado. A general location map of the project is shown in Figure 1. The project area that includes the 143 miles of forest system roads is shown in Figure 2. More detailed maps are shown as Figures 3 through 8. Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District MVUM Update Project Page 2 Figure 1. Vicinity map Routes that are part of this analysis are listed by road number in Appendix A. These routes exist in several areas including the Flat Tops (north of Dotsero), Derby Mesa, Cottonwood Pass, South Eagle, Red Sandstone-Muddy Pass, and Homestake-Camp Hale. The topography along these routes is typical of the Rocky Mountains with steep rocky terrain, wide open meadows, and heavily forested areas. Vegetation includes Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, lodgepole pine, and aspen forests intermixed with sage, grass, and brush components. Historic use on routes in the project area prior to the 2011 ROD included mixed vehicle use throughout the year, especially on weekends and throughout the fall hunting season (September-November). CHAPTER 1: PURPOSE, NEED, AND PROPOSED ACTION Background In 2011 the White River National Forest signed a Record of Decision that implemented the Forest's Travel Management Plan in compliance with the 2005 Travel Management Rule (CFR 36 Parts 212, 251, 261, 295). The ROD restricted unlicensed vehicles on many road segments open to highway legal vehicles across the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District. These restrictions were identified on the District's 2012 and 2013 Motor Vehicle Use Maps. The 2005 TMR allows individual

    APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM April 2020 By David Evans and Associates INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The I-70 West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project is located in Eagle and Summit Counties, with the eastern terminus just east of the Vail Pass Rest Area and the western terminus in the Town of Vail. The project study limits include eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) I-70 from mile post (MP) 179.5 to MP 191.5. The project location and approximate study area are shown in Figure 1 . As part of the initial National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis, a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-70 Mountain Corridor (C-470 to Glenwood Springs) was completed in 2011. This EIS, the I-70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic Final Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), recommended the addition of auxiliary lanes EB and WB on the west side of Vail Pass from MP 180 to MP 190 as part of the Preferred Alternative’s Minimum Program of Improvements. The PEIS also identified the potential for an elevated Advanced Guideway System (AGS) for transit along the I-70 corridor, including the West Vail Pass project corridor. A follow-up AGS Feasibility Study in 2014 analyzed potential alignments and costs for an AGS system and determined there were three feasible alignments for future AGS. While AGS is not part of the West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project, the AGS Feasibility Study was used to ensure the project did not preclude the favored alignment of the three, which would be partially within CDOT right-of-way (ROW).

  • Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest
    Final Environmental Impact Statement Volume 3 Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest Headwaters of the South Fork of the White River Jan Spencer – Landscape Architect Writer/Editor Ron Wright – Soil Scientist Bill Kight – Heritage Resource Manager Kit Buell – Wildlife Biologist Carolyn Upton – Social/Economics Specialist Marsha Raus – Fisheries Biologist Narrative and Photography Contributors: Ron Taussig, Beth Boyst, George Myser, Tom Kuekes, Al Grimshaw, Dan Mathews, Paula Johnston, Kathy Hardy, Angela Glenn, Gary Osier P-1 Appendix P White River National Forest Preface The word landscape evokes certain unique and special images and meanings to each of us as individuals. As children we may have attached a sense of place to some small parcel of ground, be it a backyard or an open meadow blooming with the rainbow color of wildflowers. The rest of our lives then build upon those early impressions, layer upon layer of geographic recognition. Year after year we go back to a stream, yet each time we fish there we read something new into the landscape. It may even be some picnic spot with a backdrop of mountain majesty we can still see in our mind even with our eyes closed. These places uplift our spirit, but we are hard-pressed to put into words exactly how or why we feel the way we do. The comforting sense of familiarity a prominent granite peak holds for us never quite gets communicated beyond the photo image. “Like all real treasures of the mind, perception can be split into infinitely small fractions without losing its quality.
