02/22/08 - Forest Service Tells ANF to Revise Plan
The U.S. Forest Service told Allegheny National Forest to redo parts of its management plan to clarify its authority to manage oil and gas drilling and because the plan does not take into account drilling's effect on air quality. The ANF also did not allow the public to comment on changes concerning oil and gas development that were made between the plan's draft and final versions, according Joel D. Holtrop, reviewing officer for the chief of the Forest Service. Though officials must redo portions affecting oil and natural gas, other aspects of the plan were affirmed. The plan, adopted a year ago, was designed to guide management of the forest for the next 10 to 15 years. Among other things, it called for increased regulation of oil and gas drilling, adding two wilderness areas totaling about 12,000 acres and creating three remote recreation areas. ANF officials say they don't know how long it will take to revise the plan.
