Public involvement to develop projects to implement the Forest Plan in the Blackwater Watershed
The Forest Service values public participation. Communications from the public, including commenters names and contact information will become a part of the public record for this effort. Comments, including anonymous comments, are accepted at any time. However comments posted after the close of a designated comment period may not be able to be given full consideration. Comments, or in some cases other expressions of interest, along with respondent’s contact information, submitted during the comment period may be necessary to establish a respondent’s eligibility to participate in an administrative review. Interested members of the public should review the provided information to determine if any administrative review process applies and the eligibility requirements for that process.
