Subject: Comments Sought for Sandia RD Recreation Improvement Decommission and Demolition Project



The Forest Service proposes the decommissioning and demolition of several structures and amenities across the Sandia Ranger District, including vault toilet facilities (4), recreation residences (2), and a mixed-use building (i.e., Sandia Crest House) located on the Sandia Ranger District. This action is needed to address health and safety concerns, agency special use permit requirements, scenic integrity objectives – and to improve the overall recreation experience for visitors.



The scoping letter and maps can be found on the project website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r03/cibola/projects/68470. A print copy of the proposal will be available to view during regular business hours (8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday) at the front desk of the Sandia Ranger District, 11776 HWY 337 Tijeras, NM 87059.



Please submit comments no later than September 8, 2025. Electric Comments must be submitted to sm.fs.r3cibolamail at usda.gov<mailto:sm.fs.r3cibolamail at usda.gov>, Subject Line: Sandia Recreation Improvement Decommission and Demolition Project. Additional ways to comment are also described in the scoping letter.



Sincerely,



Ken Born
