Reading Room
Dear Mr. Hoyt:
In accordance with 36 CFR 215.18, I have reviewed the appeal record, Record of Decision
(ROD) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (PElS) for the Smoky Canyon Mine Panels F
& G Project on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.
My review focused on the project documentation and the issues raised in the appeal you filed on
behalf of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Natural Resources Defense Council, Caribou Clean
Water Partnership, East Idaho Group Sierra Club, Defenders of Wildlife, and the Idaho
Conservation League.
Regretfully, I must dismiss the appeals by the Caribou Clean Water Partnership and Defenders of
Wildlife. The record for this project indicates the Caribou Clean Water Partnership and
Defenders of Wildlife did not provide comments during the comment period. To be eligible to
appeal, individuals or organizations must submit comments during the comment period (36 CFR
215.13).
