An environmental assessment (EA) for the Sulphur Lick Run Road Decommissioning and Relocation project has been prepared by the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service in accordance with Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act. The Marlinton/White Sulphur Springs Ranger District is proposing to provide improvements to several forest roads within the Brushy Mountain Grouse Management Area of the Monongahela National Forest, which were heavily damaged by storms and flooding in 2016. The project includes the decommissioning of a segment of Sulphur Lick Run Road and providing an alternate access route by reconstructing FR 719A and unnamed woods road. The non-system unnamed woods road is a proposed addition to the MNF formal road system and, as such, would need to be brought up to Forest Service standards.
An electronic version of the EA is available for your review on the project website: https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/projects/wv/wverfofs201616/. Paper copies of the document are available upon request.
This EA will be available for public review from October 29, 2018 through November 28, 2018. During this 30-day period, hardcopies of the EA will be available for review at the Marlinton/White Sulphur Ranger District, 1627 Cemetery Road, Marlinton, West Virginia 24954, and the McClintic Public Library, 500 8th Street, Marlinton, West Virginia 24954.
