Question 3 - What part of the Austin Draft Environmental Impact concerns you?

Question 5 - What should the Forest Service reconsider, clarify, or change (what are you asking the agency to do. For an example withdrawn the DEIS until a full analysis is completed, change the designation of all roads from stored to open on the maps, only ask for certain roads to be move from stored to open roads, just write what you want the agency to do here) ?
