Though the public comment period for a draft environmental impact statement concerning use of chemical retardants on wildfires is currently underway through the end of June, the U.S. Forest Service is continuing its use.
The next public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, May 26, 2011, in Missoula, Montana, with more planned for California, Arizona and Washington State.
The draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), now in a 45-day public comment period, is the result of a 2010 District Court ruling forcing the Forest Service to comply with national environmental laws. That ruling directed the Forest Service to scientifically outline the environmental impact of dropping the chemical fire retardants on plants, animals and fish in national forests by a December 2011 deadline.
