The U.S. Forest Service has released the draft environmental impact statement for the Tahoe National Forest over-snow vehicle use designation project.

The USFS is proposing to designate snow trails and areas for public OSV use on the Tahoe National Forest. The Forest Service will also identify snow trails where grooming for public OSV use would occur within the Tahoe National Forest.

The notice of availability will initiate a 45-day public comment period on April 13 on the DEIS.

The DEIS is available online.

In addition, the Tahoe National Forest will be answering at open houses on April 24 and May 2. The April meeting is from 3-7pm at the Sierraville Ranger Station and the May event is from3-7pm at the Holiday Inn in Auburn.
