The Pagosa Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest is conducting public scoping to gather input for several proposed projects in the Jackson Mountain area, northeast of Pagosa Springs and north of the San Juan River Village subdivision in Archuleta County. The initial proposals consider trail system development, fuels and vegetation management, and gravel pit development. We are inviting your input on the initial project proposals during this 45-day scoping period.
Disclaimer: All contact information is optional; however, anonymous comments will not provide ‘standing to object’.
The scoping period began on January 10 and ends on February 23, 2023. Scoping comments must be submitted no later than February 23, 2023. Comments received during scoping will be used to help identify issues and develop alternatives.
There will be further opportunities for public involvement during the analysis, but early participation during the scoping period is encouraged. Comments received, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered a part of the public record and available for public inspection.
Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered, but those who submit anonymously will not be put on the project mailing list to receive future information.
