County filed a formal objection to Grand Targhee resort FEIS
Teton County commissioners are set to discuss a formal administrative objection, filed July 7, to the Forest Service FEIS and Forest Plan Amendment for the Grand Targhee Resort Master Development Plan Project.
Teton County’s Board of County Commissioners is set to take up a formal administrative objection it filed July 7 with the Caribou-Targhee National Forest over the Grand Targhee Resort Master Development Plan Project’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Forest Plan Amendment Grand Targhee Objection Letter. In plain terms, the county is telling the Forest Service to slow down long enough to answer the record, and to write the decision so the mitigations are enforceable, not just described.
The letter says the county is “not” trying to stop the project, but it is objecting to the FEIS, draft Record of Decision, and the plan amendment that would allow expansion of the resort’s Special Use Permit area. The commissioners’ objection is a formal step in the federal process. It asks the Forest Service to respond before signing a final decision, which is where locals should watch for whether the agency agrees to changes or stands pat and moves toward approval Grand Targhee Objection Letter.
