Dear Interested Party,
The Pawnee National Grassland of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee
National Grassland is proposing a developed recreational shooting area on National Forest
System lands between Ault and Briggsdale, Colo., north of Colorado State Highway 14. The
proposed project area is approximately three acres. (see map)
Over recent years, the Pawnee National Grassland has seen an increase in recreational shooting
as the population on the Colorado Front Range grows. Currently, recreational shooting takes
place throughout the Grassland, with only a few small areas restricted. Construction of this
proposed shooting area would provide the opportunity for a safe shooting environment that could
be more easily monitored and maintained.
The proposal is for a 100 yard range with eight to ten shooting positions. The site would be open
to the public seven days a week from dawn until dusk. The area would include an access road
and parking lot, bermed shooting area, informational kiosk, benches, and shade cover, if
constructed as proposed.
The environmental and social effects of this proposed action will be analyzed. Public comment
and collaboration, as well as input from U.S. Forest Service specialists, will be used to further
develop and refine the proposal. To provide input on this proposal, please send comments to
Lori Bell at the address on this letterhead, or email to labell@fs.fed.us. To be fully considered in
the project analysis and to keep the planning process on schedule, please respond by October 7,
2010. As information becomes available, it will be posted online at www.fs.usda.gov/arp.
Sincerely,
lc"( C r
