I am opposed to removing the Roadless Rule. It has been wildly popular and agreed upon between hunters, outdoor recreationist, and community leaders in the areas. Specifically, for North Dakota and the Dakota Prairie Grasslands roadless areas. I personally frequent the roadless areas and enjoy one of the last few places in North Dakota with minimal infrastructure. I talked with the local rancher that leases the area by Bullion Butte and he had nothing negative to say about the way the lease is operated in the area and said DPG offices were generaly pretty respectful of any of his request. Since North Dakota has no harvestable forest in the Badlands and inventories roadless areas, the argument for lumber harvest is moot. And since oil production has been in the state for decades and technology has improved drastically, allowing extraction from 4-5 miles away with horizontal drilling, I also see no point in repealing the current rule as it would have no benefit to the Forest Service or the public at large. I strongly urge the Department to keep the current rule in place and keep the roadless rule in effect.
