The comment
I strongly oppose the proposed rescission of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule and urge USDA to select Alternative 1, No Action. I am a year-round South Lake Tahoe-area resident living in a community directly affected by wildfire risk and economically dependent on healthy public lands. My attached comment addresses wildfire management under the existing Rule, USDA's own characterization of expected near-term management opportunities as "modest and localized," recreation and tourism reliance interests, and the fiscal consequences of expanding an already underfunded Forest Service road network.
Please consider the attached document as my full substantive comment.
