Elsmere Canyon Proposed Solid Waste Management Facility; Intent 
To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Revised notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact 
statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Angeles National Forest published a Notice of Intent to 
prepare an environmental impact statement for a non-significant 
amendment to the Angeles National Forest Land and Resources Management 
Plan in Volume 55, No. 173 / Thursday, September 6, 1990. The amendment 
would add 1640 acres to the Land Adjustment Plan, which is part of the 
Land and Resources Management Plan. This is in response to a proposal 
to exchange land for the purpose of development of a solid waste 
management facility in the Elsmere Canyon area of the Tujunga Ranger 
District, Angeles National Forest, Los Angeles County, California.
    The Forest wishes to revise and update the Notice of Intent with 
the following information:

DECISION: The Forest Service must decide whether or not to exchange 
1643 acres of National Forest land currently within the boundaries of 
the Angeles National Forest for private lands within the boundaries of 
Angeles National Forest. Other private lands within the boundaries of 
other National Forests within Southern California, may also be 
considered. As part of that decision, an amendment to the existing 
Angeles National Forest Land Adjustment Plan would be made, adding the 
1643 acres to the Adjustment Plan. Further, the Angeles Land and 
Resources Management Plan would be amended to reflect the changes in 
the Plan as a result of the decision. This decision will be subject to 
appeal under 36 CFR 215.

DATES: A revised date for the DEIS to be filed with the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) and to be available for public review is on or 
about December 31, 1994. The Final EIS is scheduled to be completed by 
December, 1995.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL: The responsible official will be the Regional 
Forester, Pacific Southwest Region, 630 Sansome St., San Francisco, Ca. 
94111.

OTHER PROVISIONS: All other provisions of the original notice remain 
accurate.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions about the proposed 
action and environmental impact statement may be directed to Charles K. 
McDonald, 701 N. Santa Anita Ave., Arcadia, CA. 91006 or phone (818) 
574-5257.

    Dated: November 7, 1994.
Michael J. Rogers,
Forest Supervisor.
