I am pleased that the Forest Service has issued its supplemental environmental analysis and determined that the North Fork Coal Mining Area exception should be reinstated. Serial litigation tactics implemented by extreme special interests have put the livelihoods of families in Delta and Gunnison counties at risk, and I am glad to see action from the Forest Service even if it is long overdue.” In January 2016, Tipton and Colorado U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner led a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack urging completion of the SFEIS that resulted from a June 2014 court ruling. In May 2016, Tipton called for a meeting with the USFS and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after the USFS announced it would delay the release of the SFEIS until the fall. The USFS will hold a thirty-day internal review period, and the OMB will issue a sixty-day stay on the reinstatement before it is implemented. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
