Public Comment: Sierra Nevada Framework Comments

Public Comment: Sierra Nevada Framework Comments; Request for Extension

The information in the Sierra Nevada Framework is flawed at best when it deals with fire and the dangers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. With the recent fire in Los Alamos, NM, fire is in the forefront and it is felt if the Governor is going to step in, fire is the best tool. PLEASE send your letter TODAY! Please add your own comment to these letter as well. We need to get hundreds if not thousands of letters to the Governor ASAP. Thank you in advance for your help and tell a friend to send one also.

The Forest Service is accepting public comments until August 11, 2000 on the Sierra Nevada Framework. The 4x4Wire is providing the following comments ready to send via e-mail. A copy of these letters will be forwarded to Governor Davis, State of California and the Sierra Nevada Framework Project Office.

Governor Gray Davis Governor, of the State of California State Capitol Sacramento CA 95814 E-mail: graydavis@governor.ca.gov Dear Governor Davis: The Forest Service released its 1500 page proposal for the Sierra Nevada Framework and only allowed for a ninety-day public comment period. I’m concerned that fire and fuels has not been adequately integrated into the analysis and that California will end-up funding expensive forest fire suppression efforts that could be avoided. Worse yet, a California city could easily be the next Los Alamos if some of the proposed alternatives are implemented. Wildfire acreage burned in California has been accelerating in intensity and acres burned for the past several decades. Yet the Forest Service fire models used fire conditions represented by the 27-year average to justify the proposed alternatives. The Forest Service acknowledges that if it used instead, present-day conditions as represented by the past ten years average, wildfires would destroy old growth faster than nature can replace it under all alternatives. I do not want to see our state go up in flames! Please ask The Forest Service for more time for review and comment on this important issue facing all citizens of California. Thank you for your time on this important matter. Sincerely,
