DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service


Loon Mountain Ski Area Improvements and Expansion

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of a supplement to a final environmental impact 
statement.

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

SUMMARY: On August 4, 1998, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a 
Supplement to the Loon Mountain Ski Area South Mountain Expansion 
Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the White 
Mountain National Forest was published in the Federal Register (Volume 
63, Number 149) pages 41541-41543. This notice is being withdrawn 
because the Forest service will prepare an environmental impact 
statement (EIS) rather than a supplement to the FEIS to disclose the 
environmental effects of Loon Mountain Recreation Corporation's 
proposal to develop and expand recreational facilities at Loon Mountain 
Ski Resort. This decision is based on changes to the original purpose 
and need for the Proposed Action since the FEIS was prepared. The 
Forest Service NOI to prepare a supplemental is hereby rescinded.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jay Strand, Project Coordinator, US 
Forest Service, 99 Ranger Road, Rochester, Vermont, 05767; TTY phone
