3.5 Individuals Ascent Environmental Comments and Responses 3.5 Individuals Letter I1 Rachel Debecker July 21, 2019 Comment I1-1 HI- I l live in Cool, (and have been here for 18 years) and do not want to have any campsites in our state park. It adds too much maintenance, and the wildfire threat is very dangerous in our area. With campers' stoves, and campfires, we are in danger of a fire disaster. Please keep our small town safe, and do not permit campsites in Cool. Response I1-1 The comment’s expression of opposition to the addition of campsites proposed by the GP/RMP was provided to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and California State Parks (CSP). Refer to Master Response 3, Wildfire Risk, which addresses changes to the GP/RMP in response to concerns about new campsites and risk of wildfire associated with campsites. No specific issues related to the content, analysis, or conclusions in the Draft EIR/EIS are raised in this comment. Letter I2 Janice Nelson Stevens July 22, 2019 Comment I2-1 Is there any restrictions due to fire danger that lighting a campfire would be possibly eliminated? The policy should read, "UNDER SUPERVISION by Park Personnel" to eliminate loss of homes, vegetation in the areas of camping being allowed. Response I2-1 Refer to Goal OP 3 of the Preliminary GP/Draft RMP, which describes the implementation of public safety and security measures to protect visitors and resources. These measures could include prohibiting campfires during periods of elevated fire risk and/or in locations where fire risk is greatest. Please also refer to Master Response 3, Wildfire Risk, which describes elements of the Preliminary GP/Draft RMP intended to prevent wildfires, including a new guideline that describes how site-specific conditions would be assessed to determine if, when, and under what circumstances campfires would be allowed in new or expanded campgrounds. The comment is directed towards implementation of the Preliminary GP/Draft RMP and does not address the content, analysis, or conclusions in the Draft EIR/EIS. Letter I3 Becca Foles July 24, 2019 Comment I3-1 I am a citizen in Foresthill. I wanted to share that aside from the insurance crisis (our insurance was $1,250 and our renewal increased 520%!! The only quotes I've obtained outside of the CA Fair Plan are for $11,500, $16,000, and $19,432), I received an email from one company declining a quote because "there is a recreational area below the slope of the property". Insurance companies will not even issue quotes, regardless of our defensible fire space or removing 117 trees because of a recreation area down the hill we live on. Auburn SRA General Plan/APL Resource Management Plan Final EIR/EIS 3-193 Comments and Responses Ascent Environmental Please, as we are facing a housing market crash in the foothills, consider the fact that insurance companies are declining quotes because of location to recreational areas. We need to fix this insurance crisis first before adding recreational areas that will only make our homes even more difficult to insure. I have yet to find an option in that regard. First time home buyer 11 months ago too. Response I3-1 See Master Response 3, Wildfire Risk, which addresses concerns related to wildfire in ASRA/APL and homeowner’s insurance and identifies actions that would be taken with implementation of the Preliminary GP/Draft RMP that would reduce wildfire risk. Letter I4 Donna Hughes July 24, 2019 Comment I4-1 Please add me to the list to receive information about planning for Auburn SRA future plans. Response I4-1 Comment noted. No specific issues related to the content, analysis, or conclusions in the Draft EIR/EIS are raised in this comment. Letter I5 Rick Wolfe July 25, 2019 Comment I5-1 Please add me to your mailing list Response I5-1 The commenter has been added to the contact list for the GP/RMP. No specific issues related to the content, analysis, or conclusions in the Draft EIR/EIS are raised in this comment. Letter I6 Sheila Larson July 30, 2019 Comment I6-1 I am disturbed that there is no link to the NOA on BOR's web page, therefore I did not know this document was available until recently nor locations where I can review it. The file is far to [sic] large for me to download with my internet access (or lack thereof) and the ASRA office on Highway 49 only has an in office copy and cannot provide an area in which to review it making it fairly useless. In addition they do not have cds available for me to take home and review, which should be standard operating procedure. Therefore I do not have the entire 45 days to review the large document(s). This size document should have at least a 90 day review period not a 45 day review period given the amount of local concern and interest. 3-194 Auburn SRA General Plan/APL Resource Management Plan Final EIR/EIS Ascent Environmental Comments and Responses In addition, the library in Auburn California does not have a copy of the EIR/EIS, which as it is the library closest to the impact area and where the public meeting was held is a significant oversight. The document in Placerville is approximately hour away from me and an hour away from Auburn and at minimum of 30 minutes from the impact area. I will be attending the public meeting and will bring these oversights to the attention of BOR, Ascent Environmental, and the public. In addition please send me contact information for your immediate supervisor. Response I6-1 See Master Response 2, which describes the extensive public outreach process that provided many different types of outreach regarding the planning process for the GP/RMP and environmental review process for the Draft EIR/EIS. The Draft EIR/EIS was available for review online and at multiple public libraries and offices in and around Auburn. During the public review period, in response to comments submitted to CSP and Reclamation, additional hard copies of the Draft EIR/EIS were provided at various libraries in Placer and El Dorado counties and the public comment period was extended by two weeks to provide additional review time. The minimum public review times established by CEQA and NEPA were exceeded. Letter I7 Lorna Dobrovolny August 1, 2019 Comment I7-1 On behalf of the Cool and Georgetown Divide Communities, I respectfully request a time extension for submittal of public comments regarding the draft Auburn State Recreation Area (ASRA) General Plan for the following reasons: • Size of the project area is 30,000 acres and 40 miles of river canyon. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and California State Parks have taken years to put together the proposed Plan. Along the way, there have been major modifications and additions. For those of us who have been attempting to follow the Plan's development, it's difficult to understand what is currently proposed compared to past proposals. It takes time to digest the draft Plan's full scope especially for those who want to review and comment thoughtfully and effectively. Forty-five days to review a project plan of this size in a working person's "spare time" is insufficient. • NO prior outreach to the communities surrounding ASRA The Cool "Open House" scheduled for August 15 is 19 calendar days from the deadline for comment on September 3. This event offers no formal presentation nor explanation of the Proposed Action. The Cool and Georgetown Divide Communities are left to their own devices to figure out what it is being proposed. Since many changes in prior drafts have occurred, gossip abounds as to just what BOR and State Parks are proposing. Our communities have serious concerns about INCREASED FIRE HAZARDS, campgrounds, traffic, opening a non-motorized road to vehicles and new day use areas on the river. These are significant impacts that are required to be addressed under the NEPA/CEQA process. Little time exists to determine whether these proposals fit with the communities' needs. Auburn SRA General Plan/APL Resource Management Plan Final EIR/EIS 3-195 Comments and Responses Ascent Environmental • NO prior targeted outreach to stakeholder groups, particularly equestrian groups Equestrians have been using ASRA for at least a century and continue to present day. They have been slowly pushed out of several portions of ASRA due to safety concerns and loss of parking opportunities (Stagecoach Trailhead, China Bar Trailhead, Confluence at the Middle Fork etc.) Every time State Parks "improves" trailhead parking, no thought is given to horse trailer accessibility. This is just one of many concerns voiced by the equestrian community. Yet no outreach is offered to this or other stakeholder groups. • NO prior outreach to private property owners impacted by this Proposed Action Private property owners must live with the actions of their neighbors (ASRA) every day. Their input is vital in developing an excellent plan. For reasons stated above and many others, I request an extension of the public comment period to offer recreationists and communities surrounding ASRA to fully digest the Proposed Action and offer effective comment. The BOR and State Parks will have a much- improved final document if they include community and stakeholder groups. I know. I was the project manager who developed a very similar river corridor management plan, the South Yuba River Comprehensive Management Plan in Nevada County, California. The Management Team conducted over 40 public meetings, collected extensive recreation use and water quality data, provided "on the ground" tours for the interested public and conducted many outreach days on the river to solicit public comment.

  • Nude in Mexico
    Feb. 1, 2004---- RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO -- The road is full of questions that inevitably lead to the beauty of travel. This is how I find myself leaning on a bar at the Moonlight disco at the Hidden Beach Resort-Au Naturel Club, the only upscale and not clothing- optional nudist resort in Mexico. A naked woman walks up to me and asks, "Is this your first naked experience?" Gee, how can she tell? I am standing in a corner of the bar that is under a shadow of doubt. About 20 naked couples have finished doing a limbo dance on a cool night along the Caribbean Sea. With the exception of a gentleman from Mexico, I am the only single guy in the disco. At this point, no one knows I am a journalist, but I am the only person in the room still wearing a bathrobe. It is too cold to be bold. Besides, I am so shy, I do not limbo with my clothes on. I barely ever go to clothed cocktail parties. My chipper friends are also mastering "The Macarena." Talk about your Polaroid moments. Cameras are not allowed at Hidden Beach. One dude is playing pool naked. Another guy looks like Jeff "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Garlin. His wife is applying for a job at Hidden Beach. He smiles and takes off his robe to join in a group dance to Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie." Nude tourists are more open and they bond faster. I have another shot of tequila. I am here for you. The nude recreation industry is news.

Schroer 2001 NUDISTS IN THE KNOW: INVESTIGATING SOCIAL ASSUMPTIONS OF A CLOTHED SOCIETY Sandra E. Schroer, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2001 This work is an institutional ethnography on the ruling rela­ tions of clothing in society. Research was conducted through a standpoint methodology which combines interviews, participant observation and the first hand experiences of the researcher. The interview data reveals nudists' belief in a social pre­ occupation with body ideals and the power structures created by some uses of clothing. The subjects in this research apply their ex­ periences in both the clothed world and the non-clothed world to ex­ pose the implications of the social structures of clothing which appear to effect interpersonal relationships, gender and disability, inequality, prejudice and ageism.

  • Award Winning Nudity? Kissimmee Woman Decorated for 30 Years of Promoting Clothing-Free Lifestyle
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE READY TO PRINT OR EDIT AS NEEDED CONTACT: Cypress Cove Marketing Department 407.933.5870 [email protected] Award winning nudity? Kissimmee woman decorated for 30 years of promoting clothing-free lifestyle KISSIMMEE, FL, July 22, 2020 Unbeknownst to many, the nudist movement in North America has been quietly and steadily growing since its introduction to our shores in the early 1900s. In recent years, there has even been a considerable uptick of interest and participation by newcomers to au natural recreation, thanks to the work of nudist proponents like Carolyn Hawkins, who recently received the nudist movement’s Hall of Fame Award recognizing her thirty years of promoting clothing-free living. It might be surprising to learn that such an award exists. After all, nudism is kind of a fringe lifestyle, right? Seriously. How many people even do this? Actually, quite a few, and you might even know someone. Nudism encompasses more than just a desire to throw off the shackles of clothing and with it our inhibitions. It is really a philosophy of living that prefers the freedom of a natural existence, no matter what you happen to be doing. “People do very normal things in the nude,” Hawkins says. “They skinny dip in their pools and hot tubs, clean the house, sleep nude, garden, and sun in the privacy of their own backyards. Then you have nude travel and vacations, going to nudist resorts, nude camping, hiking, and even nude cruises.” Hawkins, who lives and works at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, has more than thirty years of experience explaining just why people would want to take off their clothes in mixed company.

  • Inventoried Roadless Areas and Wilderness Evaluations
    Introduction and Evaluation Process Summary Inventoried Roadless Areas and Wilderness Evaluations For reader convenience, all wilderness evaluation documents are compiled here, including duplicate sections that are also found in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Appendix D Inventoried Roadless Areas. Introduction and Evaluation Process Summary Inventoried Roadless Areas Proposed Wilderness by and Wilderness Evaluations Alternative Introduction and Evaluation Process Summary Roadless areas refer to substantially natural landscapes without constructed and maintained roads. Some improvements and past activities are acceptable within roadless areas. Inventoried roadless areas are identified in a set of maps contained in the Forest Service Roadless Area Conservation Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), Volume 2, November 2000. These areas may contain important environmental values that warrant protection and are, as a general rule, managed to preserve their roadless characteristics. In the past, roadless areas were evaluated as potential additions to the National Wilderness Preservation System. Roadless areas have maintained their ecological and social values, and are important both locally and nationally. Recognition of the values of roadless areas is increasing as our population continues to grow and demand for outdoor recreation and other uses of the Forests rises. These unroaded and undeveloped areas provide the Forests with opportunities for potential wilderness, as well as non-motorized recreation, commodities and amenities. The original Forest Plans evaluated Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) data from the mid- 1980s and recommended wilderness designation for some areas. Most areas were left in a roadless, non- motorized use status. This revision of Forest Plans analyzes a new and more complete land inventory of inventoried roadless areas as well as other areas identified by the public during scoping.
