The objection resolution period has been extended an additional 30 days, as allowed under U.S. Forest Service regulations, for the Village at Wolf Creek Access Project. The current 45-day resolution period was set to end Tuesday.

On Nov. 20, 2014, the Rio Grande National Forest released the final environmental impact statement and draft record of decision for the Village at Wolf Creek Access Project. The draft decision approved the land exchange to meet the legal obligation of the Forest Service to provide access to private property owned by Levell-McCombs Joint Venture. The draft record of decision initiated a 45-day objection filing period, with no extensions allowed per federal regulations. The Rocky Mountain Regional Office received 20 objections to the final environmental impact statement and draft record of decision. Upon completion of the objection resolution period, Deputy Regional Forester Maribeth Gustafson will respond to each objector and may provide a letter of direction to the forest.
