The' Town has the following comments:  Economic Concerns economic impacts.  There is not adequate language in the Draft EA addressing the negative economic impact due to the temporary loss of recreational opportunities. We suggest that the Draft EA needs more attention regarding  1    Dolores, Colorado) E 19s0  We would like to direct the Forest Service to the Dolores Chamber website asi this demonstrates current The concept ofac quality outdoor recreational experiencel has become the economic capstone of our focus and efforts. To that extent it needs to be recognized that FS Road 526 leading to county road 31 and either launching orl landing in Dolores via 11th Street has been a significant focus point for recreationists tol have access to our retail, lodging and services. These dollars are critically important to local business vitality and sustainability. Although mountain biking has drawn al lot of attention in this process iti is also important for FS to understand that the historic use oft the Forest via 11th Street and CR: 31 includes hiking, dispersed camping, hunting, access to McPhee reservoir, and winter recreation like skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, These activities currently serve as the primary economic driver for this town that is not only used by local recreationists but draws visitors from outside the town limits and county to the area. Boggy draw was featured in Outside magazine as ai number 1 destination area. Our priority is to maintain safety and access As one example, the Boggy Draw trail system is an extensive system of public land loop trails just outside ofDolores. With over 301 miles ofwell-groomed trails, Boggy Draw is an extremely popular destination for tourists and locals alike. There are several loops with four distinct levels of difficulty, which provides an outlet for any level ofs skill. We appreciate the Forest Service's efforts to recognize and treat differently the Boggy Draw trail system from the other areas in the project. To accompany the recognition oft this  identity of] Dolores. sssidorscon  and snowmobiling.  around this driver.  significant recreation area, we offer these comments;  More specific data is needed on reclamation procedures such as new and existing roads. More specific data or models need to be developed and shared for buffering existing trails. For this area specifically, we are: recommending the Forest Service consider requiring the contractors to work with the Southwest Colorado Cycling Association (SCCA) on' "best practices" for how to use existing roads as trail detours instead of a completely closing trails; to advise on trail detour routing and signage, and how this information will be provided to thej public. We suggest the trail realignments and restoration work should be funded' by proceeds from the Salter project. More specific data needs to be developed and shared on Boggy Draw harvest plans. The Town ofDolores also requests more specific data on project impacts tol hunters.  More specific data on thej process for addressing slash piles.  The Town engaged in conversations with local business owners around recreational economic drivers that sustained their establishments. Among the highest-ranking recreational activities was hunting. Both in terms of retail sales and lodging, the local business owners indicated that hunting, and more specifically big game hunting was a vital economic recreational sustainer for the success oflocal businesses going into fall Local business owners also projected that this recreational experience warranted strong protection because ofits large purchasing footprint. That is to say that more than other. maybe more passive recreational activities that occur int thej proposed Salter Y project area, hunters cover more oft the entirety of the Salter Y  and winter months.  project area. In addition, hunters come with lots ofpotential infrastructure needs.  2    Dolores, Colorada) Fs 1909  These include needs toj purchase food, beverages, ice, fuel, tags, ammunition, supplies, hardware, and they often also seek lodging, laundry, and restaurant services along with their recreational visit to this area. This could yield signifiçantly more economic viability than other more passive or quiet use activities require. When talking to local businesses, this sector of recreational users is what gave local business the final boost before the long winter months. Any further impact to big game. hunting areas could significantly reduce the draw of this recreational sector to the area and further impact those businesses who often count on that income to continue to pay into Dolores town sales, property and business taxes, and licensing. This knowledge in conjunction with the knowledge that big game such as elk arei in a severe decline in the Salter Yarea make iti imperative that this project does the most it can toi reduce any further impacts.  Safety, Noise and Impacts to Residents  We ask that more specific data on how speed limits and slow down signage will be posted and The speed limit at the point where.

DWRF looks to continue building on these collaborative roots and working across interests to meet ecological and community goals going forward.  2. DWRF has been substantially engaged in the Salter Project  DWRF has convened and engaged in Salter Project discussions since. January 2020, prior to the formal NEPA Scoping process. Since then, DWRF has supported collaborative dialogue regarding project goals, locations, monitoring and adaptive management, and local priorities.

During this engagement process, DWRF developed written agreements with the SJNF outlining expectations and commitments for the collaboration and the agency.
