Ashland Ski Area Expansion Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) Review April 19, 2010 Primary Staff Contact: Michael R. Faught Public Works E-Mail: faughtm@ashland.or.us N/A Secondary Contact: . Pieter Smeenk Martha Benne Estimated Time: 60 Minutes Question: Does the Council wish to direct staffto prepare written comments on the Mt. Ashland Ski Area Expansion Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement? Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council direct staff to prepare written comments on the Mt. Ashland Ski Area Expansion Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. Background: The Record of Decision (ROD) for the Mount Ashland Ski Area (MASA) Expansion was issued September 2004. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals subsequently remanded the case to the district court with instructions to enjoin the MASA expansion project until the Forest Service corrected the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) violations found in opinion CY-05-03004-PA. The NFMS was violated by failing to appropriately designate Riparian Reserves and Restricted Watershed terrain. The Forest Service has now prepared a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) in response to the violations and the 45 day comment period for the DSEIS. The 45 day Comment Period started March 26, 2010 and as such all comments have to be submitted by May 10, 20 I 0, Staff then engaged Carollo Engineers, the same engineering firm that has the Water Master Plan contract, to review the DSEIS for potential impacts to the watershed. To that end, the consultant's scope of work includes a review of the following components of the DSEIS: I) Restricted Riparian and Restricted Watershed Terrain - NFMA Claims . Failure to designate Restricted Riparian (MS 26) and Restricted Watershed (MS 22) terrain . Failure to evaluate soils standards and guidelines for MS 26 and MS 22 2) Riparian Reserves - NFMA Claim . Failure to designate Landslide Hazard Zone 2 as Riparian Reserve 3) Restricted Watershed Terrain - NFMA Claim . No Forest Plan Amendment to Exclude Restricted Watershed (MS 22) from Special Use Permit (SUP) Area Page I 0[2 r~' CITY OF A.SHLAND In addition, the consultant is evaluating the Record of Decision requirement to establish a proportional reserve fund for the expansion area prior to the issuance of a permit. This review will also include recommended funding levels. The consultant will complete their review by Friday April 16, 2010 and will then attend the Study Session to present their findings and recommendations.
