Ms. Landers, I was notified by Jim McCormick, biologist on the Monongahela National Forest Marlinton/White Sulphur Springs Ranger District, regarding the draft EA for road repair/decommissioning – specifically FS719A. I am project leader for monarchs and lepidoptera for WV DNR. Unfortunately, I was missed when documents were distributed, and I needed to comment on some of the proposed work.
The Appalachian grizzled skipper (Pyrgus wyandot) is a WV state species of conservation concern and a Forest Service Regional Foresters Sensitive Species. It was formerly found in scattered colonies in the eastern panhandle of WV but was extirpated there primarily due to repeated aerial applications of insecticides for control of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) in the 1980s and 1990s. A skipper colony along FS719A was discovered in the early 2000s; the WVDNR and FS have been coordinating monitoring and management since then. This population of Appalachian grizzled skipper is the largest population known. Management involves release and enhancement of its larval host Canada cinquefoil (Potentilla canadensis) and nectar sources during flight of the adults (mostly mid-April – mid-May depending on temperatures) and daylighting the road to increase sunlight for these plants. The skipper is found along the lower portions of FS719A, corresponding with Section 4 of the draft EA. The map below identifies the portion of the road that is currently known to be used by the species:
Regarding the proposed minimal improvements to this section on FS719A, care must be taken to avoid disturbing the shoulders of the road where Canada cinquefoil occurs, and slopes that harbor other spring blooming plants. The species uses Canada cinquefoil during all its life stages; eggs are laid on the underside of leaves, larva create leaf shelters and eat the leaves, pupas find shelter under the winter rosettes, and adults nectar from blooms in spring – the plant is essential to the species survival. Additionally, the skippers require some trees for adults to roost in and other spring blooming plants for survival. Along FS719A these primarily include moss phlox (Phlox subulata), bird-foot violet (Viola pedata), and Carolina vetch (Vicia caroliniana), among others. In the photo below, you can see that the distribution of these species is concentrated on the existing shoulders of FS719A.
Additionally, because of the nature of these native plants, any fill material used must be acidic, like the native shales. Addition of limestone fill/aggregate will increase the pH and allow invasive species to gain a greater foothold and smother out the cinquefoil and other needed flowering plants.
I know that this may pose a challenge to proposed road improvements, but before the 2016 floods, the FS and DNR partnered to develop techniques for installing broad-based dips to allow water drainage, while protecting the skipper habitat. We’ve drafted basic BMPs for skipper habitat management that have been shared with personnel at the FS including Cynthia Sandeno, District Ranger at White Sulphur and Jim McCormick, Biologist at Marlinton/White Sulphur, and would like to see these incorporated into the proposed road restorations. I would like to know specifically what actions are proposed for this section of FS719A.
I am willing to participate in a site visit preceding the start of any work done on FS719A. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely, Susan Olcott Project Leader, Wildlife Diversity Program

Subject: RE: Monongahela National Forest - Sulphur Lick Run Road Decommissioning and Relocation Project
Environmental Review Date: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 7:26:07 PM
Mrs. Landers, The purpose of the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) pursuant to 7 CFR 658: Federal agencies are (a) to use the criteria to identify and take into account the adverse effects of their programs on the preservation of farmland, (b) to consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could lessen adverse effects, and (c) to ensure that their programs, to the extent practicable, are compatible with State and units of local government and private programs and policies to protect farmland. If the project is going to fix existing roads and decommission others then the conversion of “farmland” will not occur and is therefore not subject to FPPA. Where “improvements” include expanding or building new roads, the footprint of the actual construction would constitute the conversion and should be calculated and shown clearly on a map so that soil types can be determined.
Your reason for dismissing further consideration of the FPPA due to the absence of prime and unique soils is inaccurate, see the partial definition of “farmland” 658.2(a) Farmland means prime or unique farmlands as defined in section 1540(c)(1) of the Act or farmland that is determined by the appropriate state or unit of local government agency or agencies with concurrence of the Secretary to be farmland of statewide of local importance. Note the inclusion of statewide and locally important farmland in the definition.
It is within your authority to make the determination of whether the site is “farmland” and subject to FPPA, however I would be happy to assist 658.4(a) An agency may determine whether or not a site is farmland as defined in §658.2(a) or the agency may request that NRCS make such a determination. If an agency elects not to make its own determination, it should make a request to NRCS on Form AD-1006, the Farmland Conversion Impact Rating Form
If you need further assistance do not hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to assist.

Good Morning Mr. Beard, The Marlinton/White Sulphur Springs Ranger District is proposing to provide improvements to several forest roads within the Brushy Mountain Grouse Management Area of the Monongahela National Forest, which were heavily damaged by storms and flooding in 2016. The Forest Service is partnering with the Eastern Federal Lands Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration to complete the environmental assessment, design, and construction of the proposed improvements.
A copy of the project map is attached. A summary project description is presented at the bottom of the email.
Farmlands are one of the issues being investigated for the Environmental Assessment (EA) of the project. Utilizing data provided by the USDA – NRCA Web Soil Survey (https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/WebSoilSurvey.aspx), we identified two soils classified as “farmland as statewide importance” that exist along the banks of Sulphur Lick Run:
· ErB—Ernest silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes
· MaC—Macove channery silt loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes
These two soil units account for 33.7 acres (3 percent) and 59.7 acres (5.3 percent) of the Area of Interest (AOI), respectively. In addition, these two soils are considered as prime farmland if irrigated;
however, none are irrigated within the project area. No unique farmlands were identified within the project area. Due to the absence of prime or unique farmlands associated with the project area, farmlands is dismissed from further analysis in this EA.
We would appreciate it if you could confirm whether you agree with our finding. Any comments you have regarding the proposed project would also be appreciated.
Thank you, -Lisa
Sulphur Lick Run Road Decommissioning and Relocation Project Description The project is located entirely within Greenbrier County, with the City of White Sulphur Springs approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the project area. The MNF and project area, are located north of I-64, and west of the Virginia state line. The project consists of multiple forest roads and is located entirely within the MNF land, though it provides access to private landholders who are encircled by the forest.
The MNF is proposing to take action in the Brushy Mountain Grouse Management Area to address the damages incurred in 2016 to Sulphur Lick Run Road (Forest Road 719) and an unnamed woods road. Portions of the gravel or earthen roads were partially or completely washed out by Sulphur Creek Run and other, unnamed stream reaches. Sulphur Lick Run Road (Forest Road 719), between mile post (MP) 0.8 and the beginning of the unnamed woods road, suffered catastrophic damage and are unusable due to slide slope and roadway washouts. Due to the proximity of this section of road runs to Sulphur Lick Run, it is likely that future heavy rain events will continue cause washouts.
Bringing this road up to standard is environmentally and economically unfeasible.
https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/WebSoilSurvey.aspx
The various improvements involve the decommissioning of most of Sulphur Lick Run Road and rehabilitation of the FR 719A extension road and an unnamed woods road. The portion of Sulphur Lick Road that is not being decommissioned would be reconstructed at locations that received storm damage. Specific improvements to FR 719, FR 719A, and the unnamed woods road are described in detail below.
· Sulphur Lick Run Road (FR 719) – This work includes reconstructing the roadway in areas that received storm damage such as side slope and roadway washouts outside of the portion of the roadway that is being decommissioned. This includes clearing and grubbing, embankment construction, construction of mechanically stabilized earth walls, culvert replacement, and resurfacing. Instead of reconstructing storm damaged areas between MP
0.8 of Sulphur Lick Run Road and the intersection with an unnamed woods road, this section of the roadway will be decommissioned. Decommissioning includes full recontouring of the road template and re-establishment of the drainages back to similar existing contours.
· FR 719A extension road – This work includes rehabilitating this roadway from the end of FR 719A to the beginning of the unnamed woods road. This includes clearing and grubbing and resurfacing.
· Unnamed Woods Road – This work includes rehabilitating this roadway from the end of the FR 719A extension road to the intersection with Sulphur Lick Run Road. Roadway widening will occur on about 1 mile of the roadway. Areas that received storm damage such as side slope and roadway washouts will be reconstructed. This includes clearing and grubbing, embankment construction, construction of mechanically stabilized earth walls, culvert replacement, and resurfacing.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The following best management practices (BMPs) are consistent with the guidelines set forth in the 2006 Monongahela National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (updated 2011), as well as other Forest Service policies and regulations. Table C-1 provides a list of BMPs that would be implemented regardless of the alternative chosen.
Table C-1: Project Best Management Practices
BMP Objective
During the design phase of project development, a detailed soil analysis would be completed, and a plan would be developed to address soil stability and revegetation during and post construction.
All disturbed areas would be stabilized and revegetated with native species in a timely manner. Seed mixes would be approved by a Forest Service botanist. Proper seed selection would promote revegetation with appropriate plants with deep root systems that would help to stabilize soils, foster greater infiltration, and reduce runoff. An annual cover crop like rye or oats may be used to temporarily stabilize the soil and discourage establishment of non-native invasive species (NNIS).
Equipment, vehicles, and trailers would be cleaned prior to entering MNF by scraping, brushing, or washing to minimize the risk of transporting NNIS.
Soil excavated during construction would be stockpiled and reused as fill if needed. Fill material, gravel, and mulch/straw would be free from NNIS to the extent possible.
Improve soil stability and reduce erosion and sediment from entering waterbodies.
Species protection.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan that uses BMPs to protect downstream areas would be developed and implemented to minimize erosion and sedimentation; the plans would be in place and all components activated prior to ground disturbing activities.
Reduce erosion and sediment from entering waterbodies; prevent and/or minimize impacts to water quality.
Reduce risk of erosion and sediment transport by appropriately using methods that may include, but are not limited to: straw bales, silt fencing, sand bags, filter fabric, temporary sediment ponds, check dams of pea gravel-filled burlap bags or other material, and/or immediate mulching of exposed areas.
Sediment traps should be incorporated into ditches.
Prevent sediment from entering waterbodies.
All machinery maintenance involving potential contaminants (fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, etc.) shall occur at a site greater than 150 feet from stream channels, water bodies, or wetlands, or at a prior approved site. Equipment operated instream should be
Prevent and minimize effects to water quality.
BMP Objective cleaned before beginning operations below the bankfull elevation to remove all external oil, grease, dirt, and mud.
Stationary power equipment (e.g., generators, cranes) operated within 150 feet of any stream, water body, or wetland should be diapered to prevent leaks.
Excess material (spoils) shall be disposed of and stabilized so it does not enter flowing waters, stream channels, or other waterbodies. The location for the stockpiling or disposal of excess material would be determined during design.
Prevent and minimize effects to water quality.
No tree clearing would be allowed between April 1 and November 15 in order to avoid impacts to bat species utilizing trees for roosting. The Forest Service should be notified 7 days in advance to inspect the trees for bat activity.
Species protection.
On FR 719A, disturbance of Canada cinquefoil and other spring blooming plants found on road shoulders and slopes would be avoided to the maximum extent possible in order to avoid impacts to the Appalachian grizzled skipper.
Any fill material used would be acidic, like the native shales. No limestone fill/aggregate would be used and use of lime or fertilizer would be avoided.
No insecticide would be applied near the occupied area.
Prior to construction activity on FR 719A, construction crews would be briefed on the skipper and made aware of the need to minimize impacts from equipment and traffic to the sides of
FR719A.
Species protection.
If protected species are identified during later phases of the project, the locations and sensitive areas containing protected species would be demarcated onsite with highly visible flagging or construction fencing prior to the start of any construction activities.
Species protection.
If a previously unidentified resource is discovered during project implementation, the Forest Cultural Resources Specialist would be notified and the Forest would fulfill its responsibilities in accordance with the Programmatic Agreement between the Forest Service and the State Historic Preservation Office.
Cultural Resources protection.

Public Scoping Report Sulphur Lick Run Road Decommissioning and Relocation EA
Introduction
The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) – Marlinton/White Sulphur Springs Ranger District is proposing to provide improvements to several forest roads within the Brushy Mountain Grouse Management Area of the
Monongahela National Forest (MNF), which were heavily damaged by storms and flooding in 2016. The
USFS is partnering with the Eastern Federal Lands Division Office (EFLHD) of the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to complete the Environmental Assessment (EA), design, and construction of the proposed improvements.
An EA is being prepared to analyze and disclose to the public the environmental, social, and economic impacts of repair and construction of roads within the National Forest System (NFS), and also roads not formally adopted in the NFS, but that are used by the USFS to meet the goals and objectives of the MNF.
The EA will be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, Council on Environmental Quality regulations implementing NEPA, the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, and other associated regulations. This EA will analyze and establish the USFS management practices for the MNF in response to current legislation, policies, and the demand to use public land and its resources.
An integral part of the planning and environmental process is public participation, which keeps the public engaged and appraised of the project’s progress and intended effects. Opportunities for public participation include public scoping, as well as opportunities for public comment that are solicited through mailings, public advertisements, and meetings. The frequency and level of public participation solicitation will depend on the level of environmental documentation.
Background
In June of 2016, torrential rain caused epic flooding in West Virginia. This one-in-one-thousand year event severely damaged roads, trails, and recreation sites in the southern half of the MNF. In the Brushy
Mountain Grouse Management Area, heavy rainfall that caused extensive damage to forest roads. As such, emergency repair funds through the Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads (ERFO) program were made available to assist with repairs to this section of the forest.
The project is located entirely within Greenbrier County, with the City of White Sulphur Springs approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the project area. The MNF and project area, are located north of
1-64, and west of the Virginia state line. The project consists of multiple forest roads and is located entirely within the MNF land, though it provides access to private landholders who are encircled by the forest. No activities for this project are proposed on private lands. Please refer to the Figure 1 for a location map of the project area and proposed repairs.
The MNF was established in 1920 in the northcentral highlands of West Virginia. The more than
919,000-acre national forest provides timber, water, grazing, minerals, and recreational opportunities.
The project area lies in the Brushy Mountain area in the southwest corner of the Marlinton/White
Sulphur Ranger District, with Interstate 64 (I-64) on the southern edge and the West Virginia/Virginia state line on the eastern edge. The 7,148 acres in the project area include approximately 6,862 acres of
Forest Service land and 322 acres of privately-owned land. The area was acquired by the MNF in 2003
Public Scoping Report Sulphur Lick Run Road Decommissioning and Relocation EA from the Westvaco Corporation. Westvaco actively managed the lands for commercial timber with frequent harvests. 1
Forest Road 719 (FR 719) complex (Buskirk/Sulphur Lick Run Roads) was a network of old logging roads that were officially adopted into the USFS road system, becoming formal roads and brought up to and maintained to appropriate standards. The three formal Forest Service Roads in the project area are FR
719, FR 719A, and FR 719B: FR 719B is not a part of this project and improvements to that road are being undertaken separately. The unnamed woods road is not currently a part of the formal road network.
FR 719 (Sulphur Lick Run Road), FR 719A extension road, and the unnamed woods road are one-lane, two-way gravel roads that provide forest access. The roads are used for resource management activities such as logging and fire management activities, access to private properties, and for recreation activities such as hunting and hiking. The project area is also being managed by the Forest Service for Brushy
Mountain Ruffed Grouse habitat restoration. Public access via these forest roads is available from
September 1 through January 30. Outside of those dates the roads are only accessible for landowners and Forest Service staff.
In 2016, the Forest Service closed the FR 719 complex at State Route 92 to the end of these roads on
Brushy Mountain because the roads were no longer traversable due to the extent of the damage.
