Another way to comment on the OSM's Environmental Impact Study process

A reclaimed stream in Floyd County

At Monday's OSM Open House, OSM provided some useful worksheets to help people understand what the OSM plans to study in the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for the proposed stream protection rule.

KFTC has uploaded these worksheets to our website as well as a comment form provided by the OSM. You can review the EIS worksheets to get a better sense about what the OSM is proposing.  After reading through them you can then fill out the provided comment form, save it, and then email it as an attachment to [email protected] with the subject line OSM-EIS-35.

Each worksheet describes an aspect of the EIS and lists the different options the OSM will be studying. What the OSM wants to know is:

1. Are there options OSM should consider that are not listed?


2. Is there a reason the OSM should not consider one of the listed options?

Also, you can download some suggested comments from KFTC and ally organizations here.

Comments need to be emailed to the OSM office by the end of business on Friday, July 30th.
