Comments: Lonnie Crotts 808 Honeysuckle Drive Greensboro, NC 28641 March 14, 2013 I oppose the US Forest Service proposal to perform prescribed burns in the Buffalo National River Lower Buffalo Wilderness. 1. Please analyze whether the agency's plan for prescribed fire matches the area's historic fire regime in terms of such things as fire intensity, fire frequency, and time of year. (E.g., was the historic fire regime one of intense crown fires and/or stand-replacement fires, or one of less intense ground fires? At what time of year did fires historically burn, and does the FS plan match that temporally? Historically, how frequently did natural fires burn? 2. Please conduct a Minimum Requirements Decision Guide analysis for every non-conforming use that the agency proposes, for example, for chainsaw use within the Wilderness or aerial ignition via plane or helicopter. 3. Please analyze the impacts to wilderness character of any fire lines cut in the wilderness, and analyze how cutting fire lines could increase the invasion of non-native invasive species. 4. Please analyze why natural lightning-caused fire alone cannot be used to restore fire to the ecosystem. Please analyze whether lightning fires alone could not also benefit the Buffalo National River Lower Buffalo Wilderness. 5. Human-ignited prescribed fire is a major manipulation or trammeling of Wilderness. Please analyze the damage to Wilderness aspect of the Buffalo National River Lower Buffalo Wilderness the plan that extensively manipulates the Wilderness with fire, fire lines, etc. 6. Please advise what if any retardants will be used within the Buffalo National River Lower Buffalo Wilderness and, if so, please conduct a full environmental analysis of the retardant's impacts on the Wilderness and the ecosystem. 7. Please conduct a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this project. This proposal is a major federal action significantly affecting the environment of the Buffalo National River Lower Buffalo Wilderness and, as such, should have the full analysis of an EIS rather than an EA. 8. Please advise how climate change will impact fire behavior and, particularly, extreme fire events? 9. Please advise how climate change will impact existing fuel treatments modify future fire behavior so as to aid fire suppression? 10. Please advise what fire sensitive flora and fauna exist in the Buffalo National River Lower Buffalo Wilderness and what measures will be instituted to protect them and their role in the forest. Sincerely, Lonnie CrottsFlag -
