NEW - Ski Area Water Rights on National Forest System Lands - Notice of final directive; request for public comment.
The Forest Service amended the agency's policy for ski area concessions by adding two ski area water clauses to the Special Uses Handbook, FSH 2709.11, Chapter 50.
The Final Directive is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on Dec. 30, 2015. The Federal Register Notice provides background on the directive and includes the agency's response to comments received on the proposed directive.
This final directive follows the proposed directive for ski area water rights published in the Federal Register on June 23, 2014. That notice initiated a 60-day public comment period. Additionally, a 120-day Tribal consultation period began on July 28, 2014.
