SUMMARY:Benchmark Vegetation Management Project\, Black Hills National Forest. Comment deadline unknown
DESCRIPTION:There will not be a comment period on the Benchmark Vegetation Management Project until the future – MID MAY \nHere is a quote from the Forest Services Letter we received on this project \n“This letter is intended to give you early notification of the Benchmark project. It is not initiating a \ncomment period. Information about this project can be found on the Black Hills National Forest website \n(https://www.fs.usda.gov/r02/blackhills/projects/68498). A comment period will be offered with the \nrelease of the Draft Environmental Assessment\, which is expected to be available in mid-May.”….. \n========= \nThe Benchmark Project is being analyzed under the provisions of the Emergency Action Determination \n(EAD) under Section 40807 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. EAD authorities can be \napplied to projects that pre-emptively address the potential impacts of natural disturbances\, such as \nwildfire and insect infestation\, to nearby communities and National Forest System lands that have been \nidentified as being in an emergency situation. The Benchmark project area is in such a landscape as \ndetermined by the Secretary of Agriculture. The EAD provisions expedite implementation of eligible \nprojects by eliminating the objection process under 36 CFR 218.……… \n========= \n“The Black Hills National Forest\, Northern Hills Ranger District (NHRD)\, is preparing an environmental \nassessment (EA) for the Benchmark Vegetation Management Project (Benchmark Project)\, located south \nof Lead-Deadwood\, SD\, west of Vanocker Canyon Road\, north of Benchmark Road and Custer Crossing \nRoad\, and east of Rochford Road. \nThe purpose of the Benchmark project is to implement forest management actions to provide commercial \ntimber to local industry\, reduce hazardous fuels\, and reduce the risk of insect infestation.” \n— \nWe assume a 30 day comment period will be offered in mid May\, which would make the comment deadline mid June. We are assigning a comment deadline of June 17th\, 2026\, but that is theorectical. WE DON’T YET KNOW THE DEADLINE – we are putting in a 1 month bracket from May 17th to June 17th for commenting  – but we don’t know \nInformation can be found on the project webpage at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r02/blackhills/projects/68498
