Final Environmental Impact Statement for Travel Management on the Santa Fe National Forest, Santa Fe, New Mexico
The forest supervisor of the Santa Fe National Forest proposes to make changes to the current system of roads, trails, and areas open to motorized use. The result will be fewer roads, motorized trails, and specific areas designated for motorized use. Motorized cross-country travel, driving off of roads or motorized trails, will be prohibited except in designated motorized areas and fixed-distance corridors solely for the purpose of motorized dispersed camping or motorized big game retrieval. Part of the proposal amends the “Santa Fe National Forest Plan” to comply with the Travel Management Rule, which implements Executive Orders 11644 and 11989. This document analyzes five action alternatives showing different motorized systems. The action alternatives are based on the public’s comments during the scoping and notice and comment periods. The forest supervisor’s preferred alternative is 2M, which modifies slightly alternative 2 based on public comments during the notice and comment period.
