Forest Seeks Views On Two Projects

Tue., Nov. 28, 2000

The Nez Perce National Forest this week announced opportunities for the public to comment on two proposed projects.

An environmental assessment is out for comment on proposed gold exploration near Elk City, Idaho. The exploration proposal includes a temporary road, a new bridge and gold sampling by drilling roughly 20 core holes and a 2,000-foot trench. The proposal at the Gold Hill claim group is 18 miles southwest of Elk City. For more information, call Red River District Ranger Kevin Martin at (208) 842-2245.

The Clearwater Ranger District will hold a meeting from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Dec. 5 to discuss the status of the Meadow Face Stewardship Pilot Project to stabilize stream channels and improve access and recreation facilities. The meeting will be at the Clearwater Ranger District Office in Grangeville. For more information, call Heather Berg at (208) 983-1963.
