Comment period for Cibola Forest ends April 2

Jim Kalvelage

A 30-day comment period is running on an environmental assessment for travel management on the Cibola National Forest's Mountainair Ranger Dis-trict.

The project's proposed action would designate a motorized road and trail system that would provide for public access and motorized recreation travel on the district, which includes a part of northwestern Lincoln County.

The designation would include the types of vehicles, including ATVs and motorcycles, and the times of year for motorized use. The decision will result in the publication of a motor vehicle use map.

After the map is released, traveling off the designated system will be prohibited unless authorized by permit.

The environmental assessment can be accessed on the Cibola National Forest's Web site.

Three open houses were scheduled to allow the public to ask questions about the travel management plan.

Written, facsimile, hand delivered, oral and electronic comments concerning the plan will be accepted through April 2.

Comments should be directed to:

Nancy Rose, Cibola National Forest, 2113 Osuna Road, NE, Albuquerque, NM 87113. Phone: 505-346-3900 Fax: 505-346-3901.
