Roadless area comments may be screened
RARE II input to
be made public
An analysis of more than
260,000 public comments on
how 62 million acres of
national forest roadless areas
should be used can be examin
ed soon in Forest Service
offices across the country,
Forest Service Chief John R.
McGuire announced this
week .
He said the comments will
help the U.S. Department of
Argriculture develop its
recommendations on which of
the proposed HARE II areas
should be wilderness, non-
wilderness or require further
planning.
On June 15, Forest Service
issued a draft enviromcntal
statement containing alterna
tive approaches for allocating
use of over 2, 0(H) roadless and
underdeveloped areas in the
187-million-acre National For
est System. The Forest Ser

merits on approaches decision
makers should consider in
allocating the total roadless
area inventory, criteria to use
in developing a proposed
course of action and reasons
why specific roadless areas
should be wilderness, non
wilderness or subject to furth
er planning. The period for
submitting comments ended
Oct. 1.
McGuire said the 264,093
public comments received on
the draft was the largest
public response the agency
has ever received on the
enviromental statement. The
Forest Service established a
temporary center at Salt Lake
City, Utah, where each com
ment was read and and
included in the analysis of
public response. McGuire said
the comments came from
nearly 300,000 individuals, and
included letters, reports, res
olutions, petitions, form let
ters and response forms.
Comments were received
from every state with the
largest number coming from
Oregon, Idaho and California,
in that order.
McGuire said the public
may view a display of the
public comment and analysis
at Forest Service headquart
ers in Washington, D C. and in
regional and forest offices
throughout the country begin
ning next week. The display,
on microfilm, consists of
tables which ' show break
downs of responses by states
and types of responses in the
categories of approaches,
decision criteria and site
preferences. McGuire said
every roadless area mention
ed in the draft enviromental
statement received comments
which recommended either
wilderness or non-wilderness
status. Very few people rec
ommended further planning,
he said. "High scenic beauty
and wild values" was the most
frequently given reason for
recommending wilderness de
signation of specific areas.
The most frequently given
reason for recommending
non-wilderness status for spe
cific areas was "negative
impact on the economy."
Another category on which
the public was asked to
comment related to approach
es or methods decision
makers should use in deciding
allocation of the total roadless
area inventory. "Scenery"
and "preserving wildlife"
were the most frequently cited
reasons in the comments
received favoring an ap
proach which would empha
size wilderness designation.
"Motorized access and rec
reation," "economics and
jobs," and "timber values"
were the most frequently
identified reasons in the
comments which favored an
approach emphasizing alloca
tion of areas to non-wilderness.
The draft statement sug
gested seven criteria which
could be used in developing
recommendations for allocat
ing the roadless areas. Mc
Guire said all seven suggested
criteria were supported by
public comments. The criter
ion most frequently supported
was consideration of meeting
the Forest Service targets
established in the 1975 pro
gram required by the Renewa
ble Resources Planning Act.
In addition to the seven
primary criteria, the public
also suggested other criteria
to be used, such as "manage
able boundaries," and "adja
cent to existing wilderness."
McGuire said that USDA
recommendations for use. of
the roadless areas will be set
forth in a final enviromental
statement to be issued by the
end of the year.
The Administration's prop
osals for which of the areas -should,
be designated wilder
ness will go early to the 96th
Congress, he said. Congress
usually holds hearings on the
proposals before any areas
are designated wilderness.
McGuire said the Forest
Service will hold hearings on
those roadless areas which
Congress has already designa
ted as "wilderness study"
areas. McGuire noted also
that there will be additional
opportunities for public com
ment on areas recommended
for further study as they move
through the regular land
planning processes.
