AND
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
FOR
TUCKER AND FRASE ROAD EASEMENT
USDA Forest Service
Rocky Mountain Region
White River National Forest
Rifle Ranger District
Garfield County, colorado
Decision and Reasons for the Decision
It is my decision to issue a road easement to Tucker and Frase partnership. The easement will authorize
reconstruction on portions of Forest Development Road 824 (Beaver Creek Road), as well as relocation of
the road in other areas. An Operating Plan with construction stipulations and standards must be signed as
a condition of the easement. In addition the Partnership must grant two reciprocal trail rights-of-way.
Tucker and Frase Partnerships applied for authorization to access their property and haul privately owned
timber across the Beaver Creek Road. Section 1323 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act
(ANILCA), of December 2, 1980 provides a qualified statutory right of access to owners of land which is
surrounded by federal lands. The landowners are currently working with Garfield County to obtain a Special
Use Permit for harvesting private land timber.
Forest Service direction is to minimize environmental damage while allowing roads, which will over the
long-term, be acceptable transportation facilities. The existing road has pitches which exceed Forest Service
standards, is causing sediment to flow into Beaver Creek and would not allow the private landowners to use
their private lands as proposed. Key issues considered in the analysis were a) slope stability hazard
associated with development of portions of a new road,; b) landowners desire to access and manage their
property; c) effects on range improvements; and d) effects on public access. Other additional issues were
considered but not found to be within the scope of the National Forest System lands analysis or key issues.
The White River National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan was consulted when analyzing the
proposal. No direction was found that would require a different decision.
Alternatives Considered
The following alternatives were considered.
1) No Action. As previously mentioned, ANILCA provides that a landowner is entitled to reasonable
access to their private inholding. The No Action alternative in this case would be to leave Forest
Development Road 824 as it currently is and authorize access across the existing road.
2. Proposed Action. This alternative would authorize construction and reconstruction of the road facility
according to design plans submitted by Tucker and Frase Partnership. They proposed using Forest
Service design standards.
3. Geotechnical Alternative. This alternative would authorize construction and reconstruction of the
road to Forest Service standards and construction specifications. During construction a geotechnical
engineer would be on-site to make modifications as needed in design standards. The entire road would
also be gravelled.
Decision Notice FONSI/DN - 1
Public Involvement
The Rifle Ranger District sent letters in September 1996 to eight individuals, groups or agencies for public
scoping on this proposal. In addition, an article was published in the local newspaper requesting comments,
issues, or concerns. One comment letter was received.
An Opportunity to Comment notice was published in the Glenwood Post newspaper on June 11, 1997. That
notice announced the availability of the draft EA for public review and comment. Copies of the Opportunity
to Comment notice and EA were mailed to ten individuals, or groups. The 30 day comment period ended on
July 11, 1997. One request for a copy of the draft EA was received. No comments were received.
Decision
Based upon the analysis and evaluation described in the environmental assessment it is my decision to
implement Alternative three, identified as the geotechnical alternative. This alternative would allow construc-
tion of certain new portions of the Beaver Creek Road and reconstruction of other portions. A geotechnical
engineer will be on-site while all road construction takes place, observing road cuts and fills. Forest Service
road construction standards and construction specifications will be followed.
Reasons for the Decision
The selection action allows the Tucker and Frase Partnership to access their private inholding and utilize the
land as proposed. In addition, a geotechnical engineer on-site will be able to mitigate unforseen circumstanc-
es, particularity ground water seepage.
Finding of No Significant Impact
Effects to National Forest System Lands from this road reconstruction and construction and use proposal can
be acceptably mitigated.
Construction and use of the road will not affect public health and safety.
There are no unique characteristics of the geographical area which would set it apart from similar areas where
there is experience with road construction and use. The proposed road is not in proximity to historic or cultural
resources, prime farm lands, wetlands, wild and scenic rivers or ecologically critical areas.
The proposal to construct and reconstruction this road is not highly controversial.
The effects of the proposed road on the human environment are not highly uncertain, nor do they involve
unique or unknown risks.
Authorizing construction, reconstruction and use of the road is not precedent -setting. It does not establish
a precedent for future actions which may have a significant effect on the environment. It does not represent
a decision in principle about a future consideration.
There will not be significant cumulative impacts based on analysis which considered past, existing, and
reasonably forseeable activities.
The proposed road will not adversely effect districts, sites, highways, structures, or objects listed in or eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places nor will it cause loss or destruction of significant scientific,
cultural, or historical resources.
The road will not adversely affect endangered or threatened species or their habitat.
Allowing construction and reconstruction does not threaten a violation of Federal, State, or local law require-
ments imposed for the protection of the environment.
FONSI/DN - 2 Decision Notice
Findings Required by Other Laws and Regulations
The environmental analysis documented in the EA is tiered to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for
the White River National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. I have determined that this decision
is consistent with the Forest Plan. The activities and projects approved in this decision are consistent with
standards and guidelines in Forest Direction and Management Direction on pages III -5 and III -62.
Alternative three complies with other laws and regulations such as the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species
Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. There will be no adverse effects on any threatened or
endangered species or on cultural resources. Executive orders 11988 and 11990, dealing with floodplains
and wetlands will be complied with.
