The Forest Service values public participation. Communications from the public regarding this project, including commenters' names and contact information, will become part of the public record. Comments, including anonymous comments, will be accepted at any time. However, comments posted after the close of a designated comment period may not be able to be given full consideration. Anonymous comments and comments submitted after the close of the final designated comment period will not provide the commenter standing for administrative review. Comments, or in some cases other expressions of interest, along with respondent's contact information, submitted during the comment period may be necessary to establish a respondent's eligibility to participate in an administrative review for this proposed action. Interested members of the public should review the proposal's information to determine the applicable administrative review process and the eligibility requirements for that process.
The Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge Redevelopment project requires analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Town or Mammoth Lakes (Town) and the Forest Service have determined that the project may result in potentially significant environmental effects and, as such, will prepare a joint EIR/EIS for the project. The Town and Forest Service will serve as the lead agencies for CEQA and NEPA compliance, respectively.
