Public Scoping Comment Analysis


On March 10, 2015, the National Park Service (NPS) released the Public Scoping Newsletter for the Livertock Grazing and Trailing Management Plan EIS to the public for review and comment. The newsletter included a description of the project background, purpose and need, project objectives, preliminary management practices and tools, resource impact topics, and the planning process. The newsletter was available for public review until May 15, 2015. During the scoping period, two public meetings were held in Bicknell and Hanksville. NPS staff members were on hand to visit with meeting attendees, to answer questions, and to accept handwritten comments. An online webinar was also offered for interested parties who could not make the in-person meeting, and included a presentation of the information provided at the in-person public meetings, and question and answer session.

The NPS read and analyzed all public correspondence received during the scoping period. A file containing the text of all correspondences can be viewed and downloaded here. Additionally, a summary of public comments is provided in the Public Scoping Comment Summary Report, which may also be viewed and downloaded here. The report contains an introduction, some statistical comment analysis, concern statements, and a selection of representative quotes from individuals and organizations.
