BLM Coeur d’Alene Field Office seeks public input on the West Fork Pine Creek Route Structures
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Coeur d’Alene Field Office seeks public input on the proposed West Fork Pine Creek Route Structures Project to determine potential environmental impacts.
The West Fork Pine Creek Route, which has a section that is referred to as the “Rollercoaster,” is located within the Rochat Divide-Pine Creek Special Recreation Management Area. The “Rollercoaster” section of the route has man-made structures that have not been analyzed, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
The Coeur d’Alene Field Office intends to analyze the impact of the structures on the human and natural environment using the NEPA process. Analysis is necessary to address concerns regarding potential impacts to natural resources.
The comment period regarding the structures will run from November 21, 2024, to December 23, 2024, and comments may be submitted on the BLM’s ePlanning site at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2035309/510. For more information, please contact the Coeur d’Alene Field Office at 208-769-5000.
