This 19,560-acre project area is located on the eastern side of the Hungry Horse Reservoir and includes portions of both the Hungry Horse and Spotted Bear Ranger Districts on the Flathead National Forest. Forest Supervisor, Chip Weber, is the responsible official for this project. The draft decision includes: commercial timber harvesting, pre-commercial sapling thinning, prescribed ecosystem burning, and planting activities to increase forest structural diversity and reduce stand densities, restore western white pine and western larch, improve forest resiliency, and maintain timber productivity; road management actions to reduce sediment, improve road drainage, and improve fish passage at road/stream crossings; and trail and trailhead reconstruction, vista creation along the East Side Reservoir Road (NF-38), and removal of hazard trees in camping areas to improve visitor safety and recreation experience. Additional information on the management actions in the selected alternative are included in the draft Decision Notice and in the updated Environmental Assessment. The updated Environmental Assessment, Finding of No Significant Impact, and the draft Decision Notice for the Betty Baptiste Project are available at www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=40128. These documents are also available for review at the Flathead National Forest Supervisor's Office at 650 Wolfpack Way, Kalispell, MT. The Betty Baptiste Project is subject to the objection process pursuant to 36 CFR 218, Subparts A and B. Objections that do not adhere to these requirements may be reason for the reviewing officer to set aside an objection, pursuant to §218.10. Objections will only be accepted from those who have previously submitted project-specific, written comments in response to scoping or the comment period provided for the environmental assessment, in accordance with §218.5(a). Issues raised in objections must be based on previously submitted timely, specific written comments regarding the proposed project, unless the issue is based on new information arising after the designated comment opportunities. Objections must meet the content requirements of §218.8(d), and include the following information: 1) the objector's name and address, with a telephone number or email address, if available; 2) a signature or other verification of authorship upon request (a scanned signature for email may be filed with the objection); 3) when multiple names are listed on an objection, identification of the lead objector as defined in §218.2 (verification of the identity of the lead objector shall be provided upon request); 4) the name of the project being objected to, the name and title of the responsible official, and the name of the national forest and ranger district on which the project will be implemented; 5) a description of those aspects of the project addressed by the objection, including specific issues related to the project and, if applicable, how the objector believes the environmental analysis or draft decision specifically violates law, regulation, or policy; suggested remedies that would resolve the objection; and supporting reasons for the reviewing officer to consider; and 6) a statement that demonstrates the connection between prior specific written comments on the particular project or activity and the content of the objection, unless the objection concerns an issue that arose after the designated opportunity for formal comment. With certain exceptions (§218.8(b)), all documents referenced in the objection must be included with the objection. An objection, including attachments, must be filed with the Objection Reviewing Officer within 45 calendar days following publication of the legal notice of the objection filing period in the newspaper of record, The Daily Inter Lake. The publication date in the newspaper of record is the exclusive means for calculating the time to file an objection. Objectors should not rely upon dates or timeframe information provided by any other source. It is the objector's responsibility to ensure timely filing of a written objection with the reviewing officer pursuant to §218.9. All objections are available for public inspection during and after the objection process.
