Area Projects; Correction

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement; 
correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Forest Service published a document in the Federal 
Register of July 6, 2012, concerning the notice of intent to prepare an 
environmental impact statement. The document contained incorrect 
information pertaining to a component of the proposed action.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldora EIS NEPA Contractor, Travis 
Beck, (970) 668-3398 ext. 103.

Correction

    In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-16300, on 
page 39987, in the second column, correct the DATES caption to read:
    ``Comments concerning the scope of the analysis must be received by 
August 31, 2012. The draft environmental impact statement is expected 
to be available for public review in June 2013 and the final 
environmental impact statement is expected in April 2014.''
    In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-16300, on 
page 39987, in the third column, correct the first paragraph under the 
Proposed Action Heading to read:

    The project area includes 615 acres of National Forest System 
(NFS) lands and 435 acres of private lands. The Forest Service only 
maintains jurisdiction over NFS lands; however, to fulfill its 
obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the 
Forest Service will analyze the entire project area for direct, 
indirect and cumulative effects. The proposed projects would add 
approximately 70 acres of traditional terrain and include 
approximately 70 acres of gladed terrain projects. Much of the 
traditional terrain construction will require tree removal for the 
area of the trails, approximating 70 acres of removal, although a 
more accurate quantity of tree removal will be disclosed in the EIS 
as all proposed trails may not necessitate complete tree removal. 
Each project component is discussed below and shown on the enclosed 
Eldora Mountain Resort Ski Area Projects map. Additional detail can 
be viewed at www.EldoraEIS.com.

    In the Federal Register of July 6, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-16300, on 
page 39988, in the first column, correct numbers 4 through 6 under the 
Proposed Action Heading to read:

    4. Jolly Jug Lift and Trails--Install a new four or six-person 
chairlift and construct four new Intermediate trails (approximately 
20 acres of terrain) and approximately 10 acres of Intermediate 
ability level glades. A Forest Plan amendment would be required to 
adjust the SUP boundary to include approximately 16 acres of the 
southern portion of the Jolly Jug Pod.
    5. Snowmaking--Expand snowmaking coverage to include all new 
traditional trails (not in any of the gladed areas) totaling 
approximately 70 acres.
    6. Roads and Utilities--Build new road spurs and install 
utilities to construct and maintain the following proposed lifts and 
facilities: Placer Express Lift, Jolly Jug Lift, Challenge Lift, The 
Lookout Facility, and Challenge Mountain Facility. Proposed Mountain 
Access Roads are depicted by black dashed lines on the attached 
Eldora Mountain Resort Ski Area Projects map. The existing 
snowmaking infrastructure would deliver drinking water to The 
Lookout and Challenge Mountain facilities, as is the current method 
for The Lookout Facility. On-site septic systems would accommodate 
sewage deposal for the proposed Lookout Facility and Challenge 
Mountain Facility.
