SCOPING NOTICE PROPOSED PROJECT ON STATE TRUST LANDS IN FLOWER CREEK AREA July 3, 2018 The Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Libby Unit, is soliciting comments and concerns on requested uses of State Lands in the Flower Creek area. Lincoln County is proposing to develop and construct a non-motorized trail system and its amenities in portions of sections 16 and 20 T30N R31W. This project would consist of approximately 9.1 miles of new single track trail construction, 2.5 miles of existing roads would also be used for sections of trail, and a trailhead. The trail would be built to International Mountain Bicycling Association standards. Amenities would include a 40 foot by 80 foot parking lot, vaulted toilet and a kiosk and signage at the trailhead and along trails. DNRC is considering the issuance of a Land Use License (LUL) which would allow these elements to be placed on the landscape. All improvements would be non-perpetual in nature and could be moved off the landscape and rehabbed if requested. These parcels would continue to be primarily managed for timber resources. This notice has been sent to you because you a neighboring land owner or we believe you may have interest in the proposal area. In accordance with Montana Environmental Policy Act, public concerns about the project and potential environmental impacts will be considered and analyzed prior to making the decision of whether or not to grant the LUL. You have until August 9, 2018 to submit your concerns or comments relating to this project by mail or e-mailing written comments to Jeremy Rank, DNRC Libby Unit, 177 State Lands Office Road, Libby, MT 59923 or e-mail at: jrank@mt.gov.
